Do 42

Today marks the 15th day of my 42 day cleansing fast. 42 is the amazing 42 day program for cleansing the mind, body and spirit. I made up in my mind that in order to get to the next level of my life, I had to do something that I had never done. 2010 was fastly approaching and I haven't made resolutions since I was about 20. I've always set goals to achieve in my new year, but this year I KNOW that I am entering into my season of abundance and prosperity.

My lifestyle has changed tremendously and its unbelievable the progress I have made from 2007, to now. In 2007, that's when the transformation begun. I was going through HELL and I had to re-evaluate my Life. WhenI took a close evaluation, I was living in fear, selfishness, lack of self-love, and I had no peace. I made a commitment that year to surrender my life to God and allow him to use me as he see fit. I read "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren and since then, I haven't been the same. I started walking the righteous path.

I was introduced to The 40 Day Miracle in 2008 and I told everybody else about it. I didn't need to do this because I definitely didn't need to lose weight. After, my first son was born, I was blessed to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. So I made every excuse and justification to NOT do 42. Well, I had another baby in 2009 and that baby left me sort of "fluffy," as my friend Professor Harris, Author of A2Z Inspirational Marketing says. I tried everything and I still had that pouch! OMG, I was not used to that! I knew then, I needed to do something outside of the norm to have the perfect body that I had before kids entered into my world. I also knew if I wanted a deeper understanding of life and how it's all connected, I needed to explore the foundation, which is God. So 42 was my answer.

I have only 27 days until I am completed. And so far, its been a challenge. It's not really that hard, but it has placed structure and discipline in my life. The most challenging aspect of the program is the food. Not being able to eat anything with sugar or salt is extremely hard to adjust especially when you are used to eating candy like a kid! Through this process I am also learning a lot about myself. I was a person that never tried foods out of the norm. Now I am open to eating different types of vegetables and friuts. I also learned that I loved to season my food with salt. Now I've replaced Lawry's with herbs and spices. I am learning the joy of happiness fills up a room. I am learning that happiness is a continuous feeling and not justa one-time or occasional experience. I am learning that everybody else is not really my concern. Because I am responsible for me and shaping my world. Most inportantly, I am learning that God is my best friend and he has my best interest at heart.
