Last night I wanted to go out with a huge bang. I sat down knowing I would not touch sugar to my lips for 40 days which caused me to consume Newman O’s, Almond Milk, and Vanilla Macaroon Granola…all in the same tall clear glass. Oh happy day.

Fast-forward to this morning. I woke up at 6:30am and my stomach was pissed at me. I think mentally I was already not doing well since I decided to eliminate coffee during the next 40 days. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I made that decision but it’s mid-morning and I’m surviving.

Breakfast: Scoop of Whey Protein in 12 oz of unfiltered water and a local Texas Peach. About 2 hours later I needed more so I had 1 free-range egg and chopped up grass-fed brisket.

Lunch: Scoop of Whey Protein in 12 oz of unfiltered water.

Supplements: I took 4 Garden and the Greens today because I knew I could use the boost without my beloved coffee being in my life. 4 Life Code, 2 Fat Loss Maximizers before I ate. And then 2 Multi Vitamins, 1 Lean Maximizer, and 2 Fibers.

Drink: I have only had about 20 oz of water so far. But I’ve brewed Enfusia and I’m rockin! Feel awesome right now. Drinking hot Enfusia, full strength, with nothing in it. I like that earthy, strong herbal tea flavor.

My prayer this morning: Lord, I desire that during the next 40 days I experience Jesus in a new and fresh way. Not because of something I knew from Vacation Bible School or some book that I picked up off the shelf at the cool Christian bookstore. Not because someone famous preached about a new cleaver way to be a better me or sacrifice my life for the Kingdom. Lord, I want to find you because I came closer to you. And I ask that it transforms my heart, mind, and body over the next 40 days.

Workout: Have not had my hard workout today but I will in about 2 hours. And then I’m helping a couple in our community group move to the ‘hood. Or the O.C. as some of us would call it. Have I ever mentioned that in hell that’s what they make you do? Move.

Hell: “Welcome to hell. Here are the keys to a 5000 square foot beautiful home that is only 5 blocks away. Just pack up everything you see in boxes, load them all up in the truck, and unload all this heavy furniture and all the small delicate items into your new amazing home.” And just when the last piece of newspaper is unwrapped from the very last plate you put in your cabinet…DING DONG! “Welcome to hell. Here are the keys to a 5000 square foot beautiful home that is only 5 blocks away. Just pack up everything you see…” Now that is my personal hell.
