“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding”
-Martin Luther
Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 2 - Video
Day 2 was chill. I spent time with my two babies and took care of a few things around the house. I felt good today but energy was more of a calm stable kind of energy than a "charged up and ready to go" kind of energy. I took a long nap in the middle of the day for almost two hours and it seems that I am getting better rest the last few nights as well. I took my colon-cleansing regimen today and although I certainly prefer a clean colon, I don't like the process of colon cleaning. I will most likely take a break from the regimen tomorrow.
I made a new broth today that I really liked. Broths add a nice touch and can be surprisingly strengthening. I drank about 6 cups of broth and felt stronger in the evening than I did during the day.
About an hour after the broth I went for an evening run and even though my colon cleansing products were doing their thing, it was a good run.

Sunday, July 3, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 3 - Video
This is the first day I actually woke up and felt like eating. It was kind of odd because it has been awhile since I actually felt "hungry" but we handled it fine.
Yesterday's run kicked up my appetite a little which is why I wanted to take the workouts slowly. Energy today was not what I like it to be. I didn't "feel" like being productive even though I ran some errands and did what I needed to. It wasn't at all a bad day, just not as upbeat as I’d like. I am glad to be taking a break from colon cleansing products. My stomach feels much better and is at ease.

“If you put off everything until you’re sure of it, you’ll never get anything done.”
-Norman Vincent Peale
Monday, July 4, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 4 - Video
I started the day with prayer and then a long run. I completed almost 6 miles and ran about ½ the time. As with the run a few days ago, it went great and I didn’t really feel like I was working at all until the last mile or so. I want to condition myself for a triathlon later this year if all goes as planned. I haven’t raced in two years so it certainly would be great to be in the atmosphere again. It is so easy to slip into inactivity and allow life’s “to do’s” to snuff out vibrancy. Too many of us make health and fitness a priority only when we get a bad report from the
physician.
Although I think that it is great when one gets into shape to regain their health and take back the level of fitness that they are entitled to, I would prefer “not” to have to be ill in order to get motivated. I have been active ever since I can remember, and even the years where I can’t remember all the details, my mother tells me that I was an incredibly active little boy.
Unfortunately, although I have fitness programming running in my subconscious from all the years of working out, I don’t always have a consciously active running program like I should. In other words, I tend to let my workouts slide. Now at 40 years old, in my opinion, it is essential to maintain an active lifestyle.
As I get older, even though I have the ability to rebound and get back to an acceptable level of fitness, it is not as easy as 5 years ago. This is where juice fasting comes into play and is such a blessing because it can seemingly stop the clock.
I expected to get hungry in the evening because of this morning’s work out. The call for more calories came around 5:00 pm and lasted for a few hours. Of course it doesn’t help that it is Independence Day for us and a gathering at my sister’s home presented a wide array of food choices. Ahh yes….discipline.

“In the last analysis, what we are communicates more eloquently than anything we say or do.”
-Steven Covey
Tuesday, July 5, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 5 - Video
I went to bed last night with an incredibly bad stomachache and woke up mildly bloated. For me, the stomach issues this early in the fast usually mean that I still have much work to do cleaning out the colon. So I flushed out multiple times today with a 2-quart enema and sure enough, I had quite a bit of old waste coming out.
Even after today’s regimen, I don't feel I'm done. I contacted a colonic
hydrotherapist and it looks like she's going to allow me to come in and not only have a professional colonic done but maybe interview her about the process and their services as well. This should be good stuff and I am looking forward to bringing on the big guns.
I have cut my coffee intake in half and I must say that it feels a little odd. My energy is good, but I feel much more calm and not as anxious as I sometimes feel, especially when I have multiple tasks that I am trying to accomplish. I tried to kick the caffeine with last year’s juice fast but I was just not well prepared to do it. I am a long time coffee drinker, but I think this time we got it whipped.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 6
Time is really flying by. After 6 days of juice fasting, I am so far very pleased with the results and also very happy with the fact that I have not had any cleansing reactions whatsoever. This is not to say that I won’t have any, but even if I do, the intensity and frequency of such have been minimized by proper preparation.
I pressed myself a little harder in the pool today and swam 1000 yards. It felt great to be able to step it up a little and as usual, the energy was great. The only reason I didn’t do more is because I want to be careful with really working out hard so as to not have any problems while on a fast. I know what to expect from my body when I press it hard not being on a juice fast, but while on a juice fast I am going to use caution. The accomplishment of a 30 day juice fast is more important than
increasing my work out capacity. After the fast is over, I’ll be able to make significant gains in my work outs in much less time.

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thursday, July 7, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 7 - Video
Having the colonic today was the right thing to do. The thought crossed my mind while driving that I didn’t want to wait until next week, for the appointment that I already had set. Enemas are just not as effective as a colonic. They certainly can provide some relief but making the decision to have a colonic today was what I needed and the fact that they literally got me into a session in 30 minutes was an added bonus.
I have gone to this particular place before but they have since grown and have many more rooms available. I was actually seen by the owner and she did a great job. I still feel like I have a bit of water in me, but that is to be expected with the amount of water that was in my colon.
The rest of the day was uneventful and I even wasted about 2 hours watching Unsolved Mysteries! I am in no way a coach potato and spend little time watching TV, but sometimes I feel like I need to stop and do nothing or else I become
consumed by productivity and trying to meet my objectives.
That would certainly be out of balance. I mean what good is it to get to the top of
“Success Mountain” if the rest of your life is ruined when you get there?

“Setting goals is the first step toward turning the invisible into the visible.”
-Tony Robbins
Friday, July 8, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 8
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise…Not sure where I read that statement but I believe it anyhow. There is something about silence that is very empowering. The morning hours are my favorite time of day. I believe there is no better investment that a human being can make than to seek God early. I learned how to pray from the examples in the bible and the life of a man named William M. Branham (http://www.williambranham.com/).
He said that if you want to get close to God, read your bible and pray. In my entire life I have never personally met anyone who I thought lived closer to God than him.
In addition, there is no single minister that I know of that had such a supernatural ministry (and I have heard a LOT of preachers in my life). I mean come on, when the resurrection of the dead occurs, cancer is healed, as well as almost every
possible ailment a human being can have, and countless testimonies of healing and deliverance following a ministry, I think that’s kind of a clue….hmm…. might be somebody worth listening to.
God always did identify himself with the supernatural. Of course it is a part of the Gospel, and not the whole Gospel. But you simply don’t have the full Gospel without the supernatural.
Anyway, I have put the best advice I have ever been given (read your bible and pray) to the test and know that it’s true. Yet in almost 20 years since God
interrupted my life, prayer remains the most mysterious discipline I undertake.
It takes faith to pray and reach out to him who you cannot see; but it is also this reaching out to him that unlocks faith and brings God close. For me, it is prayer that has made God much more real and brings an awareness of his being. It brings the bible to life and makes my daily affairs salty with his presence. God help me to pray more! Why do we as children of God settle for less?
I had a lot of things to do today so after my morning orange juice, I loaded my water bottles with brown rice syrup and water, which is the way I carb up for workouts while juice fasting. It provides good fuel for long workouts because it is a complex “time released energy source,” making it a lasting fuel.
Brown rice syrup is roughly 50% soluble complex carbohydrate, 45% maltose and 3% glucose. The glucose is absorbed into the blood stream immediately, the
maltose digests in over an hour and a half, and the complex carbohydrates burn over two to three hours. It is usually listed from neutral to slightly acidic on the pH scale.

“I am dying from the treatment of too many physicians.”
-Alexander the Great
Saturday, July 9, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 9
Today’s enema flush produced a load of old waste. I am not really surprised. With the way my stomach has been feeling, it’s pretty consistent with what is coming out. I once heard a notable physician say that efficient bowel elimination from the time you eat is about 8 hours; any longer than that and you are suffering from some degree of constipation. I don’t know that I have ever been that regular. Perhaps that’s why the colon cleaning part of the detox is producing so much waste.
This is the reason I have planned on having at least 3 colonics during this fast. 18 months of not doing a long juice fast and I am certainly paying the price. That’s not to say that I have to do a 30 day juice fast every year. I could eat better and such a challenging feat would probably not be needed. But as of right now, it still gets me back on track making improvements to my health.
I grilled some ribs and chicken for my family tonight and actually tasted the chicken. However, I chewed it and then spit it out. I didn’t really feel like I was missing anything and wasn’t at all overwhelmed by the need to eat. It did smell and taste good, but right now it is contrary to my objective.
I did not intend on really doing any exercise today because I pressed myself hard yesterday and wanted to see how I would recover. Recovery was better than I expected. I kicked up the settings on the stationary bike at the gym and rode
intervals for almost an hour yesterday and today my muscles do not feel sore at all.
They do feel a little weak, but not sore. Alkalinity is a wonderful thing.
Even though I was at the pool today, I didn’t carb up with brown rice syrup or anything for a swim because I was really at the pool to spend time with my son.
Good stable energy today.

“Do something for somebody each day for which you do not get paid.”
-Albert Shweitzer
Sunday, July 10, 2011 Juice Fast: Day 10
So far today has been the worst day of this juice fast. The main reason is because of the process of eliminating caffeine from my diet. I am drinking ¼ of what my normal intake has been for a long time. Last year’s fast did not break the caffeine addiction. However, even though I expect to be able to accomplish the final two-weeks of the fast caffeine free, minor withdrawals go with the territory.
I was exhausted today. No caffeine headache, which I am thankful for, but I was incredibly tired and moody pretty much all day long. There was a brief episode of very mild muscle aches after I awoke from a nap, which is typical of caffeine withdrawals (at least it is for me). Because I am coming off of a drug, the natural inclination is to fill the void with food, something that will offer an exchange for the “organismic” feeling that drugs provide. Processed food is very good at this,
