35 Days and Counting..

    For those of you that recognize Lent, you will get this, for those of you don't you may or you may not.       For the last 35 days I've been fasting, not the typical soda give up for lent, or alcohol or whatever you've chosen to do with out for 40 days. I chose to give up solid food all day everyday till Easter Sunday. As a young adult who is focused on health, you may say that this a bad decision. How is he getting through this? Well its been tough, but worth it. I followed the guidelines of my church(CROSSROADS) and it does make you hunger for God, with the right mind set that is. When you get hungry, you think,"GOD I WANT FOOD!!!", but then the second though swings in, and it is God, reminding you of why you are doing this. For him, his son. Then the hunger isn't nearly that bad, but for a young adult who works out and has to maintain a level of caloric intake, its really tough, and its showing its head in the gym. My body has started to creep into starvation mode, where it's starting to burn muscle and retain fat, For all you "starvers"out there, THIS IS WHAT YOUR DOING TO YOUR BODY!!!!!. ITS HEALTHY TO EAT, IF YOU EAT HEALTHY!!! You think your getting skinny by not eating, by actually your doing the exact opposite.

     My point to this ramble, is that the road to success is paved through hard work, determination and personal sacrifice.
