I love food! I love having energy! The soups turned out great. I must say I was still dragging on Saturday even though I was able to eat soup. Sunday is when I really noticed my energy back. I felt like a much better teacher at school today too. I actually played with the kids. Last week I mostly watched them play. My back isn't sore, more organs don't hurt. Food is a wonderful thing! I am really glad that I did it and I feel really good. I think I'll do it for 5 days each year.
So now my health focus is not only eating right but exercising regularly. In addition to running once a week, I'm going to join aerobics in the park and do pilates. I want to do things that will tone my muscles.
As Witnesses, we're all very busy with the regular routine of meetings, service, family, etc. And sometimes I feel slightly guilty about having a major health focus. But I really benefit from having a health focus. It does take a bit of time and energy (which is why I think I feel slightly guilty) but it's so beneficial! When I feel good physically it overflows into other aspects of my life. I end up being a better teacher (school and service), retaining information better and feeling more productive. It's all about being balanced. (I think I'd enjoy being a Nutrition Counselor...haha)

Great news about your results. Being healthy physically also impacts the mental outlook and perspective--which is absolutely beneficial today.
Why feel guilty about caring for yourself and the gift of life? Many today are suffering and feeling the effects of being imbalanced and abusing or neglecting their physical life---Ps 115:17.
Right on!
Yes. If you are going to feel guilty, feel guilty about a "guilty pleasure" not a DIET!! lol
