Tomorrow starts the beginning of lent. This year I will give up stress (or learn how to channel it to more positive things) and I am going to start Lent with a 10 day juice fast for cleansing and clarity.  Then i hope to stay strong and do an alternating day fast until the end of lent.    First i must get through day one.... I have been preparing for tomorrow for about 5 days.  I went down to one very small meal a day.   I was strong the first day and i really had a battlefield in my mind through out each day.   Still the stronghold of food and comfort are there.   Last night i had so much energy that i was up nearly all night.   Of course today...every test under the sun...I failed. Stress and Trials and Chocolate....so good thing tomorrow is the beginning.     Tonight I hope i can get some sleep.     Until tomorrow.
