Diet Update...and Lance Armstrong

OK, today is Day 4 of my (mostly raw) vegan diet. I feel great, and have had no real detox issues. I thought I would, radically changing my diet like this. I expected constant headaches, stomach pain, etc and aside from a headache the first day, I have not had any of those. Going cold turkey off all animal products, soda, bread, dough, etc has produced some cravings, but nothing too bad. Honestly, the worst thing has been not using my usual vanilla creamer for my coffee, although I did find a soy that is pretty good. The worst time of day every day has been 5-8pm, when I am ravenous no matter how much I have eaten during the day, my energy is very low, and I am (a Bit) cranky. THINGS MY CHILDREN KNOW AT THIS POINT: 1) It is rude to eat, discuss, or ask for chocolate, pizza, or cheeseburgers. 2) Bickering and fighting with each other is a really bad idea between 5 and 8pm, when the most minor offenses could very well result in 10 years hard labor. 3) It does not go over well when asking Mommy for the 5th time if she should be having her ONE cup of coffee in the morning. (I have not given up caffeine completely. One cuppa joe and one cuppa black tea usually per day) Completely off the subject, I have been very sad about Mr Lance Armstrong this week. His Oprah interview saddened me in so many ways, all I will say is that I think he said it all when he said he does not approach life from a Godly way of truth and integrity as the goal because he does not "do that". He mentioned his ex wife told him that the "truth will set you free" (John 8:32) and that he hasn't bought into that. It was the saddest because my own life has shown me the truth of how truth itself is freedom (from lies, covering, guilt, penalties etc). It is sad from a sin and brokenness standpoint, but is also cause for much hope. It is only in brokenness that we can begin to seek God and the freedom of truth. That is my prayer and hope for this man and the many who looked to him for heroism and leadership; he has great potential to become a new man inside out. I pray God speaks to his heart, and that anyone who looked to him as hero will look to Jesus instead....the one who will never let us down. God bless!
