April 5, 2026 is Resurrection Sunday and I will delight in a sugar and media detox for 21 days. Skip breakfast, first meal at noon. 3 eggs mixed into hamburger meat and avocado with basalmic vinegar. 18 hours of fasting resets metabolism and energizes life. A dumb flip phone replaces my smart phone to reboot my brain and do a digital detox. Keep in contact by email or on WhatsApp. The Good News has zero limits. Lord Jesus help me to better feed my mind and body. His Word makes it clear. Confusion has ended.
What I do in private will be seen in public. It takes time, daily effort, intentional discipline, and testimonies to fuel my determination. At my senora age, I’m so excited to add the drops to regulate my metabolism with sustained, incremental progress. I Begin Expecting
At age 74, I want the joy of the Lord to increase. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I do take responsibility.

“Do NOT fear, for I am with you; do NOT be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with MY righteous RIGHT hand. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do NOT fear; I will help you.” ❤️ Isaiah 41:10-13
OMAD Fasting along with Probiotiix, the drops, Abvantage, and Noni juice for a quick release of fat.
I gently stretch, walk, and exercise in pool 60 minutes for knee strength. My joy increases with consistency. Tai Chi at home. The Spirit works out my salvation with the joy of self-discipline. Fighting my flesh, denying myself is rewarded by God. I am a work in progress.
New daily habits of lifting weights adds strength and much confidence. Summer fun in the pool with a few saints. The Word of God us a lamp unto my feet.
God arranged for me to return to the beach in 2025. Mike and Heather stayed 3 days. Trips to DQ not good. Reunited with Ricia Adair at her amazing casa for Bible study. REMEMBERING is the fuel of faith. 3/12/2025 God stepped in to help me.
I submitted to God’s tug and bought 10 boxes of drops as a partner. I recovered my physical and spiritual health. My mental clarity is phenomenal. Jesus asked, “Do you want to be healed?” Yes, I do, and I picked up my excuses and trusted His tug. My gut acts as my body’s second “brain,” so when I eat less, I digest less, and my gut is healthier! Probiotiix helps me manage my bowels and also prevents bloating, improves memory, and even boosts my mood.
A motivational YouTube to reboot brain and align with God’s Word. Get my bowels working, and boost energy and joy. At age 74 the joy of my salvation has returned!
Deny sugar and cell phone distractions. That great decision extends the quality and joy in my life. Satiate hunger with bacon, eggs, steak, avocado, coffee, and water. Check in with Vicky, Liz, Carol, and Linda. No longer a slug or catapillar, moving in a lighter flight.
What I do in private will be noted in public. JUST DO IT! The nay sayers will always be hovering around. Expect to bump into them. Focus on gaining proximity to the rare, amazing believers who have reached their goals. Think about whatever is true, lovely and praise worthy. Dump doubt by filling up on testimonies.
Food is fuel and medicine. Dr Paul Mason, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker suggest eating protein and fat. My why is honor and care for the Temple of the Holy Spirit. I self-discipline my thoughts and deny the temptation to indulge in sweets. My healthy choices fuel my faith and joy.
Beef, bacon, eggs keep me satiated. I have a lot of energy, I’m mentally clear and physically stronger. Whole foods includes yogurt and fruit, papaya for bowel regulation. Hamburger and eggs with avocado in a bowl with a drizzle of apple cider vinegar is a power booster.
Avoiding seed oils I eat mostly at home. I drink Noni juice to help detox liver and kidneys. A super fruit proven to help detox body.
To clear brain fog, eliminate processed foods and social media doom scrolling. The battle is real, it is a war. I enroll Holy Spirit as my commanding Officer. To win, obedience is key.
Be wise and rely on the intimate, transparent relationship with God by asking for help from my ever present Holy Helper.
Self Sabotage is a form of self-hate. With a defined WHY I “GET FIT” with Jesus and my Counselor.
I cancel the voice of the Liar, the Deceiver, the Temptor. I take care of the temple of the Holy Spirit and with His Help, I regain and sustain health. God says we are ‘in Him’ and He abides in us. My body was uniquely designed to carry the weight of His glory, not the junk that is laced wuth sugar that destroys the body God made in His image.
My Teacher, Counselor, best and closest friend is who I rely on to direct my steps and convict me about taking care of my holy temple.
Intimacy with God comes when I make petitions, then listen in silence for His response. That is prayer.
Thank You Holy Spirit for never departing and for Your gentle nudges.

For years, I just gave up on trying to be fit. “Deny yourself, and allow the Spirit of God to lead.” Taking care of my temple is important to me. Study to show yourself approved! My sweet tooth was given permission to induldge at celebrations. Every 2 weeks, there is a fiesta in Mexico. How did I gain 60 pounds? Slowly, one desert at a time. My goal is to honor God and feel amazing. As an Ambassador of Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to help me choose LIFE and radiate!
Barbie, if it weren’t for you asking me to lose 50 pounds with you in the year 2019, Gary and I may have never found this lifestyle. With God’s help we are now healthy and happy! Thank you for not leaving me when I was at my lowest, falling apart. You ministered to me like no one else could have. God had prepared you ahead of time. You didn’t criticize me, you helped me and loved me. I pray I will be a godly woman like you Barbie. Xoxo Thank you for being a true friend 🥰 Lori Neighbor
