Hey y’all! It’s Mindy here.
I wanted to hop on and share a journey I am about to embark on, starting today!
In 2024, I did my first-ever 40-day water fast, and I learned so much about myself. Today, I’m committed to doing it again. Now, before you get too alarmed, I still eat during these 40 days. For me, this “water fast” means drinking nothing but water and focusing on eating healthier foods.
Drinking only water is a hard task when you love certain beverages. Mine are coffee, sweet tea, and my V8 energy drinks! However, since the first of the year I did this, I have felt very pressed to do another water fast and bring you along on the journey with me.
Forty days is very challenging, especially when you are giving up caffeine. There will be days when I want to throw in the towel, call it quits, and grab that cup of coffee. But with everything we do, I remind myself we must depend on the One who supplies it all.
Why do it? Aside from helping me focus on my health, water is so important for weight management. A recent study found that water consumption helps increase your odds for meaningful weight loss.
Stay tuned, because I will be posting lots of information about hydration, healthy foods, my weight, and — if I am brave enough — my measurements. I will also possibly share some workout videos with my bestie.
Have you done something like this before? Do you want to try it with me? I want to hear your story!
The Skinny Clinic is not just about weight loss; it is about growing a community of like-minded people and encouraging each other.
Let the fun begin!
