Isagenix Day 1 Pre-cleanse

We decided to dive in and start the program today, a Friday. I was hesitant about starting it on a Friday because I usually "let go" of my strict (or not so strict) eating habits on the weekend. Now I have to suck it up and be a good girl. I figure if I'm going to spend $345 on a program I better stick with it and see what it can do for me. We took all the measurements needed to chart our progress and weighed in this morning. I was shocked. I had let myself go that much! AAUUUGGG!!! Ok I will only reveal my weight and measurements if requested. So remember to leave a comment.

Today is day one of the pre-cleanse days. There are two pre-cleanse days before you actually start cleansing. I get a shake for breakfast, a 600 calorie max lunch and another shake for dinner. This sounds like all the other "diets" I've seen and been on. It is day three when the cleansing starts and that's when the fun really begins. No food just three shakes a day, 6 snacks which are really just large wafer pills and water until I can't stand it anymore along with a fat accelerator. The shakes have the consistency of wallpaper paste but admittedly they don't taste bad. What I am allowed to eat isn't bad either. For lunch I will have 5 oz of chicken breast, 3/4 cup of organic brown rice, 14.5 oz of green beans and a salad with 6 oz of fat free Italian dressing. Not too bad. I could learn to like this.

In the 9 day (which is really 11 days) kit you get your Isagenix Isalean Shake, 1 bottle of Isagenix Natural Accelerator (for fat burning), 1 bottle of the Isagenix Snacks and two containers of Cleanse for Life drink. Also you get a mentor. Someone calls you and discusses the product, the program days and answers any and all of your questions. I got a very nice lady from Arkansas named Marg. She is my support system and I am glad to hear from someone that has been through what I am going through. Of course what program doesn't strongly suggest that you exercise? So they are suggesting a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise daily. Does laundry count?

I think if this product is different then the others it will have be in the formula they use. I like the fact that all of their ingredients are organic. I like using products that are only organic. I am a Shaklee member and for those out there who don't know what Shaklee is I advise going on the Internet and finding out. I really like their products and their Cinch shakes are a very good breakfast. But Shaklee isn't offering a cleansing product (at least not that I know of and I haven't really checked) that is boasting a weight loss side effect. So Isagenix will hopefully fit the bill.

I will keep everyone posted...going swimming for now to get my 20+ minutes of exercise. Tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga of my body melt down.

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
