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.

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
