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 ...

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. ...

The Walking Dead is BACK!

I am a HUGE fan of the Walking Dead. I've seen every episode since the beginning. This season I was glad to see a little more about Michonne. They allowed us to see her past and making her a solid addition to the cast. This is something they did with most of the cast already. I admire this character because she has learned how to cope in this new Dead world and survive. In this episode we've learned of her son and her lover. I will admit that I wasn't able to gather the two guys at the table were her first zombies but I slowly got it as the dream turned.  Moving on...  I love movies and T.V. shows with strong female characters. Go Woman Power! I also think using the sword is awesome and reminds me of the movie Kill Bill with Uma Thurman. Another strong leading female role. But back to the Dead.... This season started out with Rick not looking so good and Carl kinda being a shit. I have to admit I was a little lost with his behavior. But I have lea...
