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.

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

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 ...

Nail Journal Update

No, my five wonderful readers, I have not forgotten about you. I went camping! Yes, yours truly went into the woods and camped. Actually I drove through the woods to a cabin. But before you say that's not real camping. Let me elaborate. It was a one room cabin, no running electricity, no running water, no restroom. See...that is camping.  And before you say "ewww" there was an outhouse down the dirt road for us to use. Now you can say ew.  Really it wasn't so bad.  We camped out in Hermit Park by Estes Park Colorado .  So we were out there for 4 nights, 5 days. That's a lot when you have to ration water, keep your own food cold in the cooler (which this wasn't too hard since there was still snow on the ground) and figure out lighting at night. Now in all fairness, the cabin had propane lighting and a stove with a heater, Not too bad.  Why am I telling you this and what does this have to do with nails? I'll tell you.  As you ...
