Post Christmas Shame

So my three readers are probably on the edge of their seat as to what I did with my Christmas quandary. Well, I could go off and make this last for a while stringing you along with all kinds of stories and quotes citing strength and courage to stand against the social norm but I won't take that road.

I CAVED! With my husband's complete and active support I went and spent a shit load of money on a lot more gifts. He even got me to the mall! And Cherry Creek Mall at that. I know.. I know...I was weak. I had a wonderful Christmas and got a wonderful Christmas gift from my husband. Everyone got what they wanted and I got a piece of myself stored behind a locked door in my head, shouting out "You're just weak!"

With my conscience in tow I have spent the days after Christmas in a haze of happy memories and guilty feelings. I didn't over spend, I just didn't stay in the budget I allowed. I guess that's still something.  I have to write that to make myself feel better. As the New Year quickly approaches I have been re-evaluating my resolutions. I laugh to myself in writing this because I've always considered myself a strong willed woman but in this instance I have proven myself wrong. SO I have to work at my resolve.

I still intend to keep my balance resolution I am just shifting my focus from money to health. I will now balance my eating habits and my food intake to do what everyone in the free world is resolving to do: LOSE WEIGHT. Yes I said it.

I am going back on Isagenix. With my successful weight loss last time and the fact that I have actually kept it off even during the holiday season, I am a true believer in the product. I will attempt...yes no promises...to lose 30 pounds by July 2012. This will put me at my goal weight. I make no promises because if I lose more or a pound or two less I will not pigeon hold myself to a strict deadline. Perhaps I should but that is something I will re-evaluate as I go on.

Until next year...Have a Happy Happy New Year and my all your resolutions come true!

    I just love this Huggs :) And for my resolution record...I don't mind the two pounds on each butt cheek I get every time I eat a piece of CHEESECAKE :D

Isagenix

As I was flipping though my June 2011 copy of Natural Health, I came across an advertisement for Isagenix. Isagenix is a "nutritional cleansing" product that has a side effect of weight loss. I have cleansed in the past and have usually purchased the kit from Walmart or Walgreen's for $25 bucks or so. Now I have always felt better after cleansing my system but weight loss was never a significant side effect. True, Ron White does have something when he asks in one of his shows "Have you ever taken a crap so big your pants fit better?" I hate to admit that when I feel full of myself that I am always happy to puck out $25 from my wallet and buy a cleansing kit. I have been struggling with my weight since I was in high school and have tried everything from Aerobics to Zumba to get fit along with every trendy diet; so when I heard of a cleansing product with a weight loss side effect I was very interested. I looked it up on the Internet and found on Y...

I'm Back!!! I need the therapy.

I apologize to my 5 readers that I have not been around to keep you entertained. My life has gone crazy in ways I was not prepared for. I am sure all of us out there can relate. My last blog was about my nails and though I have been keeping up with them, they have taken a back seat to my current issues.  My son has undergone open heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. He's had heart problems since he was born and we knew this day would eventually come but you are never truly prepared for the day it actually happens. My stress level has been extremely high and my hair, skin and nails have taken the brunt of my old habits.  I haven't been moisturizing my face the way I should or have been, my hair has actually started thinning out in the front and I actually talked myself into getting a new set of fake nails. Yes you read that correctly. I have spent the last year of my life dedicated to getting off fake nails and getting rid of everything in my make u...

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. ...
