Surpisingly, I finished the two cleanse days with little trouble. I got a bit peckish yesterday evening (especially because we were at our neighbour’s house for pizza and wine…needless to say I had neither) but I got through it. And you know what made it actually OK? This new Isagenix product Steve gave me called IsaDelight. I know, the name is totally hokey but OMG was it AMAZING. IsaDelight is a chocolate treat (and unlike the Isagenix "snacks" it actually tastes EXACTLY like dark chocolate) with just 40 calories, amino acids, minerals, and Vitamin B it is supposed to satisfy cravings and boost energy. This was my life saver. I know it sounds ridiculous but this little morsel was so yummy that it was easy to complete the second cleanse day.
So now I am back to shake days and that shake tasted mighty fine this morning. Also, I actually get one REAL MEAL today! Yes, it will be a 400-600 calorie chicken salad but hey, that’s looking pretty good right about now. So, 5 days of shakes and then 2 more cleanse days and then the rest of the month on shake days. We’ll see how it goes but once these 4 cleanse days are over the rest will be a breeze.
It has been great to have Kath to call and the support from Steve is awesome. I emailed him last night to say I was thinking about getting a chai tea latte in the morning and this was his response:
Walk away from the light. Don’t look into the light. Of course you can have a latte, and it wouldn’t devastate the cleanse. But you’re doing so well and are on such a great journey it would be a shame to cave in.
Do you think I had my latte? Nope. Just what I needed. And check out how Kath and her hubby are doing at Losing It.
Sounds like you are doing great! Good work.
Waaaah…I want some of those chocolates! Yesterday I didn’t even “veggie-cheat”, but it wasn’t that hard. And yes, the shake tastes superb this morning.
