The First Month
It's been a month now that I've been using Isagenix. What a journey it's been, too! I've gone from from wanting to eat dryer lint to being perfectly satisfied eating nothing at all, and I think I've hit on just about every emotion in between, too. When I started Isagenix, I was skeptical. Then I … [Read more...]

Theoretically, I was supposed to go back to shake days (i.e. two Isagenix shakes per day, and one 400-600 calorie meal). But I was sooooo looking forward to eating again.

My Gym Slave
I love my personal trainer, Shaun. She's so thoughtful and interesting; she just keeps me motivated and wanting to come back for more. Like for instance, today we were talking about dancers, and the conversation meandered over to Riverdance. I said I'd love to take my girls to it, and she mentioned … [Read more...]
