Have you ever noticed how much more ambitious, motivated and accomplished you are in the mornings? I mean, maybe it's just me, but I find that I wake up every day with a fresh new outlook - and let's quote us some Holly Hobbie here folks - "today can be the start of something good". I know, hokey, … [Read more...]
New Jeans or New Bod?
I spent the day yesterday pulling out all of our summer clothes and replacing them with winter gear. I washed all of the mittens, hats, and scarves. I had my kids try things on to see what needs to be purchased (surprisingly little despite huge growth spurts...their clothes must have been … [Read more...]
Flirting With Eating Disorders
This morning I woke up in agony. The pain from the headache actually woke me up from sleep. And it was one of those near-migraine skull pounders that throbs with every breath you take, where even the thud of your own life-giving heartbeat brings a fresh explosion of pain. With each throb I thought … [Read more...]
My Little Chocolate Nemesis
This mocking, smug little a**hole will not let me be: That's why I ate his smug little grin right off. Bet he's not feeling so sickeningly sweet anymore...but oh yes, he is...and he's calling to me. From the fridge. Must go to him. Just one little nibble. Then another. Really, it isn't too bad - … [Read more...]
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...]
Lost In Cyberspace…
So I'm told that cleansing is now in style. I mean: InStyle. That's right, go check out the March issue of InStyle Magazine with Eva Longoria on the cover (it hasn't quite hit the stands just yet, though, so don't go running out to Shopper's and Chapters and whatnot looking for it...not that I … [Read more...]
A Rather Delicate Report
Well, it's been, let's see, how many days on Isagenix now? Ummm...fifteen! Yes, 15 whole days of progressively feeling better and better, leaner and cleaner! Today I weigh 170.2, which is up a bit from my Day 10 weight, but that was immediately following two cleansing days, and my experience with … [Read more...]
Oh Yeah! My After Picture…
Sorry, I forgot to take an "after picture" when I posted my post-cleanse results. And so, without further ado: BEFORE: Here's what I notice: My skin! Look at my rosy cheeks and bright eyes in the after pic My waist is a little smaller (it must be, I lost 2+ inches off it!) as is my … [Read more...]
Isagenix after the 9 Day Cleanse
So, the results are in. At least in the short term. I REALLY enjoyed the Isagenix cleansing process and definitely feel that this is something I will incorporate into my life for the long term. Not only did I feel energized but I had a sense of clarity I don't normally have. Food and poor food … [Read more...]
Three Real Meals (And Day 10 Results)
One day. That's all I'm taking off . Today was Day Ten, as in, the first nine day cleanse period was over. 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. So I decided I would. … [Read more...]
