Two more days. Two more full on cleanse days, mind you, but still just 2 more days. I will still be doing shake days for the rest of the 30 days but my cleanse days will be done. I feel great and I have really learned a lot in this short time about how I view food and how I abuse food. Don't get me … [Read more...]
OMG! I’m Going to be on TV!!!
And (below) more about the cleanse and how it's going. Okay everybody...you saw it here first! Yes, that is lil' ol' me featured in that commercial for urbanmoms.ca with freakin' DISCOVERY HEALTH CANADA! Can you imagine? I am actually feeling rather conflicted about it, truth be told. You … [Read more...]
How Do I love thee? Let Me Count the Ways…
I meant what I said in the comments of Jen's latest post today. There are SO many reasons I love food. Let me share some of them with you here: VarietyOkay, it's true. The Isagenix shakes taste good. Both the chocolate and the vanilla. But twice a day, every day? With only one "real" meal … [Read more...]
Fooooooooooooood
I look back on my posts from the last few days and hate my righteous self. The last two days have been REALLY hard. Not because I am super starving but because I just want to eat. My husband made tacos last night and the smell nearly put me over the edge. My kids had ice cream for dessert and it was … [Read more...]
Results!
Okay. So it certainly hasn't been easy, but ya sure can't complain about the results. Here's how things stand for me so far in my Isagenix cleanse journey, after 3 pre-cleanse days and 2 cleanse days: Total inches lost: 6.75 (1.5 from my waist!)Total pounds lost: 5.6 And Hubster! The Hubster ROCKS … [Read more...]
A little morsel of delight
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 … [Read more...]
Enough Already! Oh, and Cleanse Days
I was thinking the cleanse days were going to get to me but they have been a breeze compared to my daughter's pneumonia scare and, then yesterday, my car "incident". Let me elaborate. Our car is relatively new and still under warranty so that's all good. A few days ago it started making a … [Read more...]
This is Me. This is the Wall. This is Me Hitting the Wall.
Maybe it's because both my kids have been sick on and off for, oh, three solid weeks now? And maybe it's because I've caught the younger one's cold (which is bad enough for the doctor to refer her to the Children's Hospital). Or perhaps it's because I had a revolving door last night, with both my … [Read more...]
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
As my seven year-old would say. That's just how the first real cleanse day was for me. Yes...I'm just as stunned as you are to hear it! A day where you drink four glasses of cleansing juice, interspersed with special Isagenix snacks and the odd pair of almonds (yes, the massive two-almond snack is … [Read more...]
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...]
