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 the first 2 cleanse days was that I lost a bunch, then gained back a bit. Sorta 2 steps forward, one step back progress. Still, my current weight is a whopping 6.6 pounds down from my starting weight, and that’s nothing to sneeze at. Not that I would know about sneezing. See, a lot of the teachers, kids and families at our school have been off sick. My own child’s teacher missed this entire week of school, and had been away several days per week in the preceding few weeks as well. (Actually, don’t tell anyone but I think maybe she’s pregnant…she’s recently married, and then all these sick days…maybe, maybe not, right?)
Anyway, my point is that no bug is able to touch me right now. I’ve cared for both my daughters through a rash of illness, and haven’t had a sniffle or a twinge myself. Normally the routine goes like this: daughter comes home from school with some bug, gets sick, Mommy takes care of her and picks up bug, Mommy gets sick. Not this time though. Not with Isagenix. And the Hubster (who lost 18 lbs in the first 10 days!) reports that there’s been a veritable epidemic at his workplace, but he hasn’t felt anything but robustly healthy for the last two weeks.
And then there’s the matter of the delicate report. I’m thrilled to notice this in myself, but, well, ah…embarrassed to report it to you. But in the interests of blog integrity and complete disclosure I feel I must elaborate. Okay. Who out there has had a kid? I mean, actually physically cooked a baby in your belly and pushed it out your ? Those of you who have will know that this experience does things to places on your body. The pressure of pregnancy and stage 2 labour can have a way of weakening blood vessels, causing them to – ahhhh – bulge.
Yes, okay, I’m talking about hemorrhoids and varicosities. And I had a few of each, which troubled me so much I even went to a doctor. "These are supposed to clear up right after pregnancy," I was told. But mine didn’t. Even after I lost 50 pounds and there was less pressure in said place, they persisted in their painful presence.
Not anymore! And that’s my rather delicate but utterly wonderful news today. After a mere 15 days on Isagenix, I am hemorrhoid and varicosity free.
And that, my friends, is worth any price, including another two days of cleansing, which I am starting today.
