Isa what? Isagenix!!!

Here we go again! Another post about my journey. So I was dissapointed to see that I haven't reached lower than my five pound mark... Until I pulled out the tape measurer and remeasured myself on the twelve day mark. 10.5 inches have dissapeared off of my body!!! I LOST AN INCH AND A HALF OFF MY STOMACH!!! With no crunches or workouts. I was amazed!!! It makes me want to do more physical activity so I can lose even more!!! I am now only three inches away from my measurements I was in high school, and at this rate, I am stoked!!! I have been able to squeeze into yet more of my old clothes, which is absolutely exhilerating!!! Its been hard not eating all my favorite Winter Foods, but hey, I'm happy with my results so far so that in itself is motivation. Christmas will be interesting, but I am NOT going to compromise my new found eating habits for my old ones of junk food and sweets. Happy Holidays to all of you!!!

Isagenix Cont...

So I have now almost been doing Isagenix for one week. I have gotten through the 2 day cleanse, and am back to the dirt shakes. I have found myself not craving as much snacks and junk as I used to, and the dirt taste as well as all the other lovely flavors found in Isagenix don't phase me at all anymore. Now onto the amazingly awesome news - I FIT INTO A PAIR OF MY OLD PANTS!!! I have lost a total of about 5 pounds in one week, and although snug, I can fit into a pair of my old skinnys. (These jeans used to shudder when they saw my thighs). It was the biggest feeling of accomplishments and results that I've had in the past year!!! So cheers to this, and again, I'll keep you posted! :) Hoorah!!!

Food. I miss it.

So I am trying out the program Isagenix. It is a progam that helps you become more healthy and helps you lose weight by removing the toxins stored in fat cells. Most days of the week you replace two meals a day with a chocolate shake (ignore the 'chocolate' part - it tastes like dirt), eat one sensible meal, and take supplements that both cleanse you and give you energy. Also there is a super cleanse that you must do for two days in a row - drinking only a liquid that tastes like a skunk ran over with a lawnmower. Today is my first day of the cleanse, and it is SOOO HARD!!! I have done weight watchers, P90X, and am an expert at counting calories and calculating the nutrient content in each thing I eat, but this two day liquid fast is very difficult. I haven't been hungry all day because the program is very scientifically safe, but golly geez am I craving anything SOLID!!! Though I am struggling, it has been forcing me to really examine my relationship with food. I have found that the times today that I have been bored, I have found the urge to go to the fridge or cupboard to find something. It really surprised me!!! Also, I have been reading the book, "Women, Food, and God". Its been like a journal/bible to me getting through the new-found issues I have with food - and there are plenty!!! So, wish me luck as I continue on this tasteless journey on which I have embarked. I'll keep you posted!!!
