Day 4 Cleanse Day

Well today is Day 4 and another Cleanse Day. Yesterday I felt so lethargic and hungry! I actually did end up eating something last night because I just felt so bad. I had no energy to play with Ryan or to do my 20 minutes of exercise so I am doing things a little different today.
Today has been better. I wasn't dying of starvation, but I ate a small salad for lunch after drinking my 2nd dose of cleanse for life.
So far so good on the adverse body reactions. I just had a bad feeling that I may be looking at an Alli situation, but thankfully nothing like that.
I am noticing that my post baby pooch is shrinking so that is a definite plus. It is fat burning and I know for sure that’s nothing but fat. It seems no matter how many crunches and reverse crunches I do that thing never seems to go down.
Tomorrow morning is another weigh in and measurement taking so hopefully there will be some good numbers even if I am “cheating” a little bit.

Day 3 Cleanse Day

Today is day 3 and I had to do my measurements and weigh in this morning. I lost 2 pounds since day 1. Not bad. So today I start the actual cleanse. I have already drank my cleanse for life, had my pill and had 1 of my snacks. So far so good. I'm working today so I hope nothing weird happens to my body. I only worry that I will get hungry. While I know I can eat something small if need be I really don't want to becasue I want to give this the 100% shot it deserves. So today and tomorrow no food only the cleanse for life drink, my snack tablets, my natural accelerator, and water.
I will try and post tonight after my workout.

Day 2 on Isagenix

So today is day 2 and everything is still going well. I had 1 shake for breakfast followed by a bottle of water. I have already gone grocery shopping and now I'm doing laundry. And shopping online. Yes I have a weakness for shopping.
Last week I ordered a blind for my daughter's room. Her room is the only room that gets the hot afternoon sun beaming in and no matter how many different things I have tried nothing helps to keep that room cool. So I was just browsing a website that I told her she could order some art work from and came across Thermal Foamback Roaman Shade. It claims that the insulated foam back will keep the summer heat and winter cold out and also help to cut down on the utility bills. So I read all of the reviews and all were very positive. So I figured what the hell for the price I couldn't beat it. I ordered one last weekend and it came in Friday. I must say this thing is awesome! We hung it up that night and instantly her room got darker. Yesterday was the true test and after 5 years her room was not a sweat box at 2 in the afternoon. Yay finally something that does what it says it will do. We'll see next month about the electric bill. So I ordered one for Ryan's room along with berber carpet squares which also got some great reviews. I should have all of this here by next weekend so I already have next weekends project lined up.
As for today's shopping my mother in law was so impressed with the blind that she has me ordering for all of the windows in her house! :-)

I'll give the review of the squares next week after I get them laid.

Day 1 Coming to an End

For the most part I felt ok today. I did realize that I typically snack during the day a lot more than I thought I did. I have been a little hungry, but I figure that will pass as my body adjusts to not being able to eat off and on all day.
Tomorrow is day 2 of the pre cleanse hopefully it will go just as well or a little better than today did.

Day 1 on Isagenix

Well today is my first day on the 9 day cleanse. It is 10:15 and Ihave already had my shake, drank 1-1/2 bottles of water, did 45 minutes of exercise mowing the yard. So far so good. It get to have a 400-600 calorie meal for lunch and I have absolutely no idea what I am going to have!
I will try and post tonight for all of day 1's results.

First Day As a Blogger

So now I have finally decided to do this blog thing. It has been brought to my attention that since I have so many things going on in my life right now that having a blog will help me to get it all out so that hopefully I can let go of some of the stress. So I will get all of my setting things done and come back and get started.
