Immune System and Health & Fitness Goals

My immune system is low and I find myself constantly getting sick with either a cold or some stupid sinus infection or stomach bug.  I know that I have allergies and the wind and dust out here in the AV does not help too much!  I think it is a vicious cycle.... wind=allergies=sinus infection= meds=stomach issues.    The only time I didn't get sick was when I was consistently juicing daily.  I have been lazy and stopped juicing daily and noticed the effects.  When I was juicing, I didn't need any coffee and had so much more energy.  When I stopped the juicing, i felt more fatique and needed that extra bot of coffee in the morning to get me going.

My goal: to boost my immune system, quit taking antibiotics when I get sick (potentially prevent getting sick all together) and live an over all healthier lifestyle.  There are a few ways I plan to accomplish this goal...  First off, I MUST change they way I eat!  Travis and I have been eating much healthier than we used to and now we eat junk a lot less often.  However, my downfall has always been sweets!  Those have been my biggest vice.... I love cherry pie, apple pie, brownies, cookies, cakes, sugary candies, chocolate candies, Etc.  If someone were to ask me what my biggest vice is: SWEETS and SUGAR would be the answer definitely!  So, the first step is to cut out all the sweets.  Secondly, I need to get enough vitamins/minerals and need to make sure my body is getting these, absorbing them and in conjunction with eating right I should start to feel better too. 

That brings me to my next goal/topic which is a program called IsAgenix!  A couple of my friends have started using IsAgenix products and have had amazing results.  So, I figured it wouldn't hurt me to try and the more and more that I am learning about their products, the more I have decided to do their program.  I want to lose about 30 pounds and want to have better lean muscle, better skin elasticity a better immune system too!  And with Isagenix, it seems it will help me in all of those areas.  I have spoken with an Isagenix cleansing coach and should be getting my product today!  So most likely, I will start the program either tomorrow or Friday if it all works out.  My coach explained to me that the first 40 days of the program you do the regular shake days where you have a shake for breakfast and a shake for dinner and eat a lunch between 400-600 calories.  You have five shake days and then you have two cleanse days!  According to the info, the cleanse days are where you really start to see results and feel different. 

I am really excited to get started and begin seeing terrific results.  I will be blogging about the first 40 days of my IsAgenix program....and I will continue to blog about the program after the first 40 days as I will either do another 5 day shake/2 day cleanse routine for 30 days... or maintenance where you do one shake per day (pref dinner) and cleanse once a month! 

I will spell everything out and blog about my results, Etc. 

I am 5'10.  Today I weigh 174.4 pounds.  I wear a tight size 10 and fit very comfortably in a size 12 pair of pants.  My goal is to drop down to an 8 again and possibly a 6 if I can!  My weight goal is just to get to 150 pounds. 

I can't wait to get started!  I am super excited!  I will continue to juice and find healthy food choices, Etc.  I am looking forward to feeling better and looking healthier!!!!  :)
