Isagenix Day One: Noon Time Report
WOW! I cannot believe how I am feeling. My cold is still lingering, but I am feeling more energized today and I have not been hungry all morning! It is NOON and all I have had today is my accelerator capsule, my ionix supreme and my chocolate isalean shake and ONE snack! I do not feel like I am dying for something to eat and I am happy to think that this is a program I can stick with because I am already starting to feel good!!! Let's see how the rest of the day goes! Afternoons are always a lot more difficult for me for snacking.... so we will see...... I'll keep ya posted
Isagenix Day One
Last night, I got all of my "BEFORE" pictures taken and measurements. I set up all of my supplies in a convenient spot and this morning I have already started my new program and Isagenix lifestyle! I first put 1/8 teaspoon of ground sea salt under my tongue nnd drank some water and took my first accelerator capsule and drank my first 1 oz of Ionix Supreme! I still have a nasty cold so I was not able to taste the Ionix Supreme very well. However, the flavor (from what I could tell) was different than anything I have ever tasted before. It wasn't too bad though and now, my day is about to begin! I am pretty excited about this whole program and will keep you posted! :)
My starting weight is 174.8.

Ready to Begin
Tomorrow morning I will start the Isagenix program! For the next 40 days, I will be on a strict shake cleanse shake schedule. I am super excited to get started and cannot wait to start feeling better! Hopefully, I can lose all the weight I am looking to lose and can start the maintenance program after the 40 days...
Tonight, I will be going home, doing measurements, getting my products organized and making sure I am psycologically geared up to do my best and NOT cheat AT ALL!!!!! I want to follow the program very strictly and I know it is going to take a lot of will-power, but I CAN DO IT!
So for the next three days I am on shake days. On these days, I basically take a shake in the morning for breakfast after taking 1oz of the Ionix Supreme which is like a nutrition type of a drink and also is supposed to boost the metabolism. You also take an accelerator pill in the AM. And then throughout the day I take an Isagenix Snacks and a couple almonds if needed to satisfy hunger cravings. Then, at lunch I have a 600 calorie meal of my choice. Good rule of thumb here is to keep the protiens high and also have some sort of vegetable. Fish, chicken... etc.
Then until dinner I can have a couple more of the Isagenix Snacks. At dinner time, I have another shake and can have the Isagenix snacks in the evening. Keep in mind, the isgenix snacks are not actually snacks, but are all natural supplements that I can take to help curb my cravings. i also take another accelerator capsule to make sure my metabolism stays high and I must take that accelerator before 2 pm on shake days, but not with lunch!
I must also drink half of my body weight in waiter. So, that means 87 ozs of water a DAY! WOW! I must grind down sea salt and put 1/8 teaspoon on my tongue before drinking 16 oz of water. The Sea Salt helps me to get my cells into taking in the nutrients better!

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!!!! :)
