Cleanse Day Round 2 – Day 1

As if today wasn’t already set out to be a difficult day…I started my morning with my PERIOD!!   And of course the isAgenix program advocates on not taking Advil!  I can’t even begin to explain how long it has been since I didn’t take any sort of pain reliever to get through the day.  I’ve experienced Continue reading →

The days are definitely getting easier, and I’m still loving the program!   I am almost done with my 9 day system.   The isAgenix 9 day program is actually a total of 11 days.  They give you enough product to actually start with two shake days prior to the first cleanse.  The two “pre-cleanse” days help to get your body ready and prepared for the actual 9 day program.   So, what that means is that I have TWO days left…both of which are cleanse days!   I can definitely say I’m counting down the days to get back on the scale and re-take my measurements!

For dinner, I tried another new carb option…LENTILS!   They were…interesting.    I can’t say I will learn to love these, but it was still a nice added change to the menu.

YUM…I added more water (12 oz.) to my chocolate shake this morning and it definitely helped!   It’s strange, the more I have the shakes the more I seem to crave them!! 

For dinner tonight I picked up fresh shrimp from the local supermarket (Wegman’s) and cooked it on the stove with lemon juice and chives!   I made brown rice and added zucchini, radishes and cabbage to my salad.   I must say, I am fully enjoying my dinner selections!  In the past, Continue reading →

It’s FRIDAY…And I got to try my very first CHOCOLATE shake for breakfast!!  Everyone on the isAgenix Facebook pages had been saying how it’s their favorite flavor, so I was very anxious to see what all the hype was about…and it’s THICK!!  I was right, I’m definitely a chocolate snob, but I still don’t hate it.   It was very similar to chocolate pudding…which I’m sure many people love!  I think next time Continue reading →

Can I just say that I am truly LOVING this program!?!  I feel GREAT, have LOTS of energy, and truly enjoy waking up and starting my day…yeah, it’s pretty GREAT!!

I received my 30 day shipment in the mail today!  I’m not sure if I mentioned but yes, once I made it through that first day I knew this was a program that I was going to continue.  I can’t wait to try the chocolate isaSnacks!, the chocolate shakes, the orange Want More Energy stick, and the list goes on!     I went a little crazy with the add-ons when I placed the order but what can I say, I’m EXCITED!!

It’s the morning, and I made it through the night…which means I completed the deep cleanse!   WHOOOOHOOOO!

I almost didn’t think I would make it around 2am when I still couldn’t fall asleep and all I felt was the churning in my stomach.  The sound echoed in my head over and over again until I finally fell asleep.  It was definitely a bit rough, but I did it!!   And actually, there is absolutely no way I can even begin to complain about it because when I stepped on the scale… Continue reading →

Cleanse Day Number 2 – I went into the office today and honestly, I thought it would be easier since I would be staying busy…BUT instead I found myself getting hungry and wishing I could just eat something, anything!  I have already started day dreaming about what I’m going to have for dinner tomorrow night.  Oh, it’s going to taste so good!!

I was still freezing today and wore extra layers to keep warm!  And I did experience the “niacin flush” again, but luckily it was at the end of the day so didn’t need to explain anything to my co-workers!

Cleanse Day Number 1  -  AGHHH!!   At least that’s how I felt the night before and probably still this morning!  It definitely wasn’t easy but it wasn’t too difficult either.

cleanse for life

The Cleanse for Life drink started off my day.  I poured out 4 oz. from my single server bottles and noticed it almost looked like soda in the glass.  It’s pretty dark compared to what I pictured in my head, and it smelled like a cross between fruit punch and cough syrup.  For those that don’t know me, I HATE fruit punch!  Continue reading →

I felt great!  I truly  couldn’t wait to get the day started!

Last night did end up to be a little difficult.  We stayed up pretty late and the longer I was up, the HUNGRIER I got!   It did however make breakfast taste even better.  It was delicious, so creamy!!  I actually scraped the blender to make sure I got every last drop…it’s that GOOD!

Snack time almost turned into a disaster.  We were out shopping when I realized it was time to have my two isaSnacks!, no problem…I planned ahead!  I grabbed the ziploc, grabbed my vanilla wafer, and within a second it was rolling on the floor!!  AGHHH!!!  Now, there is absolutely no way I would EVER eat something off the floor…I don’t even do it at my own house…but my fiance picked it up and stuck it in his pocket just in case.  Well, sure enough…I somehow rationalized it out in my head, grabbed the wafer, brushed it off, and ATE my snack!!  Oh yeah, I’m following the program, nothing is going to stop me! 

I did have a slight headache later in the day.  I’m not sure why…possibly caffine withdrawal?  I did love my coffee!  I avoided taking Advil and decided to have an isaDelight chocolate at snack time.  It is infused with green tea which has natural caffine and sure enough the pain in my head went away.   The headache might also been caused from looking at the computer screen  constantly.  I have been so excited about isAgenix and the team Facebook pages that I truly can’t stop reading and learning…and reading some more!

For dinner, I made turkey exactly the same way as the chicken from yesterday…just chives, rosemary, lemon, fresh pepper, and a dash of sea salt.   So easy and so delicious!   Of course, I also made the quinoa again too…seriously, why have I never made that before!?

Whoooohoooo!  I’m EXCITED!  I truly can’t wait to start the day and get going with the isAgenix program!!

I weighed and measured…and even took PICTURES!!  Who knows, maybe at the end of all this I won’t be beyond mortified, and I’ll actually share my results! 

I drank my water, took the accelerate capsule, and made my shake.  I decided to use the blender to mix my shake in order to really get it whipped together with a handful of ice.  Wow, was it ever THICK!  I took my first sip and it actually tasted pretty good…I like it!  It’s somewhat of a “malty” vanilla and extremely creamy.  I can do this!!  I immediately called my mom to tell and…and…she tells me she wants to join the program too!!   YEAH!   I’m so excited she is going to join me, and we will do this together!

I was able to try both snacks throughout the day.  The isaDelights and the isaSnacks, both tasted great…and my dinner tasted even better!    I made chicken with lemon juice, chives, rosemary, a dash of sea salt, and a little fresh ground pepper.   One cup of cooked quinoa…which I had never had before and must say it is delicious!   AND I had three cups of chopped salad sprinkled with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  YUMMY!!

So overall, my first day went great!!  I was able to walk over at the local park, eat delicious snacks, shakes, and dinner…and I followed every step of the program!
