Aloha! And a great big good morning to San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C. and Raleigh!
My first day using the Isagenix Cleanse for Life was bearable. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought I’d be… but boy, do I miss food.
I like eating. I realized today that one of the consistent sources of satisfaction in my life is a good meal. Add good company to that meal, and it’s a great day.
My family and I plan our LIVES around food. Any occasion worth celebrating is an occasion to eat something yummy. When I visit with my friends, chances are, I’m bringing food, or we’re going to eat. That’s just the way it is!
Today, I concentrated on spending time with my son and staying active. We went to the park, I did a brief workout, I gave myself a pedicure-- I tried to stay busy. Ultimately, I succumbed to sweet sleep next to my napping child. But heck, I was tired!
Here’s a quick recap of my day:
The song in the background is India.Arie’s “Strength, Courage and Wisdom,” something I hope I’m gaining over these eleven days as I shed some tears… I mean pounds.
When I reviewed the video, I started to feel a bit discouraged. And then I took a closer look at one of my before and after pics:
I can see a difference. And who knows? In 9 days from now, maybe I’ll see an even greater difference. Curiosity alone is enough to keep me motivated.
At the end of the day, I saw coffee brewing, and I had the experience of missing coffee. I can’t say I’ve missed drinking coffee, since I’ve become accustomed to having it whenever I want. I guess it is true- absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Well, tomorrow (Thursday) is my second cleanse day. On Friday, it’s back to meal replacement shakes and one luxurious meal, yahoo! I’ll need it, since I’m hitting the gym again on Friday.
Thanks for joining my journey. Feel free to comment here or on youtube! Mahalo!
Hi! My name is Adrienne! I saw that your doing the Isogenix cleanse, just like me!! Today, I’m on my 4th day (shake day) I see that your feeling tired and hungry during cleanse. Much like I did. My coach said it normal to feel tired, try to sleep as much as possible ( I know its hard, you have a little one, like me!). Apparantely, we feel tired during cleanse, b/c we are ridding our bodies of toxins. Stay strong! Good luck!
Wow! Exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks!
Adrienne! How did it go? I did sleep quite a bit, and lost 8 pounds total… but then again, I didn’t drink ENOUGH of the cleanse drink… I had a lot leftover!
