Well, folks! I did it my way, and it’s done… at least for the month of January. I started the Isagenix Pre-Cleanse on January 15th and already felt like a failure by the 16th. I scooped myself back up (or actually, scooped some more chocolate shake up into my plastic shaker) and made my own [...]

Isagenix Cleanse Days 2 – 8: Happy Medium
I’ve completed 8 days of the 9-day Isagenix cleanse, and I’m happy with my results thus far. That’s saying a lot, since I tend to have a lot of negative thoughts running around. I think the key to staying upbeat and making progress is that I modified the cleanse to meet my needs, versus modifying [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Day #1: Doubts and Challenges
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you set an ambitious goal, obstacles appear? My hurdle occurred on Day #1 of my Isagenix cleanse this month, in the form of a kid’s bean burrito. You may be thinking to yourself, “That’s not that hard to say ‘no’ to!” Unless you’re me and you haven’t [...]
Isagenix Pre Cleanse: Days Go By
Well folks, this will be short and sweet. Here’s a link to my vlog about my first two days completing the Isagenix “pre cleanse” before the 9-day cleanse. For those of you who remember the last time I did this, I just wanted to tell you– this time it’s a lot different. I’ll expound on [...]
Final Results of Cleanse!
Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world’s greatest athletes. Marshall “Major” Taylor I finally finished! The 9-day cleanse, that is. When I began the two pre-cleanse days, I was weighing in at 202.5 pounds. Two days later, I began the Isagenix 9-day program, and this is where this video recap [...]
Cleanse Day #8/ Kids and KBs
I feel great! Today has been the best day on the 9-day cleanse yet (and let’s not forget those 2 “pre-cleanse” days)! I had so much energy, it was strange. I didn’t have hunger pangs or hunger pains! I wasn’t extremely tired, and I was craving a workout. Today was family day, for sure. While [...]
Celebrating 20 lbs Lost and a Great Workout!
I woke up feeling great today! The back pain is gone, I’m looking forward to the last two Isagenix shakes I am required to take during this cleanse, and I weighed in at 196.7! Okay, some of you might be thinking, “I know men that weigh less than that!” Or maybe that’s what I think [...]
Isagenix Shake Day #6 and a Home Workout
Hey, kettlepeeps! I’ve finally gotten used to the idea that I am only eating one meal a day. If you’ve never taken “meal replacement” shakes before, imagine that you get to choose the one (sensible) meal you’re going to eat… for five days in a row. At first, I was obsessed, trying to plan the [...]
Isagenix Cleanse Day #3 and a kb Workout
Ow! Over the last two days, my lower back has been killing me! In order to get to sleep, I had to lie with my legs posted against the wall. On day three of the cleanse, I thought it would be interesting to recap my day in agenda format. 9:00 am Oops! We “slept in” [...]
Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
