Really. I'm frustrated. All I can think about are shakes, shakes, shakes and I'm so looking forward to real lunch. I don't feel like I can see or do shakes anymore. I am not looking forward to them. I just want REAL food. The only positive thing I can think of right now is that my Starbucks cravings are gone. I'm thankful for that.
I checked my weight this morning and I was down to 175 lbs. I'm not sure if it's because of the Isagenix plan I'm on or if it's because I was bloated during a special time of the month and just lost the water weight. I guess we will see in couple of days.
I promised myself that I will give it a shot for those 30 days and I will keep my word. Right now I just don't feel like doing it.
Oh I also wanted to mention that Carl (my husband) is down 5 lbs. How unfair is that.....

Day 1 and facing the truth
This morning I took my measurements and my weight. I'm not very happy about it. Oh well....here are my stats....
Arm: 35 cm
Bust: 99 cm
Diaphragm: 83 cm
Abdomen: 104 cm
Butt: 120 cm
Thighs: 69 cm
Calf: 41 cm
Knee: 45 cm
Weight: 178 lbs
I can't wait to check them again on day 8.
Today went OK. I had a chocolate shake in the morning, followed by a cleanse and a vanilla shake for lunch. The afternoon was quite challenging and my stomach was rumbling so I had some grapes. For dinner we had Greek Chicken with Pasta and it tasted like heaven. I also worked out...woohoo....Sticking with the plan so far.

Day 0.5
Our stuff arrived this afternoon. I was surprised it came so quickly because I didn't expect it until Friday at least since it was shipped UPS ground.
I took one scoop of the cleansing powder, and totally forgot that I should only be taking a half scoop because I'm still breastfeeding. Well I'll remember tomorrow. It tasted pretty ok. For dinner I had the vanilla shake. I first thought that I grabbed a dirty glass (not that we have a bunch of dirty glasses standing around haha) but nope....this was the texture of the shake. It tasted pretty good but I didn't think that it would keep me full for rest of the day. I'm once again surprised that it did and I don't feel anything else like snacking something. Urgh talk about changing that routine.
I've been VERY thirsty after the cleansing and the shake. My water intake is pretty ok averaging about 90 oz every day but I've been drinking more. Is it's because of the cleansing?
So I now can't wait to get up in the morning and actually check my weight and take the measurements. And of course I'm looking forward to my 1st real day of the challenge.

Follow my journey.....
I'm struggling.
Before I had my daughter I weighted a normal 135 lbs. It was a perfect weight for me. I felt fit and healthy. I felt good and looked good.
When I became pregnant, I started gaining weight. Lots of it. At the end of my pregnancy, I weighted somewhat around 190 lbs. I thought the weight would come off easily because I planned on breastfeeding. Well it didn't. Postpartum depression slowly creeped in, and I had to start taking meds. Now 2 years later, I'm back at 180 lbs. I lost 20 fighting so hard for the last 2 years. This sucks. Really it does. In the last couple of weeks, I've been feeling crappy and the scale went back up to 180 lbs. Hello....I'm on Weight Watchers and YES, I do work out. Yes I do eat lots of veggies and am pretty health conscious. How in the world can I get over 20 lbs in just 3 months or so?
I decided that I needed to stop taking the meds knowing that these could be the side effects. So far I'm feeling pretty ok and the headaches that I experienced in the last weeks stayed away.
Yesterday, I met with a chiropractor who is member of one of the doula meetings I am attending. She contacted me via Facebook and offered her help after reading my complaints. Hubby and I went to meet her yesterday. After researching the web about the company she's representing, we decided to join the team. Jeez that stuff is expensive but hey, if it's what it takes for me to get healthy, I'm willing to try it. It looks like people feel great using it so why not? What else do I have to loose?
We signed up with Isagenix yesterday because we would save money this way. I'm counting the days to get my cleanser and the shakes and start the program. We totally jumped the gun with this one....Sooo UPS hurry up and deliver my stuff.
