That's the way we do it!

~It's nine PM and I made it through today. I have to say that the hardest part of whole nine day cleanse was when my husband came home and cooked a pizza in the oven. Hey, I love pizza. Well, I don't love it but I do like the taste! I actually had to shut the door and stuff a towel underneath to keep the fragrance away. I know there is someone laughing out there.. I get a text from my coach telling me I'm not hungry. Yeah right, have you been inside my body? Naw...I was hungry. I got a large glass of water, added a teaspoon of Want More Energy and sucked on a Isadelight. It passed.

I'm thrilled to say that my husband has ordered his Isagenix. For him, it was to build muscle, lose belly fat and gain energy. His kit should arrive tomorrow...

I have our itinerary planned for Vegas and we are bringing Iagenix with us including our blender! I will be doing two out of three meal on the plan. How hardcore is that?! Considering Las Vegas is the land of indulgence and home of the buffet!

My smile is GENUINE!

This is what look like RIGHT now!!

Day 55! Almost two months.

This is what I looked like almost two months ago!!

Choice.

As I go into Day One of my Two Day Cleanse... I have a fondness for lemons and water...

I've been eating so well this week: Salmon, Tuna, Chicken, Fish, Brown Rice, Couscous, Veggies, oils...


I feel the need to write about the word choice.


If you look for a definition, it is summed up as:

Choice consists of the mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them for action. Some simple examples include deciding whether to get up in the morning or go back to sleep, or selecting a given route for a journey. More complex examples (often decisions that affect what a person thinks or their core beliefs) include choosing a lifestyle, religious affiliation, or political position.

Most people regard having choices as a good thing, though a severely limited or artificially restricted choice can lead to discomfort with choosing and possibly, an unsatisfactory outcome. In contrast, unlimited choice may lead to confusion, regret of the alternatives not taken, and indifference in an unstructured existence; and the illusion that choosing an object or a course leads necessarily to control of that object or course can cause psychological problems.

In the last few days, its been my realization that there are people who do not choose to agree with my lifestyle choices and the evolution that I am going through. Just as they choose how to wear their hair, what religion they choose to believe in, or something as simple as deciding what they will have for dinner tonight; I am told that they do not agree with my choice.

Especially because my plan does not involve fast food, dining out three times a week, eating to excess, alcohol, etc.

"You have to eat three meals a day. You can't go a whole day without eating a meal. How come you can't come out for dinner with us? Why don't you try this (insert food here)? Why aren't you having a drink?"

At first, it made me upset and angry and then I let that go. It suddenly occurred to me that these were the same people who ate bags of chips after dinner, drank to excess, smoked, didn't eat breakfast, didn't exercise, etc.

(Hey, I've been there. I might not have been all of those people and I don't plead innocent.)

I also realized that their health was also something that they assumed would carry them through their life without investing in or any sort of energy of intervention. This made me more then anything confused.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Is it simply because we are lazy.. or want to remain ignorant....or simply don't question..


As you read this, what choices did you make consciously today?

I need your help!

Does anyone know how to embed video into my blog. I tried it once and it didn't work.. Help. I would love to try it out to see if it could enhance the blog entries.

Day Eight. Coming Around the Bend.

I work today so instead of doing my cleanse day today and tomorrow, I am on shakes and meal today. Then, cleanse the next two days.

I was hungry last night so I had an extra shake. Much better then whoofing back a whole pizza or a LARGE Dairy Milk. :-) I was tired so I went to be around 9:30 PM. Took a shot of Ionix Supreme and had wonderful sleep!
