Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 7: Survived the Restaurant

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I had a good time at lunch but managed to avoid pigging out too much. Basically I just had some bread, a couple of small appetizer pieces, minestrone and some beer. I’m sure it was over 600 calories but probably not by too far and it was really the best I could do.
Tomorrow [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 7: Busted my Weight Plateau Again

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I weighed myself this morning and I’m down to 192-193 (really need a digital scale so I can stop splitting hairs!). That’s at least 5 pounds so far :)
Today I have a lunch appointment at a restaurant and am reminding myself to eat sensibly, though I think that may be a bit difficult.
Cleansing [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 6: Tough to Stick to It

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Today it was a little tougher to stick to the diet. I ate probably more than my fair share of almonds and was in general hungrier. For dinner I had 3/4 of one of the Amy’s Pesto Pizza. The whole line of Amy’s products is great for people who are trying to [...]

Friday, March 30th, 2007

When it comes to stubborn fat weight loss, you better have a plan. Most attempts at loosing weight, if you have been with them for sometime, eventually lead to plateau. So what do you do?

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 6: Sleepy

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Today I woke up late. I guess that was bound to happen after the staying up late and getting up early. I started the day out with some Ionix Supreme and Green Foods mixed with orange juice. That helped to wake me up.
Last night I got hungry and then realized that I [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Diet: Day 5: Had Lunch at Lunch Time Today!

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I worked at home today. Good food was easily accessible so I had chicken soup for lunch … at lunch time for a change! Unlike other days I did start to get hungry around dinner time but I think stress was a factor. Drinking the Vanilla Isalean Shake and taking the [...]

Antioxidants VS. Free Radicals

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Antioxidants are natural compounds that help protect the body from free-radical damage. They act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease. Normally, the body can handle free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if the free-radical production becomes too much for the body, [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Diet: Day 5: Waking Up Early

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I woke up early this morning, partially because the of the kids. But I couldn’t go back to sleep so here I am. Even though I’ve had no coffee or anything I don’t really feel groggy. It must have something to do with the cleansing…
Cleansing can make you feel better, get more [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 4: Headache

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I kept working until 6pm and hadn’t eaten (and also didn’t drink much water). Just wasn’t hungry for junk food on the road. That was a mistake and I ended up getting a headache. So I ate dinner and after a couple of hours felt better. Unfortunately I ended up [...]

Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse: Day 4: Odwalla Superfood Micronutrient Fruit Juice Drink

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

It’s around 3pm and I’m not very hungry but am a little. Had a shake earlier and that filled me up. I’m working at Borders (I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea Teapot Service) but didn’t feel like having a cheese and tomato sandwich, pretzel or donut (though I could probably be convinced ;) [...]
