I decided that I'm taking this journey with a company called
Isagenix. I love the science behind their products and that they don't use any
artificial ingredients or chemicals. In fact, the whole premise around their
systems is to detoxify so you can lose weight, have more energy, perform
better, age gracefully...all the things I'm looking to accomplish.
I received notice
yesterday that my products will arrive Tuesday. Yippee!! I'm really anxious to
start. The website gives instructions for prepping before your system arrives
(I chose the 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System that comes in the
Pacesetters Pak. For more info on products and systems go to
http://bit.ly/isaproducts). I printed out some worksheets, started making a
grocery list of healthy foods to keep in the house, and began limiting my
caffeine intake. Then I went to McDonald's for a Grilled Chicken Wrap, fries,
diet Coke (still kills me that I bother with diet soda when I'm putting all the
other crap in me), and rounded it out with a Caramel Sundae...with peanuts. Why
not? Might as well do it now while I can, right?
When you make a
decision to lose weight, do you start right then and there? Or do you pick a
start date (say, this Tuesday) and then splurge so you can go out of your old
lifestyle with a "bang"? Regardless of which you do, what is your
motivation for your choice?
*Sigh* I know I
have a lot of work to do here! It goes well beyond good nutrition and exercise.
It's my belief that many of us need to take a good hard look at what's going on
in our brains as well as into our stomachs. During this journey it's my hope to
examine why I choose to put processed garbage into me. I know last night I just
didn't feel like making anything. I wanted food quick. I wanted it now. I don't
even think I enjoyed it that much. I've heard Isagenix products help with
cravings. Fingers crossed here (and toes). I really want this. I mean, last
night's meal equals running about 9 miles. Ouch!
How do you
sabotage your efforts? Mindless munching at night? Sugary snack at 3:00
pm? Thinking a plate of nachos is a good way to reward yourself for a job well
done? Please let me know I'm not the only one with good intentions. That
proverbial path leads straight to Hell, they say. Don't want to be there alone
:)
Peace,
Susan

Please be gentle and kind. There's enough meanness in this world; I don't need it here. I plan to be honest with my accounts which means I'm leaving myself vulnerable. I expect you to respect that. Thank you.
