Disclosure time

I think it's time to pictures of some of the supplements I had purchased in the past, trying to feel better.  I finally took some pictures.  These pictures only show the supplements I have left and stopped taking once I decided to give Isagenix a try.  I will also post a picture of the basic Isagenix products I have been taking.  The pictures will give a pretty good story of the difference I have in my life now. There are other products that I love and do  enjoy.  I just have run out of those products and haven't used them during the last month. I can update with a new picture once I am able to purchase more products.  But the real beauty or miracle for me, is that even using just the basic products have a huge impact on my life.  I just love taking the bars along with me when I am out of the house instead of having to mess with a shake.  It makes life so much simpler. But, if I don't have bars, I can use the shakes.  If I don't have shakes I can eat a bar.  Pretty cool, if you ask me.  I love having a shake in the morning, as it is smooth and soothing to my stomach and intestines.  But I prefer a bar with a cup of coffee or tea for my lunch or dinner as I enjoy the texture of the bars and the sense of chewing.

Isagenix has these wonderful small dark chocolates that boost the energy & curb the cravings, especially when taken with a glass of water.  I must admit, I have fallen in love with them. So, when the budget allows those go on the shopping list.

I have now lost a total of 40 lbs.  I would like to lose another 30-35 lbs yet.  I know that will happen as long as I embrace my new healthy lifestyle.

Easter

Easter has come and gone.  We had some of the family favorites and I made food that I can eat.  I am really pleased as I stayed the course for the most part.  I had a shake for breakfast and had a very reasonable dinner.  I did enjoy my wine as my treat.  I am pleased to announce that I held my weight and feel great today.

A New Day

Good news!  I don't think my rash is from coffee.  I think it's from corn.  I still can't have all the coffee I want, but I think I can handle one cup a day.  At least I am going to try it and see.

Mother's Day

Today, I decided I wanted to enjoy the day with my family, along with a nice meal.  I have 3 daughters, 2 son-in-laws and 2 grandsons. 

One son-in-law couldn't make it over to our house today, but the rest of the family did. The weather was lovely, allowing us to sit outside on the deck and grill our dinner.  We had a wonderful time sharing with one another things we just never take the time to share.  We sat back and enjoyed a simple meal of grilled steaks, a nice green salad and roasted vegetables. I opted to skip on dessert so we could enjoy a glass or two of wine.

I made sure to have a shake for breakfast and was going to have one for supper, but honestly I was still full from our dinner.

Today was an easy day to follow the eating plan.  Some days are easier than others, and today I was blessed with easy.
