Week 2 of Isagenix

Two down, two to go! This week I lost 3.6 pounds, which makes 12 pounds total! As promised, I measured and lost 16.5 inches, but that is from both weeks!

I have to say, week 2 was a piece of cake!....mmmm cake...
As far as sticking to the program, I really do think it has been fairly easy. I don't have to try anymore! It is all just coming naturally! My energy is up, I'm sleeping better, and I'm REALLY enjoying the results! I feel like a kid again! ;) One Isagenix product I really love is the Want More Energy? drink mix! Also, the Isadelight chocolates really were named appropriately! So good!

I'm noticing more and more how much better I feel overall! I signed up to run a couple of local 5Ks (Drew's Day 5K and the Dog Jog 5K, in case anyone is interested in running with me!) I ran my first real 5K (because the Dirty Girl Mud Run doesn't really count) a few weeks ago, and had to walk a few times and really struggled. Of course that caused me to have a sucky time! On Wednesday night, I went to the park and decided to try that loop again. This time I ran the entire way, felt strong, and cut over 2 minutes off of my original time! I still haven't developed this love for running like people tell me I will. I'm starting to think they're all full of it and secretly laughing behind my back while I torture myself by wog. Death by wog!
Is that a thing?

Last weekend I stayed extremely busy during my 2 deep cleanse days! It was almost a hassle to have to stop to drink or eat and stay on schedule! This weekend I didn't have much planned, so I was a little worried about whether or not I was going to be miserable. I am being 100% honest when I say that it was just as easy as last time, and I still didn't feel hungry! On Saturday night we went out to celebrate the 23rd birthday of my best friend, Brittany! I just drank my water and enjoyed the company of my best friends! :) I must say it feels good to know that I do have some willpower after all!

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family is happy, but s

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initially rolled

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t have it. I di
