I woke up this morning from the most amazing night's sleep. I cannot believe how great I slept! I also woke up without a headache for the first time in a long time!
So far today I have kept to the diet! Woot! Day 2 is in the books.
For my cardio, I worked on the floor (the Montana Club, as a server) for about 5.5 hours. I figure that is about 400 extra calories burned, and will have to do for today.
As of today, I am down 2 lbs. I'm sure a good amount of that is water weight, but I feel great. No tummy pains or bloating!
Anywho, it is late, and I will update tomorrow.
I will also do that weight and measurement thing I promised ;).

Day 1
Today was my first day of Isagenixs, and I have to say, for a shake diet, I'm not that hungry. I physically miss the act of eating, but overall I feel pretty satisfied. Here is how my day looks...
Shake Day Schedule
Morning
- IsaLean Shake (meal replacement) sometime before 9am
- Blend 10oz water, ice, 2 level scoops of IsaLean shake. You can add frozen berries instead of ice, ½ banana, organic peanut butter, etc (experiment to find which combinations you like best)
Or just put 16oz water in “blender
bottle” and shake vigorously (if no blender)
Mid morning snack
(choose from the following)
- IsaDelight plus, Isagenix Snack, or IsaLean bar, Slim Cake, Fiber snack, etc
Lunch
- Healthy low glycemic and balanced 400-600 calorie meal (either lunch or dinner, supplement the other meal with an IsaLean shake)
- Fruits, vegetables, salad with lean dressing (i.e. – not ranch or caeser), whole grains, lean protein from fish or skinless chicken, fat-free or low-fat calcium rich greek yogurt (can add granola for flavor and texture)
Mid afternoon snacks
- IsaDelight plus, Isagenix Snack, or IsaLean bar, Slim Cake, Fiber snack, etc
Dinner
- IsaLean shake or sensible meal like you had for lunch (maximum of 2 shakes per day)
Clearly I'm not starving myself, which is nice. There are supplements that are added into this as well, but this is the nuts and bolts. I do 24-26 of these days a month. the other days are called Cleanse Days, and the requirements for this are a bit more strict. I will post on those when I get to one!
I will post measurements and weight as well as my goals tomorrow. With my food allergies I want to give my body a full day to lose the water weight it gained from cheating yesterday.
The Reason Why I Need to Change My Life
Background...
Over the past 10 years I had struggled continuously with severe sinus infections. I was prescribed powerful antibiotics every other month to combat this illness. Eventually the Doctors caught on, and sent me to a specialist. He took a CAT Scan, and determined that I had bone abnormalities that prevented the infection from ever being cured. He ordered up surgery to fix these problems, however my insurance company wouldn't cover his practice. I was referred to near by Missoula, and to a new Doctor.
Once I arrived at the new office, this physician showed little interest in any of my history, or the Scan results. He promptly told me that I probably was just being a hypochondriac, and got headaches. This devastated me as it undermined my entire struggle. This was 2005, and after this rude awakening I attempted for the next 9 years to deal with this on my own.
During this time frame I followed the same pattern of antibiotics every other month
until February of 2014, when I knew something needed to be done. I went to a new physician, who ordered new scan, and immediately wanted me in surgery. By March 2014, I was set to have numerous procedures done to correct this problem. The results of this surgery were life changing, but a new set of problems arose.
With the continual influx of antibiotics into my system, my digestive track was destroyed. I would be constipated for weeks. I had food allergies to nearly everything. I was gaining weight no matter what I ate, and no diet could fix it. I needed a reset.
This brings me to Isagenix. I have seen my friends all have incredible results on this product, as a means to recharge their system. I have decided to give it a go! I want to make this summer the best yet, living healthy and confidently in my skin. With this blog I will catalog my journey through a 90 Day "You Can Too" challenge that is being put on my by Isagenix team.
