Only looking up from here!!

Cleanse days were day 3 and 4 for me. I somewhat was dreading the idea of not eating for 2 days. The truth is it was very easy to do. I was very busy both days so that helped. Day 3 of my cleanse I sat with Cory and Lane inside a Wendy's and didn't even think twice about sneaking a fry. I had no desire to put that food into my body. I had been watching videos and reading up about how healthy Isagenix is for my body. 

Day 4 of my cleanse I sat with a few of my sisters and friends at one of my favorite restaurants the Old Spaghetti Factory. I ordered a glass of ice and had my cleanse. I actually enjoy the taste of the cleanse. I did as a lot of people of FB suggested and premixed my bottles and labeled them and labeled baggies with times for my snacks as well. 

When you've lived with a chronic health condition like Crohn's or IBS, you truly appreciate every day that is a feel good day. Sitting in that restaurant I didn't even think twice about eating off of someone's plate because I didn't want to jeapordize how I had felt the previous few days. 

Mother's Day we had shish kabobs for dinner, I had my 5 ounces of steak and a lot of roasted peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. For dessert mixed berries with a little honey. What I am learning is portion size. It amazes me what I used to think a portion was compared to what I eat now and feel fully satisfied. 

I didn't list off all of my diagnosis in my earlier post but I want to now:
Hypothyroidism- Hashimotos
PCOS
Crohn's 
IBS
Migraines
Rheumatoid Athritis
Arachnoid cyst (cyst in my brain) 

I have a large basket full of medications I take as well as take on an as needed basis. I haven't taken anything for my Crohn's, IBS or migraines since starting Isagenix!!

2 days before starting I had asked my sisters who are also Chron's /IBS sufferers what else I could take because I had already taken Tums, 2 acid pills, 2 zofran, Bentyl, Reglan, drank milk and a lot of water and still was so nauseated with indigestion from eating a SALAD!!!! 

The change in my GI tract so far is amazing. Isagenix is loaded with healthy live enzymes!! Today is day 6 and I feel great and 3 days in a row I wore clothes that had previously been too snug on me!!

Here I am at day 5 of my journey!!

Why I started Isagenix

The next 2 days (fri and sat) were to be my cleanse days...

Before talking about that I want to tell you about making the decision. I was invited to a private FB group almost 2 months before and I watched and read peoples stories and progress. I was beginning to get so tired of being "uncomfortable" in my clothes. I had been bitching and moaning to my sister about having to be in her wedding! ONLY because I was so fat and dreaded wearing a bridesmaids dress. My husband and I had been trying for months to have a baby with no luck!! I knew my weight effected my PCOS and in turn effected my ability to get pregnant.   I also started to miss work, so I was losing income as well!!! 

When my friend told me the price of the first 30 days I thought YIKES!!! But then I considered the money lost from missing work sick, the strain on relationships because of my issues with not wanting to be in a bridesmaids dress and I thought of my little Lane Bug!! He needs a healthy fit mama who can and will be physically active with him. 

It also comes with a 100% guarantee that I will be satisfied! I did some math and realized yes I would be shelling out a few hundred but I will be saving a few hundred in no more fast food, Starbucks, junk food and payroll deducting all my food at work!! 

Today is day 4 of my journey and I feel amazing!!! 4 days of no gas, no bloating, no nausea and for me a long time Crohn's sufferer yesterday I had 1 bowel movement  and it was normal!!! I have suffered years and years with multiple daily bouts of diarrhea!!
