I'm baaack

Hey there! :)

It's been almost 4 months since I updated this blog.
MY BAD!

My goodness, life has been very hectic.

I have made a re-commitment to myself and to my blog viewers to update my daily food diary because I SERIOUSLY want to get back to feeling and looking as good as I do -- in my opinion -- above.
I remember how GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I felt. I remember how healthy I was. I will feel that way again soon.
I have posted this pic here, on Facebook, and around my home to remind myself to keep on track.

I've started Jillian Michaels' 30-day SHRED program. It is WONDERFUL! I absolutely love it.
Friends who have it as well think it's fabulous.
I really like the fact that it's just over 20 minutes of INTENSE awesomeness!  ONLY 20 MINUTES!
Woo hoooo!

I'm a busy person with a very erratic schedule, so I really appreciate that it's such a short period of time.

I feel like a million bucks when I'm done for the day.  There are three intensity levels.
I have been doing level 1 on and off for the last couple of weeks.
HOWEVER, I'm committing since yesterday to do it every single day for the next week (until the 17th when I head to Beyond Courage, a course put on by Isagenix from the 17th-22nd.)
I know that at Beyond Courage I will be doing yoga and other physical activities, so I am not concerned about not getting a workout in.
As soon as I get back, I will get right back into the SHRED program.
I will be taking Isagenix products all throughout the five days I'm away. That makes me feel really good :) I know I will be fed well: organic, pure superfood.

I'm cleansing for two days starting today.

Here's what my day will look like today:

- 2 Natural Accelerator pills
- Women's Essentials a.m. pack
- 1 IsaSnack
- 4 oz. Cleanse For Life (shot)
- 32 oz. H2O with orange Want More Energy stick (with IsaWater, of course!)
- 1 IsaDelight chocolate (www.isadelight.com)
- 1 IsaSnack
***** 20 minute level 1 SHRED*****
- 4 oz. Cleanse For Life (shot)
- 32 oz. H20 with IsaFruits and Want More Energy
- 2 IsaDelight chocolates
- 4 oz. Cleanse For Life (shot)
- Largest size green tea at Second Cup
- 2 IsaSnacks
- Two heaping scoops of powdered Cleanse For Life, 1 scoop Ionix Supreme in hot water (DELICIOUS TEA!)

You can, of course, have all the cucumbers and celery you want, an apple, a salad with lemon juice....but I'm not even hungry!!!!! :)

Having a WHY is sooo incredibly important when on a weightloss journey, and any other for that matter.
Why do YOU want to be healthier? Why do you want to lose some pesky pounds?

I lost 61 lbs in 4 months with Isagenix because my WHY was huge: I wanted to have a baby.
Since my body was in such a healthy state after those four months from cleansing and replenishing, I was then able to conceive.  AMAZING. Totally incredible.

My new WHY for getting down to my goal weight is to feel and look as good as I did when I was at my goal weight before.
I would wake up with energy and felt like a million bucks.  Nothing held me back from leaving the house and doing what I wanted to do. My weight issues prior to that (and now to some degree) held/holds me back from doing some of the things I'd like to.  That's no way to go about life: not doing the things I want to because I let my body hold me back.
As well, Vienna is almost running now at 17 months old.  I want to have more energy to be able to keep up with her.
I want to live a long, healthy, prosperous, abundant life. THAT is my why.

So my first goal is to lose 30 lbs or more by January 15th, about two months from now.
That's soooo doable!  You'll see :)

Please feel free to comment on my posts. I'd love to hear your support and answer any questions you may have along my journey.

Much love!
