Today is day 1 of my first cleanse day. Another one to come tomorrow before the 5 day shake days and then 2 more cleanse days. Here's my progress so far:
6:30 a.m. Drank 2 glasses of water, followed by 1 BM - due to last night's hamburger tacos. Hamburger does not agree with my stomach.
7:00 a.m. Drank the cleanse mixture followed by 1 accelerator. Not too bad of a taste, kind of like a fruit flavored Sweet Tart candy being mixed with water. Easy to drink, a little sediment left at the bottom.
7:30 a.m. Another BM due to the hamburger tacos
7:35 a.m. Feeling a little warm - not sweaty but almost like my internal furnace is heating up. Weird feeling.
7:45 a.m. Hunger pain begins. Had 1 of the chocolate "snacks". Tasted like chocolate chalk a bit. Kind of like a stale protein bar taste.
8:15 a.m. Get an e-mail from co-worker that she won't be in today. Great. Now I've got twice the amount of work to do plus I'm hoping there are not a lot of long bathroom breaks needed.
8:30 a.m. Get to work, drinking lots of water, lots of pees
9:00 a.m. Had another snack, more water, peeing about every 1/2 hour now
10:00 a.m. Another snack, more water
11:00 a.m. Another cleanse drink, not bad the second time around. Saving my 11:00 a.m. snack for later as the sheet doesn't allow another one until 2:00 p.m.
Weigh in this morning: 136 lbs I am also 5'2 to get a little perspective.
measurements:
neck 13.5
upper left arm 10.25
upper right arm 10.25
chest 37.5
diaphragm 33
waist 33.25
abdomen 37.75
buttocks 37.5
upper left thigh 20.25
upper right thigh 20.25
left calf 14
right calf 14
upper left knee 14.75
upper right knee 14.75
Really, who cares if I lose inches in my calf or knees? The only ones I care about are diaphragm, waist, abdomen and buttocks.
Busy morning so far at work. There are some dull hunger pains but nothing I can't manage by staying busy and not focusing on them.
I need to buy a Magic Bullet for my shake days. May head to Canadian Tire at lunch to get one, although my Blackberry battery is getting very low, very fast so may head home to get my charger instead and get the Bullet tomorrow.
Afternoon update to come......
Afternoon/evening update:
So, I stayed in the office for lunch. My car was blocked in and it was pouring rain so didn't feel like going anywhere. Put loads of boxes in back of van in anticipation of moving day next Friday. Finally moving into our new house. The countdown to that coincides with my cleanse countdown so I'm busy with both and, hopefully, they will both be here before I know it.
Continued drinking water and having a snack when required.
2 p.m. was another accelerator pill
3 p.m. was cleanse drink
continued with water
around 4 p.m. the hunger pains were starting to intensify. Kids wanted to go to my parent's house when I picked them up from the sitter at 4:30 so we went. There was a delicious smelling supper there...seasoned steak, baked potato with Epicure baked potato topping (heavenly), lots of snacks like chips and cheesies. And I am proud to say I DIDN'T HAVE ONE TINY BITE OF ANYTHING!!!! Even though it was sooo hard and sooo tempting. But I knew how much I paid for this product and didn't want to ruin it within the first 12 hours....so I had a small apple instead.
Then we went to the new house to visit hubby. His mother brought over a lovely delicious smelling roast beef dinner (with gravy - my fav). I had to lie and say I already ate (since hubby doesn't know about said Isagenix plan yet due to the cost as he would be totally against paying for it, I want to surprise him with the results before I tell him). I had to keep myself occupied and look away and try not to breathe in the aroma as everyone ate.
Took the kids home, gave smallest a bath as he missed it last night. While he played, I did sit-ups, lunges, squats and side leg lifts with my 6 year old daughter for about 10 minutes. She thought it was hilarious!
Had final cleanse drink at 7 p.m. and saving my last snack of the day for later. They say to go to bed early to avoid the hunger pains but I'm usually asleep before 10 p.m. anyways so it won't be too hard for me.
Also, no BM yet. I must have peed at least 30 times or more today though.
Second day tomorrow. Should be interesting!
