You could be just starting out, struggling or contemplating, but there’s one thing I know for sure! There are many of you who may not be where I am. Love me some Saucs! Women’s Saucony Ride 8 GTX! ![]() I made so much progress in 2015 – so I refuse to let that progress get derailed just because of Christmas! I had my best run yet on New Year’s Eve!Īnd I got my GORE® TEX runners! I will not let the winter get me down! My feet will stay dry and warm! Now, just because the holidays happened that’s no reason to lose momentum. Soup! With the cold weather upon us, I discovered the wonders of the Wild Mushroom IsaLean Soup! I made mine with some unsweetened organic almond milk and a couple of tablespoons of plain greek yogurt and it was a surprisingly hearty and filling cream of mushroom soup! I also topped it with a couple of teaspoons of IsaCrunch! So good! *I substituted Mad Mexican Chunky Guacamole as I didn’t have any hummus* Found it on the MyFitnessPal Blog: Sweet Potato Turkey Sandwich Thought I’d try this as my sandwich for lunch over the holidays. I dragged the Pampered Pooch out for the first real snowfall of winter – he was not impressed! But it reminded me of growing up in Ottawa. And the cleanse days practically eradicate junk food cravings – or at least they did for me. This is big for those of us who have suffered from food addiction. It may sound flowery, but it’s a game changer when you can think before you eat. I have benefitted from using my cleanse days to be mindful about hunger and to meditate on my relationship with food. The 2-day deep cleanses make you feel fantastic especially on day 2!! But they aren’t always easy and depending on where you’re coming from, they can by psychologically quite difficult. Cleanse for Life, Ionix Supreme and Isagenix Coffee nourish the body and provide you with support while fasting. In my opinion, Isagenix products offer additional benefits other than just caloric restriction on cleanse days. ![]() I’m posting a very interesting Tedx Talk I saw on the subject (not Isagenix related): Why fasting bolsters brain power: Mark Mattson at TEDxJohnsHopkinsUniversityĬleansing with Isagenix is a form of intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting has been a game changer for me and I don’t anticipate that I’ll give it up completely – even after I reach my weight loss goal (and I’m not too far off)! I have also lost 9.5″ in that same span of time, so it’s not overly detrimental, but not the results I’m looking for. *Full Disclosure: Since I started using AMPED Power, which is a creatine supplement, I’ve gained 4.8lbs! (I’m currently cleansing, thus water loading so that weight figure may not be accurate) I believe this to be increased muscle mass and water retention due to the supplement (and a little holiday overindulgence to boot) – so, I’m going off of it for a bit and when I reintroduce it, I’ll lessen the amount that I use to about half (and won’t use it as often as I had been). ![]() Personally, I’m committed to continuing on my journey of health and wellness and observing Global Cleanse Day as a way to stay on track and renew my daily commitment to myself and all I’ve accomplished in 2015. I don’t really subscribe to “New Year’s Resolutions”, as they inevitably become temporary, but January is a time to start fresh. Many will have started this year resolved to make changes, lose weight, eat clean, be healthy – as we often do at this time of year – and I’m no different. I also use it for the Bedtime Belly Buster or BBB!) (I love this stuff on it’s own or added to my shake. (Too cold to run outside, so I caved and went with the treadmill! I even surprised myself!) It was a whirlwind and I learned so much and received so much support and love, I am forever grateful for the opportunity! Sweat Equityīack home, and back to the grind! Had my best run yet! Woot! ![]() Non-Scale Victory: Picked up some Isa-Gear in size small! Was fortunate enough to run into this great lady, friend, and current Isabody Finalist….Īnd the 2014 Isabody Challenge Grand Prize Winner!Īnd I can’t forget to mention my night out on the town with my new friends, fellow & future 100lb-Club members… Got to meet some of the Isabody Family face-to-face! Love them! Such a great Mission that has given me focus and driven me to achieve my goals over the last year and continues to do so! I got to the Dallas Convention Centre not knowing what to expect…īut I had nothing to fear. The staff were great! It was a great time! Had a wonderful view of the skyline at Sheraton Dallas Hotel! After the rush, whirlwind and exhilaration of an Honorable Mention for my second Isabody Challenge, I left on a jetplane to Dallas for NYKO!
