Isagenix...
I hope no one minds me using my LJ as an actual Journal. Ha! I was going to right this down in a notebook somewhere but i suppose its easier to type and... my handwriting sucks.
Yesterday was my first day on Isagenix. Its a cleaning diet thats all natural. My sister-in-law was on it... a bunch of her friends... people i work with ect. and they've all had progress on it. I figured i'd give it a try after my doctor said its not harmful. Its expensive though. I paid almost 300 bucks for it.. which makes decisions difficult.
Yesterday i started out with a shake in the morning. And let me tell ya.. it tastes HORRIBLE! I understand that its a DIET shake but theres a chemical after taste. I cant put my finger on it... but its gross and it goes RIGHT to my head. I am getting major headaches on this stuff. I had a shake for lunch and then i had a salad and a lean Cuisine for dinner. I would have enjoyed chicken more but it was already late.
Now... on the second shake i almost vomited. i was in a rush to finish it before work and i suppose the fact that its gross to me and the rushing didn't help... but i dealt with it and felt fine, though a bit sluggish, during the day. It wasn't till AFTER i eat real food that i felt ill. I got the sense of the taste stuck in my head and i almost vomited twice last night. It wasn't a good night at all. It worries me greatly because i spent so much money on this thing and i really wanted it to work like everyone else. I decided last night i couldn't do this anymore and that was that.
But now this morning... now that i'm feeling a lot better and the taste/sensation is out of my head for the time being... i think i'm going to continue on. If i barf... then i barf. I read on a few sites that headaches and vomiting are side effects that go away in a few days so i'll just have to have hope on that.
Tomorrow is my first cleaning day and maybe i'll be so hungry after the fact that i'll want tons of the stupid shake.
My Isagenix associate that i purchased it from said not to start putting fruit int he shakes for a while but i'm gonna have to disobey because i need to have another taste with it or i wont get through it.
The shakes are terrible but the Ionix Supreme is WORSE. Luckily you only have to have 2 oz. of it a day. I haven't even tasted the Cleanse stuff yet... lord help me. Today i want to go for a nice long bike ride or to the Gym to work out... Tomorrow for my Cleanse day i'll maybe catch a movie. Relax. I'm glad i have the week off when i first tried this. If i were dealing with it at work this might be scarier!
Well... i'm off to go start day 2. this should be interesting. Till later
