3/18 End of day report

OK, the 9-day cleanse is really 11 days because you start off with 2 Shake Days.

So today was successful.
Isagenix shake for breakfast
Snack of raw, unsalted almonds
Lunch was black bean soup, bbq chips, applesauce and 1.5oz of dk choc peanut M&M's
Supper was Isagenix shake
Did 20 minutes on the mini-trampoline
Had 2 chocolate Isagenix snacks. Meh, not impressed. Kind of tasteless
More than eight 8oz glasses of water

Have a bit of a headache, which is par for the course for me when I do a cleanse or detox.

A new beginning - 199.4

So many of us have a lot of these. My damage since the last measurement in May of 09 is:

20 pounds gained
1.5" gained on each upper arm
2" gained on chest
4" gained on upper abs
5" gained on waist
3.5" gained on lower abs
3" gained on hips
2.5" on each thigh

It's all about HEALTH and HEALTHY ACTIVITY!
Starting today with Isagenix shakes and at least 20 minutes of exercise. I'm going to try to post at the end of each day listing my success. Failure is NOT an option! ;-)

Monsters

We had SOOOO much fun at the Lady Gaga concert!

A new kick start

Yesterday was my birthday and we ate at Maggiano's. I had the tilapia and crispy red potatoes. YUM! I didn't completely finish the monster piece of cake, but ate a good bit of it! :-)

I'm in Texas visiting my hubby this week and going to see Lady Gaga tonight with my daughter. (It's my birthday present from her!) When I get back, I'm doing a 9 day cleanse with Isogenix and getting back on track.

Last month had what appeared to be a gallbladder attack. Ultrasound showed no stones, thank GOD! But reading about the gallbladder, seems that food allergies can trigger problems, so need to start focusing better on avoiding gluten, dairy and corn.

SO, I want to get back into the habit of checking with HYC!

True confession time - 195.0

Time to be transparent and take my medicine! Back where I was 2 years ago. Sigh. 2010 was a rough year. With the prospect of moving to Texas, I did a lot of comfort eating. Bad me. Hurting my knee in Feb, then hip in July did not help much. Still battling depression some. Hate having hubby in TX with me here. So a lot of days I stay in bed well into the afternoon. (Same schedule as my kids except the days my daughter works!)

I am using NONE of this as an excuse. No one to blame but myself. I NEED to get back on track so I don't have to buy all new clothes in bigger sizes. :-P

A new business

I've decided to sign back up with Heritage Makers. They are a digital scrapbooking company. Their new program is quite awesome. Digital is the way to go now! :-) It will certainly help me get caught up with putting our family's stories into books!
My Website

I've finished physical therapy, still struggling to get back into the habit of walking. Today my heart rate was up to 175 shoveling snow, so I figured I got my aerobics in for the day! ;-)

So, how the heck is everyone????

Bad blogger!

OK, time to catch up. Here's an updated photo.

Thanks to my hip continuing to cause problems, I have totally fallen off the exercise wagon and of course, seen a weight gain. My husband's company did NOT get the contract that would have him as program manager, so I didn't have to move to San Antonio. Hubby is working in TX for a year, though and then hopefully will be able to get back here with a position in management for the same company. He now has an apartment down there and the kids and I are staying here in CO.

I've been going to physical therapy for my hip and have seen some improvement, but it is still sore most of the time.

My son just recently played King John in a local production of Robin Hood, written by one of his directors. It was quite amazing! Another director set up an audition for several of the kids in this group with a representative agency in Denver and Kendall was signed! We're all very excited about it and hope it will lead to some awesome opportunities for him.


My daughter got a job as an executive assistant for a lawyer and is really enjoying the work.

Sooooooo, that's me. Guess I need to spend several hours getting caught up with everyone's blogs! :-D
