My Results with the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse

My Second Cleanse Day

Yesterday turned out to be a little harder than I thought it would. Of course, going to a Superbowl party and watching people eat sandwiches, eat chili that smelled out of this world, and snack on stuff probably didn't help. :) But I took half an organic apple and a boiled egg with me in case I *had* to have something, and ended up eating the apple during the 3rd-quarter.

It was actually yesterday evening that seemed to be the worst. I tried to figure out what I was feeling and it didn't seem like actual hunger -- it was more a feeling of being deprived. I just *wanted* something. So far actual hunger pangs have been few and far between -- which is nice!

I just had my first cleanse drink of the day and since my wife and I are both doing this we polished off the bottle of Tropical yesterday (my wife says it does taste/smell kind of like mango) so today it's on to the Berry flavored -- which is much better, I think. I'm going to change my follow-up order to Berry for the cleanse drink. I still like the Vanilla for the IsaLean Shakes, though.

During the game yesterday I briefly talked to one of my sisters about what I'm doing and mentioned the no coffee, no diet Coke part (really, no added caffeine). She said because of that she doesn't think she could do this weight-loss system. I've been told by people who have done this cleanse that afterward they dont even want caffeine. Honestly, I *like* drinking diet Coke and am NOT looking forward to not drinking it. I don't quite believe I won't even want it after this is over, but I'm willing for that to happen if it means I'm losing weight -- finally.

If there was such a thing as a straight-across trade would you trade drinking caffeine for the rest of your life in exchange for being at your normal weight for the rest of your life?

No, there isn't a magical 1-to-1 trade like that, but you have to be willing to give up something (or some things) to get to your goal. After all, it's because I didn't want to give up my desires that I ended up obese.

PS - It's not an official weigh day, but I jumped on the scales anyway just to see what's happening. But I'm not going to post it here yet. Maybe tomorrow. :)
