Ahem, yes well, blog has been shamefully neglected, oops.
Didn't quite make my day by day blog of 30 days of Isagenix.
So, would I recommend Isagenix? Meh ... to tell the truth I wasn't hugely impressed. I did lose some weight (approx 2 kilos), and some girth (is that the right word? when the trainer uses the tape measure to record how many centimetres I am around neck, chest, ribs, stomach, right thigh, right calf, right bicep), but I did not reach my goal with my stomach.
My stomach, it annoys me. At one point I had lost 6cm around my stomach, but then on the final weigh in/measure in last week, that had reduced to having lost 3cm. It seems to fluctuate wildly, and I wasn't doing anything different with the diet, I stuck to it to the letter. My trainer also thought the cleanse part of it would make more of a difference to my stomach than it did.
Plus, having shakes two times a day instead of food, although I got used to it, I knew it wasn't forever, that I'd have to go back to real food at some point. I will wait and see if my weight goes back up.
But apart from the program, what I'm pleased about? 32 days alcohol free so far, and counting. Did I think I could do it? Not a chance.
Now that I know I don't have to have it to get by, I have to decide if it will form any part of my life moving into the future. That goes for caffeine too, but that's not such a big issue.
I also haven't had any tablets (ie disprin, nurofen, pill etc) since the start of the program. I'm no hero on that front though, I was lucky not to get any headaches during that time .... lol
And before anyone gets any ideas, no I'm not pregnant. Do I want to be? Yes, no, maybe ...

I was actually getting a wee bit concerned about you young Fleat. You disappeared!
Bad luck about the detox thing - but look at you! Alcohol free! Do you have any idea how well you have done to achieve that? Awesome stuff, you should be proud.
P.S. Go the blues *snicker* 1,548,445 to nil wasn't it :)
If you feel better without alcohol then I would continue without and maybe put the money that you are saving on a weekly basis towards a reward, something that you have wanted. Since having the girls I gave up any alcohol what so ever, was never a big drinker but enjoyed a drink on a social occasion. I actually don't miss it and when I do have a drink I can feel tipsy on two sips.
Suze - thanks for that, I've been a bit concerned about you too this week.
And I won't even dignify your blues comment with a comeback *sniff* :)
Snoozen - I made it to 35 days without, but have gone back to drinking some, will see how I go. Although I do like the idea of buying myself a reward! :)
