Posts Tagged ‘Master Cleanse’

So, everyday I use healthy products that help to rebuild and restore my body, hopefully so I can stay YOUNG forever!

Now that I am in my 40’s, nutrition, skincare, exercise is increasingly become important to me.

Dang!  I’m no longer a girl that can just eat, drink and be merry without the consequences.

About 8 years ago, I was introduced to a line of “nutritional cleansing” products that I frankly thought was a scam.  This was the era of the whole “fen fen” scare and rapid weight loss gimmiks and even risky weight loss diets.

So I had heard some crazy stories of quick weight loss as a side benefit of removing toxins from the body, but I thought it had to be all water weight,  a quick fix, etc….and I was highly skeptical.

But I won’t lie, I had been trying to get rid of those last 5-10 “sticky” pounds for a long time after my 3rd son was born. With my two first sons, I easily bounced back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  But after my last one, I just found it a little bit harder.

Now many thought I was crazy because “in clothes” I looked as good as I had ever looked.  But ladies, you know how you feel under those clothes sometimes and the thought of actually putting on a bikini is alarming—that’s where I was…no hiding anything in a bikini!

So I decided to try the Cleansing System, not expecting AT ALL what would happen.

In my first 9 days, I released 10 lbs., 11 inches and 2% Body Fat. Now I had been doing the “Body for Life” program and going to spin or the gym 3 to 4 times per week with NO BUDGE before that.

So it was totally the JUMP START I needed not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

You see for the first time in my life, I do believe I started to battle depression. After 9/11, I started feeling so hopeless and scared and it really affected me to a deeper level that I can’t even explain to you.  It was almost as if I lived near Ground Zero or had someone personally affected. I didn’t but I felt like I couldn’t do anything and went into really an irrational fear about my kid’s future and I just couldn’t understand how other people could just move on and start laughing again and going on with their lives when over 3000 were just wiped out in an instant.

So for the first time in my life, I began eating not so healthy things and drinking SODA (which I had really never done in the past).

I think that although I was trying to counteract it all with going to the gym, my bad eating habits and slight depression was winning–my mind was just not at all in a good place.  I wanted to make a difference somehow but I didn’t know how and I felt worthless and hopeless.

So after I was introduced to this system and got those results I mentioned above, along with feeling 18 again energy wise, some small health challenges were gone, I felt alive and excited-–I knew that God had brought me a vehicle that I could get involved in to help others who felt like me–hopeless and discouraged and just basically getting by and living a life of mediocrity.

Over the past 8 years, I have been able to help coach 100s of others to reach their ideal health, weight and even life goals!

What a blessing was in that little brown box I found on my doorstep 8 years ago!  Who knew that little box could hold such treasures!

Anyway, the idea of “cleansing” has now gained attention by the media, health professionals, athletes and celebrities after we introduced this system to others.

But this is not like the “cleanses” out there (if you want to know why or how….too much to post, you’ll have to get hold of me).

But the idea of cleansing your body is similar to the reason you go and have your oil changed in your car or you change the filters in your vacuum or heating system.

Toxins and “stuff” clogs the pipes and you need to cleanse it out every now and then.

What would happen if you didn’t get an oil change?  What would happen if you never brushed your teeth?  What would happen if you never changed the bag in your vacuum?

Catch the drift!

Now here’s the confession, I haven’t had my full “oil change” since early October. I have been so busy coaching others, doing life, cranking up my business…that I kind of put myself on the “back burner” again.

I do take these healthy products everyday for maintenance but it’s time for a full overhaul again.

So I’m on Day 1 of my 9 day system and I want to be transparent in all this.

So I’m going to update this Post during my 9 days, so if you want to follow me, just check back here.  I’m going to be as honest as I can during the journey, since it’s been a while.

It’s good for the coach to get back to the basics sometimes too so they can relate to the rest of the players!

And I may even need some encouragement along the way too, so I would love some replies below!  I thank you in advance for that.

If anyone wants to join me in the next 9 days, please let me know or if you want to get started in the near future, I’d love to help you!

DAY 1

9am – I started my day with a yummy “healthy dark chocolate” (that makes me feel like I’m cheating).  I just had my first cleanse drink (4 oz) with 8 oz. of water.  I also had a “scooby snack” (that’s what I call them).  I’m feeling way excited as I know that in the morning, I am going to have that lean and clean feeling all over again!

I weighed myself and yes…I have some “sticky” pounds to release again!  Dang!  Summer and life’s busy adventures have taken its toll on me too!  I can’t wait to feel a little more “bikini ready” as the summer is almost gone!

12Noon – I just had my 2nd cleanse drink and also a bite of Healthy chocolate.  Time is going by fast today and so far so good… my hubby called and wanted to do dinner and a movie tonight though, so movie YES–but no buttered popcorn — dang!  LOL
