Let me just preface by saying that when I know something isn't going to work - I know right away. and I act on impulses - whether its life decisions, clothing buying etc....
So I did my day of Isagenix yesterday and heres what I have to say about it. I can see that this program is great for some people. People that are busy and don't mind not having a meal. This program does not work for me. Here is how my day went.
Friday night I didn't sleep at all worried about the whole not having a meal thing - I am the first to admit, its a mental thing for me. I need food you can chew - not drink.
I did the shakes yesterday and they tasted great and were filling and I was fine. I HATED not having lunch with actual food. I hated that all I could think about was dinner last night. I was having anxiety attacks and feeling weird. As soon as I packed the product all back up in the box, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It just won't work for me. My Isagenix coach says give it a few days - but I know, its not going to work for me. Good thing they have a money back guarantee. This program made me grateful for Ritas 2 week cleanse that I did in Jan - that was a cakewalk compared to me missing my meals.
I even doubted my decision a bit last night and emailed a girl at the gym "M" who is sort of going to be my new fitness/nutrition coach now that Coach Rita is gone. I told her what I had done and how I was feeling. Her response was "the best way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight is to do it right with real food. Its not a diet, its a lifestyle change. You know what to do, don't second guess yourself."
She is right. I was feeling like I was stuck in a rut and wanted some big change so I made a bad decision.
SO putting that behind me and spending the next few days really strict on Ritas plan. Then when I meet with M on Thursday we will discuss maintaining good nutrition and a new fitness plan.
So right now I"m eating my egg white and veggie omelette. A late lunch will be chicken, quinoa and chopped salad. Dinner tonight - Tom will bbq me a bunch of chicken breasts, roasted asparagus and peppers in coconut oil and mashed cauliflower (which is becoming a night time regular for me - I love it and it makes me feel like I"m eating mashed potatoes).
I know that my Isagenix coach has never had a quitter before and I'm her first and I feel bad about that, but I know myself and I have made the right decision. Sorry if I let anyone down.
