Another cleanse done! Number check time!

I can't believe I forgot about writing this post this morning! =(
And now I have to make this quick, so I can get my two sweet munchkins in bed. =)


I JUST finished a 2-day deep cleanse (Monday and Tuesday) with ISAGENIX and here are my results!!

I lost 3.1 lbs (went from 136.6 to 133.5, yes I did gain a little weight back since my last cleanse, but  I also had a period since then! TMI? I guess so!), and I used my body scale to take some measurements!

Fat Percentage went from 29.2 to 28.6 (IN TWO DAYS)
Visceral Fat stayed at 4
BMI went from 22.2 to 21.8
Muscle Percentage went from 29.8 to 30.6

VERY INTERESTING AND AWESOME!!
It will be awesome once I can get my F% to <25!! Hopefully soon. =)

Alright friends! I've got to snuggle my babies. Much love!

Here's to YOUR Long, Lean Life!

Another week, Another Cleanse!

 A group of teammates from my coach's cleanse support group started their 2-day cleanse yesterday!! I am starting TODAY! (Yes, I am a day behind, but I spent the day with my husband yesterday and cleansing is easier when he's at work.)

Before we move on, click the FOLLOW button right over there. -->
Thanks! ;)

So this morning is the beginning of my 2-day, deep cleanse.
Last time I did this, I lost 4 lbs and 4.75 inches.

This time, I thought I would keep track of my body fat percentages, visceral fat, bmi, and muscle.
I'm going to report my loss on WEDNESDAY MORNING!! So come back and see what two days of Isagenix can do! See you then! =)





(No body images today! I know, I know. I'll share some SOON!! For now, I'll share a couple pictures of me and my kiddos!!)

My Most Recent Cleanse Results

Last week, I participated in a group 2-day Deep Cleanse!

My friend Mickale was doing her first 2-day since having her baby, she had just stopped nursing her little guy at 13 months, so she was READY TO GO!!! A good number of us decided to rally with her and git-r-done!

She and a few others started their pre-cleanse on Tuesday, but I didn't know about it until Wednesday night, so I just started point on with them for cleanse days on Thursday and Friday.

Our results as a group effort made it so much easier! We had each others' support and it made a difference.

Some women only decided to do one cleanse day, some decided to do both, some had weak moments and gave into some cravings, and some did not, but no results were disappointing! Isagenix isn't meant to be treated like a "IF YOU CHEAT, YOU FAIL!!!" sort of system.
Isagenix is FLEXIBLE! It's meant to go along with YOUR lifestyle, not the other way around.
I'm not going to share anyone's individual results (except mine), but I will say that in these 2-4 days, the women in our cleanse group lost between 2-8 lbs and 4-13 inches! Just a reminder, 13" is over a foot long!!

Can you imagine losing 8 lbs and 13 inches in just four days? Well, it happens pretty often in "Isagenix world!"
This is an Isagenix 9-day Cleanse and Fat Burning System! LOVE IT!!!

My own results, jumping right into a 2-day cleanse, were pretty good! I lost 4 lbs and 4.75 inches! I am pretty happy about it.

In the last few months, I have passed my original goal of getting down to 135 lbs (I am down to 134! Yes, I was 138 when I started. I had a bad weekend of hardly any self-control!) so I have made a new goal!
My next goal is to change my body composition. That means I am going to get my body-fat-percentage and all the fun stuff along with it and morph it! My new goal is 130 lbs, but I want to lost more than just 5 lbs of fat. I want to lose 10 lbs of fat and gain 5 lbs of muscle!

This means that I have to take it up a notch and start using weights, build my endurance, and lean up! Isagenix IsaLean Shakes will help me gain lean muscle and burn fat with exercise, so this is definitely achievable!

No more squishiness for me. ;)
I'll be cleansing again this Thursday and Friday! Who's with me?

GMO's and the food you put in your mouth... And your families mouths...

First, I want you to think about what "genetically modified" means....

It is taking the DNA from something (like from a pig, or a plant, a bacteria, virus, etc.) and combining it with the DNA of something like (like corn plants, tomatoes, beets, etc.).

This is what big companies like Monsato are doing to your food. Sure, they claim they want to provide MORE nutrients, BETTER nutrients. But what have they done? Definitely NOT that!!

GMO's have triggered more diseases, caused more food allergies, made more people sick than food has ever done before! (Well, I guess if you go ahead and think about the 1400's and bad crops, but hey...)

(about the above picture... if you're putting -whatever-that-is- in our food THAT WE EAT, why do you have to wear a hazmat suit to protect yourself from it??? just a thought...)

Next, I want you to watch the video in this link. Really pay attention to what's being said.
Mind you, this is a 14 year old girl vs. a grown man in this debate, so don't just side with someone because you feel obligated (choosing the girl because she is young and the guy is just a "big bully" -- or choosing the man because he has years of experience and knowledge so the girl must be wrong).

Now I want to bring up ISAGENIX!!! (Of course, (; that's what this blog is about!)

Isagenix uses NON-GMO crops in all their products. Not only that, they use whey from free-range cows in New Zealand who eat NON-GMO grass! They're not pumped full of (excuse the term) CRAP because "it could be better for you" or "it makes the cows produce more milk."

I like my milk au natural, sir! I like my crops to be contaminated with good ol' mother nature, and that's all, ma'am! None of this bacteria-DNA or anti-pesticide junk. What is that going to do to my body??? Yuuuucccckkkkk!!!!!

Back to Isagenix... It's good for you, good for your KIDS, heck... good for your dog!! I know of a lot of people who gave their pets Vanilla IsaLean shakes and their pets are healthier than ever!! Also, pregnant women, (uh, hello?! I ate Isagenix food when I was preggo with my 2nd baby and he was the healthiest little man!!) HERE ARE YOUR NUTRIENTS!!! (There is a book about this!)

Isagenix is a nutritional cleansing program, made to help YOUR body get rid of nasty toxins from the inside out! Guess where those toxins like to hang out most of the time... Your FAT!! (Notice, I didn't say "you're fat!") Your fat cells are most toxic places in your body. Isagenix helps clear out the junk, not only there, but all of your organs! This makes your liver smile, your heart grin, and your bowels do a happy dance! (FYI- Isa is NOT a colon cleanse, but there happen to be a ton of toxins that like to chill in your intestines, just sayin...)

So here are your benefits of nutritional and cellular cleansing with Isagenix:
  • Boost your energy
  • Promote and grow lean body mass
  • Safely lose weight
  • Fill your body with nutrient rich foods
  • Make awesome friends through network marketing *wink*
  • Share your newfound awesomeness with the world
  • Profit (health-wise and in your pocketbook)

My husband and I are healthier than we've been in YEARS!!!
And we're continuing to improve our bodies and minds with the help of Isagenix.
It's worth it!
We're looking forward to our Long, Lean Life!!

Lastly, I want to ask this question.

Who's next?

Here's to YOUR Long, Lean Life!!

So. Not to make this awkward, but I'm still not sure what I'm doing here!! Blogging is a previously attempted and failed  new concept for me!

Any who. I am Cathy! I am a wife, a mom, homeschooling circus master mom, and an independent Isagenix consultant (which is why I'm creating this separate blog!). Bare (bear?) with me...

I joined Isagenix in July 2011 and I LOVE IT!! I am in love with the company, the products, and especially the results!

The first time I used Isagenix, I was not great with exercise. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm still not great! I'm lazy by tiredness, if anything. But still. My first time with Isa was with a 9-day system (that really lasts 11 days). No kidding, I lost 10 lbs in those 11 days!! I was amazed. I wasn't exercising for certain reasons (that I can explain here...when I get a link to another post. ;)) so I was shocked to see the number on the scale. I continued the program and ended up losing 15 lbs and over 20 inches (that's right, 20!) off my body. WHOA! I was amazed. I was flabbergasted. I wanted to keep going! But a little pink stick with two little pink lines said, "Hey, lets not lose any more weight for the next 9 months, yeah?"

But I kept drinking the Isagenix IsaLean shakes, eating their snacks, their cookies, drinking their drinks, etc. because it was GOOD FOR ME and GREAT FOR BABY #2! Or as my husband and I affectionately called him while in utero, Baby Dos. ;)

Then, after birthing and nursing for 11 months, the day finally came when I could jump start on my deep cleansing again!! The magic number for this go 'round? 11 lbs and 13" GONE in 11 days! Like the magic potion of my dreams, the system allowed me to wear pants that didn't have a stretchy band around the waist. FFAAAAAABUUUULLLOOOUUSSSSSSS!!! Can you tell that I was excited?

So all together, my body went from 200+ lbs on the day I gave birth to Baby Dos (better now known as Mason) to 137 lbs as of two minutes ago. (I jumped on the scale for full effect! BAM!)
Here is what I want you to know:
  • Deep cleansing is NOT a colon cleanse! No pooing your pantaloons... Seriously.
  • Deep cleansing is NOT hard, but it does take some will power. YOU CAN DO IT!!
  • Isagenix is a legitimate business! Not a scam. Just an awesome company. I'll vouch for them.
  • The food is NOT expensive!! I guarantee that you're paying more for the junk you think tastes awesome but goes straight to your 'you-know-what'.
  • I'll personally coach you and help you with EVERYTHING!!! Just give me a call.
