Day 24

I have been good today and did not go on the scales. Only 6 more days to go, although I am going to do a second round of 30 days, but won't count it up like I did this one . So watch this space on Thursday, as I will be measuring myself and weigh in will happen. Final tally for my first try with Isagenix.

Tonight we had brown rice, chicken and I did a colourful summer vegetable mix of courgettes( zucchini ) red onions and bell peppers, a yellow, red and orange one, I cooked them all with garlic, over a high heat on the stove , so it did not take long, and was really tasty.

I am glad it is the weekend, I am ready to be in my craft room and by the pool. I need to get a tan ready for my slimmer body!!!!!!

Two of my friends have joined up to do the 30 day , so my next set of 30 will be with company, even though we are not near each other, we will be able to motivate and inspire each other on :-)

Day 23

I can't believe I am a week away from completing my first 30 days. I cheated again today and went on the scales, I obviously need reassurance!! Anyway, at 16lbs down now, more than I dreamed I would be, so totally thrilled. I will celebrate on Day 30 with a glass of wine. 

I have set up a schedule now for information evenings at my house on Isagenix and everyone is welcome. It will be the 3rd Thursday of the month, 7pm until 8pm. So if you are in the Austin area, please feel free to come on down and try some products, watch a short video and ask questions. I am so pleased with how my body is responding to this product, I am going to share.

I went onto my autoship today , in the back office area of my website, when you purchase from Isagenix, you control your orders and shipments. It is not by placing orders through me, so you will have a web site and back office. Anyway, I decided to add chocolate shake to my order, Ben is very keen to try that, and also the barbecue and the sour cream and chive whey thins. I changed my shakes to a canister, one of my cleanse for life to the liquid, and I changed the flavour of my 'scooby snacks' , I thought it would be fun to see what the difference is.

I have not exercised today, but have vacuumed the house and done lots of washing up, that must count for something. I always feel bad when I don't exercise, but some days it is harder to fit in than others.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday, last week of school next week. Yeah to that.

I bought some mugs and they came with two packets of soup, butternut squash. The mug is made from corn husk plastic, Isagenix is great at recycling. The latest box that arrived had chocolate in it, so they put them in a cool box , which was totally compostable, which is exactly what I did with it. :-)

Day 22

Good afternoon folks,

It is a bright and sunny day here, after last nights hail storm. which I must say was a humdinger. The boys thought they would run outside, as the rain is so warm, but that hail was large and vicious. My garden does not need watering today, but I did have to go and dead head a lot of plants that were ripped up by the hail.

I have decided to throw in an extra cleanse day, so i am doing that today. I like how I feel on cleanse days, and they do help me stay focused and I really do feel good on the day and after, so after so many years of not de-toxin I feel i should.

I got to share my enthusiasm today with a friend, which was wonderful, and she is excited as well. Lots of Isagenix products are right for most people, and since you can purchase a 'pak' and save some pennies or custom build to what you want, then it is GREAT to be able to share this.

I am off to deliver a present to another friend of the soup and mug, so hopefully, I am spreading my enthusiasm and people are enjoying that. It is difficult not to be excited when I can FEEL the difference, and people are starting to tell me. Yesterday I was told I look great and if I was a dog, I would have a wet nose, I looked so healthy and vibrant. What a fantastic thing to hear.

Hopefully i will catch up later, I will put another recipe on the blog later. I am also going to make the chocolate pudding recipe today, so I will let you know how that goes down at dinner time. I will post to Fb with that.

Day 21- so I missed a day again

Well I had a lovely day yesterday, as I went and had my nails done, which i had promised myself I would when I reached 14lbs loss. I realise I should not know that, as my next weigh-in day is Day 30..but..but ..I needed to get my nails done, they have never gone this long with out looking a lot better, and I KNEW I was so close, so I just had to check. and BINGO..off i trotted to the spa..

So beautiful nails I have, also fitted in a facial, eyebrow and leg wax, saves time to get it all done together- well I am telling myself that anyway..

My meal last night was a delightful fresh salad with home made bison burgers, I will post the recipe on my FB Page today, so you can all enjoy it as well. It was delicious. Such a healthy meat to eat Bison, so if you can get hold of some, it has great flavour.

I am off this morning to speak to friends about my success on Isagenix, and I am looking forward to sharing my success and looking forward to seeing many more friends feeling as alive as I do at the moment.

I might get around to posting later, but wanted to now as I had did not yesterday..so sorry.

Anyway, feeling alive and invigorated for sure. Oh and when they did my nails, they commented on how strong my nails were, and asked what I had been doing differently- they are use to my weak nails and splitting, So I shared my Isagenix daily dose of organic nutrients..

The AM/PM ageless essentials with product B- has antioxidants and Telomere support system..especially for woman, they have a  different one for Men as believe or not, men and woman are different..that is why men are from Mars and we are from Venus.

Day 19

Today was a slower day, I have felt less energetic, I actually feel like I want to cleanse, as that leaves you feeling so much better. So when my shipment arrives I will do a cleanse day :-)
The plumbing went very wrong today, so I am going to stay off the Isa Flush for a few days, because clearly I do not need them. I am hoping it is just more toxins clearing the system and not a tummy bug or anything awful.
The gazebo is finished, so I will post photo's tomorrow, lots of screws, standing on steps, ladders and fence posts to get the roof part of..but it is all done.

Dinner this evening was salmon, with spinach, carrots and broccoli with some roasted potatoes. I only had a few of them as I am sure I should not really have them in vast quantities, but the boys loved it and that is what counts, us all sitting around the table enjoying a meal.

I have tried the new fiber bars, almond and honey ones, they are delicious, I am very pleased I bought them. they will be going on my next shipment as well!! Ben is still waiting for the chocolate decadence fiber bars to arrive. I think I might have to get the chocolate shakes as well for him. He wants to try it so much.

Anyway, I am yawning, so heading to bed, speak to you all tomorrow.

11 days until I weigh again..

Day 18

Once again it is the end of the day, it has been a bust day here, but my garden is looking great!!
I have planted more tomatoes, lots of peppers, of 5 varieties, and split my ginger plant, re-potted a hydrangea and helped Allan with the new gazebo, which is still not finished..but hey ho, it should be tomorrow.

 Here are some photo from today's joy, I planted the Hydrangea in to the big clay pot, and the ginger plant you can see is now half the size it was.

 These are my bulbs coming on beautifully, they like shade, so add perfectly to this area.

 Here are my peppers, I have banana peppers, California bell peppers, jalapeno peppers , and a hot one and another that right now I can not remember, but it is a medium chili pepper.
Going to be a good year for peppers in this house, and every year from now on.

This is my planted out rosemary, not sure it is enjoying it, might have to buy some more, but i will give it some time, My tomatoes are in two tubs behind and then in the herb bed with basil behind the tubs.

So I hope with all this lifting, planting and moving I have burned calories today. Because that would be wonderful.

I can't believe I still have 12 days to go until I can officially weight myself and measure myself, right now that seems ages away. I know waiting is best, but it is hard. I am not good at waiting. more of an action girl.

I also can not wait until the next order from Isagenix arrives as it has more cleanse tea in, and I love that, and would happily have that as I go to bed, so soothing.

Yesterday I had a friend over and she kindly was sharing some great resources on where to find out about the food industry and how it is not doing all it can for us as individuals. So my FB page is starting to list some information on tha. Feel free to check that out.

I am also putting recipes up there,  which is a lot of fun. I hope you have time to go and check some of them out.

Day 17 ( I skipped a day!!)

Sorry about skipping a day, not sure how I did that re ally, had a hectic day for sure but a delightful evening with my daughter. I went over and cooked for us at her house, and we watched 'Last Vegas' very funny movie if you have not seen it.
I had another slow day body wise. It just did not want to gear up, but today has been great. So I think it was just a couple of days where my body was saying, please just rest a bit, we are trying to detoxify you!
Plumbing is all better, much relieve there I can tell you.
I walked the dogs today for about 4.5 miles which was delightful,  the day just felt more invigorating. A friend came over this morning and was sharing her knowledge on all the unnecessary toxins put in the food, and what to look out for, so I will be posting some off those regularly on my FB page
I am very intrigued about all of this since my abdominal pains and bloating has all but vanished since I have been cleansing. I will be monitoring my own body carefully and see what reactions I have as I keep on my path to slimmer, fitter Tamzin :-)

My herbs are all growing well, my peach tree is full of peaches and  the garden is looking great, so all my gardening is paying off. I of course hope very much it is burning calories and toning as well.

I did sneak on the scales this morning, let's face it we knew I would not last until day 30, and I am down another 1.5 lbs, smiling is I, slowly but surly is what I expected the final weeks to be. But relieved it is still downwards.

I am hoping to fit in a Pilates class tomorrow and a bike ride. I will let you know.

Sleep tight everyone.
