Hocus Pocus?

Probably.

I started this new diet or should I say cleansing yesterday. It's called Isagenix. It's quite a complicated regime. You can tell because half my kitchen table is full of it's product and instructions. This is not a lifestyle change for me but one I did my research on and it seems as though the product isn't so chemically.

I had to replace 2 of my meals with the protein shack which I'm ok on doing but normally it's not easy at the start. I don't know if my head was just into it but after 2 days it hasn't been to bad. I don't feel hungry or tired and I haven't changed my workout schedule.

I have to be on my "shake day" for at least 2 days before I can do the "cleanse day". I think I'm going to hold off and make my "cleanse day" Monday and Tuesday. These are my slow workout days and I plan to spend time over at the other office so I'm not "talked" into going out to eat with my co-workers. These days will be the hardest but looking at the instructions it's pretty packed with take this at this time. Now take this at this time. And now this. And now this. Hopefully the 2 days will go by fast. I can't do more then 2 days and no more then 3 weeks in a row. I'm going to max that sucker out!

Thanksgiving will be the challenge. We'll see how I manage that weekend with family.

The reason why I'm doing this is not only for the weight loss but also for the re-boost in energy. I've been so physically and emotionally down that reaching my goal of Tahoe seems like a feat. It feels like I'm on this domino effect. Emotionally I'm depressed so I become lazy and physically get unfit. Everything sets me off emotionally and I have become unconfident in myself. Everything in my life suffers.

That's where I'm at and this is what I'm trying to correct. Don't get me wrong this cleansing is not going to be the miracle to snap me out of it. That is going to be a process. What I'm hoping for is a trickle effect. Loss weight. Increase energy. Training starts to become a bit more tollerable. Confidence goes up. Emotionally and physically I feel better myself. Like those long training days I had when I could knock out a 100 miles and then go for a easy 6 mile run. Oh those were the days. :)
