My IsaJourney: Day 14 - Another Cleanse Day

My morning was comical. A few weeks ago I would not have been able to laugh about it while it was happening, but today, after working my 30-day program for 13 days prior to this, I was laughing at my silliness.

I didn't pay attention this morning. It was totally my fault. I went about my normal routine of making my shake, while it was mixing, I went to check off what I had done that morning. WHOOPS. It's a cleanse day. Scratch that shake!

Now two weeks ago I would have been PO'd. I would have thrown stuff around, called my husband pissed off and told him what a stupid butthead I was. Instead, I looked at my son and said "whoops, mommy has a cleanse day today. But you can have a sip of this shake before I get it out of here." He laughed, took his sip and then I went to clean out my blender mug and mug.

I put my cleanse for life, some ice and water in my mug and went to mix it. It wouldn't mix. Two weeks ago, I would have been cursing up a storm, slamming the blender around, etc. You know, having a tantrum at an age when no one should be having a tantrum. But not today. I looked at it, took the mug part out and looked at it a little closer. Sure enough, the plastic piece that fits into the blender snapped off. Guess I washed it too hard? Who knows. So I just stirred it best I could and drank it. Cleaned out the mug and searched for my blender cup that came with it, to use for the rest of the day.

My fabulous sponsor is going to see if she can get a replacement cup for me.

I was also emailed something that a few weeks ago would have set me off, now, I just said my peace and went about the day. I'm not into petty crap. People look for every excuse when they fail at something. Instead of putting it on themselves, they blame other people. I can't be bothered with that kind of mentality. I surround myself with people who are focused, know what they want and go after it. No finger pointing.

I also don't have a "filter". I tell it like it is and if you aren't up for that, you shouldn't hang with me. Sorry. So I said my peace and left it at that. Back to my life and my health and wealth!

Cleanse day number two was a lot easier for me. My cravings for bad foods has almost totally gone away. I still have the urge for some salty stuff, like Ruffles and pretzels. But not like I use to. As I go further into my 30 days, the urges go away. I haven't needed coffee in my system either. No need for sugary drinks, either. Water is always what I have the urge to drink. And that's never been my beverage of choice! HAHA. My husband will save a ton of money on juices and sodas.

I feel "new". I've ordered some new kinds of snacks, they are called Slim Cakes. Basically they are cookies. If I like them, and the kids like them, I'll be ordering those to replace the chocolate chip cookies that are in the house - the small things I can do to start the kids on this healthier lifestyle is important. Introducing the newer snacks and dark chocolate treats, like IsaDelights Plus - it will make it a little easier to get rid of the chicken nuggets that aren't healthy for them.

I plan on using IsaCrunch to make them new chicken nuggets from scratch. If I just keep putting it in front of them, it will eventually click that "this is it, I better eat or starve". HAHA.

Living the Healthy and Wealthy life!!!

Health and wealth, my friends. It's a fantastic journey!
