30 Day Transformation Day 2

YOU ARE EMBARKING ON A VERY EXCITING JOURNEY!

This journey will help you experience good health, youthful vitality and healthy weight loss. To help reinforce healthier habits, you may wish to write about your journey in a daily journal. Write down your dreams, hopes, challenges and record you calorie intake.  This will both encourage you and keep you honest!  Start writing Now!  Remember too that each participant in the Challenge is asked to Weight and Measure themselves each morning. If you still need a tracking chart email Gabby@CleanseMyself.com.  Then, we will be keeping a running tally of total pounds and inches released by both individuals and the group and prizes will be awarded to the those that stick to the plan and make great choices!

If, right know you know your are struggling with good choices and that you consume unhealthy foods, today is the day to begin reducing your intake of sugar, fatty, processed foods and caffeine. Start this process by gradually cutting back on nutritionally deficient foods:

  • If you’re going out to lunch with co-workers, skip the cheeseburger and enjoy a grilled chicken salad with only half the dressing you normally use.
  • Substitute green tea or water for your second cup of coffee.
  • Instead of choosing a sugar cookie as a snack, eat a fresh pear or celery sticks with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
  • Choose whole-grain bread instead of white bread.
  • Whole-grain pasta is a delicious substitute for standard pasta.

If doing everything at once feels too overwhelming, cut back on one unhealthy food every day until you’ve reached your goal. This gradual substitution will allow your palate and body to better adapt to a healthier diet, which will make it easier for for you to continue your Transformation!

Think about what you eat.  Remember the old saying, “You are what you eat!”  Well,  it’s true!  So, if you are currently facing the reality that putting unhealthy foods in your body gives you unhealthy results, today you will start doing something about it!! Today is the start of a NEW YOU for the New Year!  Today you will CONTINUE your transformation!

Watching this will help you quit some of those “Bad” foods -

Cleanse Day Support Options for Thursday:  The less snacking the better but if you have to here are a few options-

    • 1 to 2 IsaDelight Plus can be taken twice daily 30 minutes before eating Isagenix Snacks! or two hours after.
      Important: the amino acids in IsaDelight Plus encourage natural production of mood-elevating brain chemicals which can help satisfy appetite. Amino acids found in protein from foods can interfere, so IsaDelight Plus should be consumed on an empty stomach.
    • For a boost of energy or to manage blood sugar, eat ¼ apple or pear.
    • 2 Raw almonds every 2 hours taste great with the IsaSnacks.
    • Try a hard boiled egg wrapped in a letus leaf if you really feel like you ‘can’t make it
