Day 1 - "Shake" Day!

After talking with our sponsor and receiving some helpful tips - we couldn't wait for morning to make our first shake!
This morning Jeff made a Vanilla shake - tasted creamy, like vanilla pudding.  I did half vanilla and have chocolate!  Just as creamy and very tasty.  All we had to do was add 8oz of water and a few ice cubes - voila done!  So, not only did our shakes taste great, they were very filling as well.  Plus these shakes are full of active enzymes to help with the digestion process.  Jeff and I will be replacing two meals with shakes, drinking a minimum of eight 8oz glasses of water to flush our systems, and having one meal of the day whether it be lunch or dinner.
I read all the ingredients on the shakes and supplements that arrived with the cleanse and was very happy when I recognized everything listed.  There was not one ingredient I didn't recoginize and no artificial sweeteners or flavourings.  Most of the ingredients anyone would recoginize - the other ingredients if you have knowledge of vitamins and herbs, are easily identifialbe.
Throughout the day if we did feel hungry, we were ready with our "Isagenix Snacks" - chocolate (yes, more chocolate!) wafers you suck on to curb the hungry feeling.  And these wafers are delicious!  I also had one of my IsaDelights - was very impressed with this product as I am fan of dark chocolate.  A thin, square piece of dark chocolate infused with green tea - it was simply delightful - hence the name!  Quickly became a favourite!
Dinner then consisted of black bean quesdillas filled with veggies and a mango salsa on the side.  A normal meal for this family - very simple.  Majority of the time we will replace breakfast and lunch with a shake and have dinner with our daughters.
Speaking of our girls, Isagenix is also for children!  Hot tip told to me today - combine the vanilla shake with an orange "Want More Energy" and the girls will think they are having an Orange Julius.  Love it!!  I am also going to try some of the recipe ideas that came with our kit - such as Vanilla chai shake - hmmmm yummy!
As we begin, the objective is to cleanse the toxins, but both of us would also like to a lose a few pounds.  Isagenix will only do what our body needs - weight can be lost if needed along with cleansing.  The protein in the shakes is designed to assist with creating lean muscle and we all know muscle weighs more than fat!  Plus while you are doing the cleanse, a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise must be done daily.
As Day 1 comes to a close - Jeff and I are optimistic and looking forward to the changes ahead!  Check out our website at http://www.cleanliving2day.isagenix.com/
