Well, folks, there you have it. The result of my first 30 day challenge on Isagenix. I didn't do everything perfectly, but I'm quite pleased with my results. I lost 2.5 kgs, which is about 5.5 lbs. Given that I am now only about 8 lbs above the Weight Watchers goal weight I set back … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Results

30 Day Challenge: It’s Not Magic
Many people in our society are looking for a magic pill, something they can just take and all their problems will disappear. There may be companies out there that make that kind of ridiculous claim, but Isagenix is not one of them. If you buy our products but don't make any effort to change your … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: It’s Not Magic
Summer Body Shaker with Erin!
I've come to the conclusion that Erin Postle is one of my favourite people. She's a former high school counsellor who became a weight loss coach, nearly bankrupted her family, then went on to achieve health and wealth with Isagenix. I've had the good fortune to talk with her quite a few times and I … Continue reading Summer Body Shaker with Erin!
All Things are Possible – Susan Sly on Triumphing over Multiple Sclerosis
The other day, my friend sent me an interview with a woman named Susan Sly. I loved it, and I hope you will, too. Susan is one of the highest paid women in network marketing, which means she is highly ambitious and energetic, as all successful entrepreneurs must be. A less-known fact is that she … Continue reading All Things are Possible – Susan Sly on Triumphing over Multiple Sclerosis
30 Day Challenge: Sleep
Last night I did something I haven't done in decades. I crawled into bed, read Facebook for a few minutes, turned off the light, and woke up again over eight hours later. I'd actually reset the sleep goal on my Jawbone UP from 8 hours to 7 because I had completely despaired of ever achieving … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Sleep
Fangirling over a Poet
Today I got to fangirl over a poet. I've added a link to the definition in case you were unaware that was a verb in the English language. I doubt said poet would approve, actually ... I will add that I did not squeal, scream or grab onto her leg. I had the pleasure of … Continue reading Fangirling over a Poet
30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
Well, the second cleanse day of this thirty-day challenge came and went without much fanfare. I was remarkably hungry in the morning, probably because I'm still struggling with my carbs-at-night habit, sigh. But I did OK with my Cleanse for Life and lots of water, largely thanks to my friend Sarah Khan, who has started … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One
So, it's been seven days since I started this challenge. I've had a cleanse day and a Shabbat, a kettlebell class and lots of walking. Ups and downs. First of all, a report on numbers. My weight went down fractionally, just under a kilogram (about two pounds). Clearly still in the noise. My measurements (which … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One
30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
I did it! I survived an entire day on very little more than Cleanse for Life, water and chocolate. I was not particularly hungry. I even went for an hour-long walk! For anyone who is suspicious of this cleanse as being a diuretic, a laxative or worse, I can report that I am not the … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
So, I've had the first two days of my 30 day challenge. They were both shake days, meaning that I replaced two of my meals (breakfast and lunch) with shakes. For snacks and dinner, I had nuts, fish and veggies, just as I would have on the SCD diet. I jazzed up the bland shakes … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
