Day #1

Day One ....Isagenix transformation...Val transformation

Disgusted...I got on the scale first thing in the morning for the first time in 6 months or so.  I had to measure all my bumps and curves and was repulsed.  Why is it that I have allowed myself to get to this point.  Not only am I unhealthy...I am trapped in a body covered in fat and flesh.  I don't like it.

I started this day with the attitude that it's just that...A DAY.  One day at a time is how I got to where I am...one day at a time is how I'll get back to the person I've lost over the last 20 years. If I am to believe that 'I can do ALL things through Christ our Lord who strengthens me," then I have to believe that I can do this!  Shed the weight and peel back the layers to this onion that has kept me protected for all these years.  If I made it through 2012, a year from H~E~L~L, a year spent in court, a year of fighting on the FRONT LINE, then I have what it takes to conquer this demon that I hide behind...I don't know what to call the demon yet....but it's manifesting as the controlling monster that's causing me to NOT take care of my health. Maybe that demon is ME.

I woke up and drank my Ionix Supreme drink.  Got ready for work...made my shake and drank it before leaving the house with my two kiddos in tow.  It didn't taste 'yucky' and was something easy that this single mom of two could handle. 

By the time I got to the office, after my usual one hour commute, I had to pee so badly!  Not to be totally gross, but I think I went to the bathroom about 15 times!

The day was easy...Ionix Supreme...Shake/accelerator...snack bar...salad with tuna and vinaigrette...Oops, forgot my afternoon snack...Home by 5:45ish...grabbed carrots...accelerator...drank my shake on the road as I drove my son to wrestling practice....and I was done!  No more grazing or picking.  That's going to be a hard habit to break.  No more eating at 9:00pm...another bad habit. 

I was on my way to the first day of health...drinking half my body weight in water each day...staying focused...not getting OVER excited...not looking into the future...just one day...one day...one more peel off the onion.

I got this....
