The final week on Isagenix was by far the easiest. I got used to drinking a lot more water, gravitated toward fruits and vegetables, craved the green 'yucky' juice, and my mind was very clear. Though I was not looking to lose weight, I lost two pounds and my muscles got more defined. There was a day during a training hike (in preparation for Mt. Whitney) that I got a terrible headache from the very start that ended with me running out of the car to puke. Not sure what happened - I can only conclude that I wasn't getting enough calories and my body just shut down.
Though I'm now not officially on The Cleanse, I still do the morning shake (it tastes good and gives me a ton a protein and two servings of fruit) and the greens. I am drinking more water these days and drinking less alcohol simply by choice. Actually dumped the rest of my wine tonight...just didn't taste the same.
I wanted to see how it would affect my performance and minus the stint on the hike, my performance is solid. My running is faster and the classes I teach are more intense.
Next steps.. research a maintenance phase to continue to add B12, protein, and all the super greens. They have an athletes pack that has many of these items.
All in all, I am pleased with how I feel and my mind feels very calm and clear.
Steady mind, strong body! Train smart
Cynthia
