Who said cars are the only ones that need a service every so hundred miles? I recently came to the conclusion that people, more importantly, bodies, need one too.
Broken Knee 😦
At the start of the year I broke my knee – not cool – with a dramatic story to follow for another time. Combine this with my increasingly hectic schedule and ambition to get my stunt accreditation … To say I am pushing limits is putting it lightly. But I’m not the only one. There are students out there studying and working around the clock, mothers taking care of families, working, giving. Entrepreneurs stretching the minutes to work, to finance a life’s work, gym junkies, junkying … And then there are our bodies who take a beating just to get us through to the next second, the next job, the next moment untill we can finally rest. In between this organised chaos, we fit in food. In my organised chaos, it’s anything I can find in those spare, fleeting, moments, and it’s definitely not always nutritious or sustainable.
One lady that relates to this and watches my daily struggle is Marie Linker. She is one woman I admire and has been my confidant through thick and thin. But, most importantly she is my style mentor. One day popping in for our bi-weekly reunion, Marie, suggested I try Isagenixs to re-tune myself. Knowing how I hate gimicks and fads, money-making schemes and anything that resembles “Amway”, Marie just said, “give it a go… It’s only 30 Days, no long-term commitment”. Not only that if you don’t see health results, you get your money back – guaranteed. Sounds good right? Feeling a little suss, I spoke to Jill at head office. She confirmed Marie’s information and so I thought why not? I’ll give it a go. But, (and there is always a but) I thought I would document my journey to see how viable it really is. Yes the success stories blow your mind; people reaching their physical peak or loosing immense amounts of weight. The question is, can I sustain this? Is this right for me and my body? Will it work with my schedule and social life? Will it conflict with my sugar condition? The proof will be in my pudding… or lack their of. So follow me as I test this out.
My measurements in the beginning and it pains me to write this (no one wants to declare their true measurements):
Bust: 87cm
Waist: 65cm
Hips: 95cm

Feelings: Deflated, craving coffee like hell. Really tired but, that could be due to struggling to fall asleep the night before. Plus side, my senses feel more alert. I’m feeling lighter and I’m not having any bloating, heaviness or discomfort I normally get when I eat. My sugar condition, which is a sugar intolerance to natural and artificial sugars is regulated, to be honest, better than normal. No migraines or pain, which is really unlike my body.
MY GOALS
Unlike most people who tend to go on Isagenixs, I don’t want to lose immense amounts of weight. I just want to get toned. I’m looking to reset my sugar levels, regulate my hormones from food and reduce my susceptibility to illness and injuries from training with my busy life. I want to return to my physical peak. To click a reset button.
Day 1, 30 Days to go!
Hopefully 30 days Later
