Week One

   Well the first week is nearly finished.  I would love to be able to stand here (or sit as the case may be) and crow about massive changes, big loss, etc.  But I promised I would be honest.

    I have noticed that I am beginning to sleep a bit better.  My energy during the day is picking up a bit.  So, I’m content.  After only 5 days I really didn’t expect any changes, no matter how subtle, so these little things are good in my opinion.  One BIG thing I have noticed is that these products are not bothering my stomach in any way.  No heartburn, no nausea, no rumbling belly.  That is a big deal for me as I have a very sensitive belly.

    I promised to talk a bit about the products that my amazing support lady, Cynara Kleuver, recommended for me.  There are four total.

    First is Plexus Slim.  The pink drink.  It’s actually not bad tasting at all.  (I have tried any number of different ‘health’ drinks over the years most of which left me nauseated and/or nonplussed.)  

    Oh!  For the sake of transparency… I had a friend come to visit me a couple of years back who was just starting the Plexus plan.  At that time there were only a couple of products for offer and they were still pretty new.  I tried her Slim drink while she was visiting and absolutely hated the taste!  I was nervous about trying the mix again.  But!  It tastes a lot like a mild fruit drink to me!  

    The second product is Plexus BioCleanse.  This is the product that is bringing the bonus energy levels. It helps to oxygenate the body which is just good all the way around.  It works to detox your body and remove all the nasties you accumulate in life.

    The third product is Plexus ProBio.  By this time pretty much every person knows what probiotics are for. That is basically what this product is. It does some wonderful things to straighten your gut out as well as add in lovely things to help strengthen the immune system and fight off the nasties that like to invade.

    The fourth product is Plexus Nerve.  As I mentioned before, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.  The damage to the nervous system, combined with the sugar issues from earlier, have created a perfect environment for numbness in my hands and feet as well as aches and pains all around.  This product is here to help alleviate and repair some of those damages.

    This first month is going to be pretty mild in terms of changes as I am taking these products at half dosages.  I wanted to give my system time to acclimate without causing a lot of possible issues (like the upset stomach, etc.).  I’m planning on hitting them full dosage starting in another couple of weeks. Until then I’m going to continue to monitor and record any and all changes I notice.  

    That’s an unofficial thing I personally recommend. Invest in an inexpensive notebook or journal and keep track of all the things happening (or not happening) as well as the numbers on your journey.  I am keeping tabs on my weight and measurements.  Although I’ve not put them up here, at this time, further along the path to getting healthy I might just do so.  But it’s nice to have a starting reference point.  I can go back and when I’m feeling discouraged and look at all the things that are happening to help strengthen my resolve and commitment.

   So, that’s about it for the technical stuff at this point. I will continue to add information as I learn new things and any changes I note in myself.  

 Slainte!
