The foot-stamping, fist waving tantrum.

The second double cleanse went without a hitch a week ago, and I sort of fell off the wagon from there. At the same time, I haven't fallen so far, so it's not all bad!

On Thursday I had a ridiculous craving for carbs after work, so had a ham and cheese roll and some pita bread that I found in the cupboard for dinner instead of my usual shake. Little did I know that would start a snowball effect that ended in me stamping my foot and waving my fists at my husband, whining and almost in tears the next evening begging for pizza.

Waking up on Friday morning, I was out of sorts - given my carb fest the night before I was all foggy and slept through my alarm. Running late, I didn't take my vitamins or have my shake or Ionix. I got eggs and toast for breakfast at work (did pretty well given we can order ANYTHING we like to be delivered and an egg and bacon muffin was calling my name), and had my usual chicken salad for lunch.

Dinner time came around and I had convinced myself (Evil Mrs P had done it, truth be told) that I was having pizza. Delish! How better to cap off the day of monstrosity than ruin it completely? Sadly, the husband did not have the same idea, and we had a standoff over how it wasn't happening that escalated quickly into me being a toddler and having a tantrum. We did end up ordering, but I had a steak and chips (of which I ate less than a third).

Saturday morning was like a hangover AGAIN. Lesson learned. Isagenix makes my body feel good. The pleasure of eating things that are not good for my body is not worth it the next day. I've spent the whole weekend trying to get that good feeling back, and I don't want to keep doing that.

Tomorrow is the beginning of my final double cleanse for the 30 days, followed by 8 days of shakes. Easy. I can do this. I just need to remember WHY, and that should do the trick. Hopefully Evil Mrs P and The Toddler can have fun playing with each other, so I don't get distracted from the big picture. Me!

  1. Yes I understand the toddler tantrum all too well :) I also interested in your journey with Isagenix as my husband was looking at starting this program last year. Good luck.
