Isagenix Day One Recap

Yesterday (Day One) was filled with a LOT of ups and downs. While the started off as just okay, my taste buds started tingling around lunch time when I could smell all of the delicious leftovers my coworkers had brought in for lunch. It was hard with all of the tempting aromas wafting around, but I stuck to it.

In the afternoon, around three o'clock, various life and work struggles resulted in a minor freak out. My job requires me to be completely flexible in the hours I work. That combined with a rigorously scheduled diet is not a perfect combo. While yesterday was alright (I worked  8-4 and was able to get home in time to make dinner around 6), I was very upset not knowing how I was going to prepare meals every day. I was also upset because I felt the need to have dinner prepared for my fiance. With his schedule (He doesn't usually get home until 10 PM) and mine, that just isn't feasible - especially if I'm going to stick to a semi-normal sleep schedule.

After a fit of screaming and crying, Brien assured me that he doesn't need me to prepare his meals for him; he is a chef after all. My schedule for next week leaves me with exceptionally long work days on Monday and Tuesday. To help me stick to my diet, Brien has agreed to help me shop for, prepare, and cook meals that I can take to work with me. Thank God for him. Sometimes this man drives me crazy. But every once in a while he really pulls through. Many times I'm still existing in the mindset where I have to do everything myself. I'm a little "Miss Independent" as my mother calls me. It's really a nice reality check when Brien assures me that we are in this together and I don't have to support myself all on my own. It's nice to have help.

Now that we've got all the emotional bullshit out of the way, let's talk about yesterday's dinner!

I was really surprised at much food I could for 400 calories. 5 oz of tilapia, pan fried with about a teaspoon of margarine, seasoned with just salt and pepper. About 7 oz of squash and zucchini prepared the same way as the tilapia. And for my starch, Harris Teeter brand Garden Vegetable Rice. 90 seconds in the microwave and you're set! And you get a whole cup of rice for 150 calories - I was shocked! It may not have been the healthiest meal. But it was FAR healthier than the things I jad been eating before starting Isagenix,

Here's to Day Two (which is going extremely well so far)!

Lots of Love,
