BEFORE Nutritional Cleansing
Before I started on this journey of health and wellness, I would sleepwalk through my morning, barely dragging myself out of bed to get the kids off to school and wait impatiently for the cup of coffee that I thought I needed to start my day. That Tinkerbell mug was my favorite and the sentiment on the back was pretty spot on. Mornings were certainly not magical. They were exhausting and irritating and even after the "blessed" cup of coffee I would find it hard to focus and muster the energy for the tasks of the day ahead.
When I decided to do the first 30 days of nutritional cleansing and I read that it was preferable to abstain from coffee to get the best results, I was game. I was concerned mind you... for my family...and their welfare. I wasn't sure that everyone would survive if I didn't have my recommended daily dose of caffeine. But more than that I was determined. Determined to make a change for my health and not be tied to this coffee mug like it was the last lifesaver on a sinking ship. So, I gave up coffee. (insert gasp here) And I survived. More importantly, so did everyone in my family. :-)
My mornings now are so much better.... I wake up more rested and I am ready to take on the day. I continue to take my Ionix first thing in the morning and then a delicious, filling, and nutritious Isalean shake. Poor Tink has been in the cabinet for almost two months now... I have no need for her. I have more focus for the days' tasks, more determination for my workouts (which have increased quite a bit since beginning this journey), and more energy for the day than I ever had when I was practically hooked up to a coffee IV.
Before nutritional cleansing I was sleepwalking through life... thinking that I was making healthy choices... thinking I was doing the best that I could do... thinking that I couldn't combat the dreaded 4-0 - that age had taken it's toll and I just had to deal. After nutritional cleansing, I am wide awake! I feel better than I have in years, I look better than I have in a long time, I am making healthier choices - striving to do better than the best I was doing before. I am a month from turning 41 and ready to rock another year of my 40's.
I have a friend who says - "This is not a dress rehearsal!" She is so right.... we don't get another chance... another life.... another body or mind. This is the opening night - the big show.... Are you ready for it? I know that I am.
