The Art of Cuisine

So I am embarking on a very exciting journey —

Being a Single Mom and working two jobs, plus trying to do any hobbies that I want to do. Takes really good scheduling and a lot of energy most of the time I don't have time to workout as much as I want too or as much as I need too. Does this sound familar? If only there were 30 hours in a day.

I still remember “the moment.” That was a painful moment not being able to fit into my white, classy jeans. These jeans were the coolest, with diamond-studded pockets. I could put on a nice, classy sweater with them and then some low or high heels, depending on my mood. I remember the day so clearly; I was going to go to my husband's (which is my ex now) boss's dinner party, and I wanted to look especially nice. This was a big deal going to your boss's house for a party. Racing home from work that evening, I knew what I was going to wear.

Well, after trying to jump into these jeans quickly, I thought as I struggled to pull them up, “What is wrong with these pants?” Suddenly, an awful feeling came over me. They felt too tight. How could this be? Did these darn pants shrink? They were stretch jeans, and after lying on the bed and wrestling with them to get them up, after holding my breath and sucking in my stomach, I got them to zip up. After wrestling on the bed, my hair was messed up, and the jeans just looked awful. They looked painted on. I looked in terror in the mirror. I could not breathe, and the parts that were showing were not very"lady like,” if you know what I mean. I could not go out in public, showing the outline of my feminine parts and with a bulge hanging over the top of my pants from my stomach. I could not suck in my stomach while trying to sit down all night. I thought to myself, “I look like a streetwalker in these jeans.”I am so surprised that they did not rip after I tried to sit down in them. All I know is that I almost passed out from the pain from my pants being too tight around my waist when I did sit down.

I thought to myself, “Oh no! What do I do now?” Now I have to come up with a plan of attack, to get the darn, painted pants off. Fighting and messing up my hair from rolling on the bed again, I managed to get one leg out. I remember thinking to myself, that these darn pants were even tight on my ankles! After angrily tossing the streetwalker pants across the room, I just put my work pants back on and fixed my hair again, then added a nice sweater, and I was depressed that whole evening because I could not look like the “Hot, Classy Lady” he married.

What happened to my nice, thin body? Where did all these extra inches come from? That evening at the party, his boss had a scale in the bathroom. I jumped on the scale, hoping no one could hear me. What! I gained 11 pounds! I never gain weight! That was our first year of marriage, and shortly after that, I started to put two and two together. Then, after having kids, I gained 20 pounds with each child. Thank goodness, I only have two, so that was an extra 40 pounds. Yes, I was fat and happy. Well, breast-feeding helped me lose some of the baby fat, but being around a man that ate junk all the time and was as skinny as a rail, started to piss me off! He was a very thin, but a somewhat muscular man, and he could eat anything he wanted without gaining anounce. At first, I was this way, but it caught up with me.

I wanted to be that naturally thin person once again. Well,it was not easy trying to lose this weight. I remember what I did to stay naturally thin, and I ate anything I wanted, but I ate like a bird. I had ahard time eating a kid's meal. They serve way too much food on our dinner plates. Therefore, I started cutting back. I drank more water, and I watched my fat, but I did not want to cut it out totally. I increased my Omega 3 fat to help keep my skin glowing and wrinkle free, and exercised more. I then stopped drinking coffee and switched to green tea. This one was hard. I almost could not do it. Now I cannot drink coffee, because to my surprise, it does not taste good anymore. I then introduced cleansing once again into my diet. I then developed my weight loss plan that is in my book then I came in contact with the best cleansing company I have found "Isagenix".  Now I am that naturally thin person but have the healthy skin and a nice glow about me. Thanks to 8 Easy Steps to Create the Body You've Always Wanted book and Isagenix products.

It is spring time and summer is right around the corner... and so is that bathing suit. I am wanting to burn off some extra winter weight and the quickest way to do that is to do my 8 Easy Steps to Create the Body You've Always Wanted and the Isagenix 30 Day Fat Burining System. I am not just trying to sell this product or my book. I am just stating a fact. This is how I have stayed thin for years now, plus have the energy and the great health to do all that is on my to do list. So, I  am starting My 30 Day Isagenix Cleanse and my Easy Weight Loss program that is in my book which has step-by-step program with receipts. I will be bloging about it and giving details on my progress.

I can't wait and look forward to everyones reaction on how clear my faces is, how nice I look in my outfits, and people saying your never have a weight problem. Well, this is my secrete I stay on this program and look like I am 15 years younger.

Here are some tips on doing the cleanse program

You might wish to record your goals and your results in a daily journal.

If you consume unhealthy foods, today is the day to begin reducing your in take of caffeine, sugar, fatty and processed foods. Start this process by gradually cutting back on nutritionally deficient foods:

·  If you're going out to lunch with co-workers, skip the cheeseburger and enjoy a grilled chicken salad with only half the dressing you normally use.

·  Substitute green tea or water for your second cup of coffee.

·  Instead of choosing a  sugar cookie as a snack, eat a fresh pear or celery sticks with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

·  Choose whole-grain bread instead of white bread.

·  Whole-grain pasta is a delicious substitute for regular pasta.

If doing everything at once feels too overwhelming, cut back on one unhealthy food every day until you've reached your first day of the system. This gradual substitution will allow your palate and body to adapt slowly to a healthier diet, which makes it easier when it's time to begin the Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

I love the taste of these Shakes and products. Even my kid enjoy these shakes. I will have a strawberry & banana shake tomorrow morning. I can't wait.
