Day 1 & 2 of my Isagenix Cleanse !!!

I cannot wait for summer to come, but between traveling and getting over the Holidays, I am not 100%  bikini ready yet. Two years ago I did a cleanse called Isagenix that helped me jump start my weight loss after gaining 10lbs due to stress and a move cross country , as well as motivate me to keep working hard. After my blog post a ton of people, both guys and girls, reached out to me on how they could purchase Isagenix since it is not sold in stores. At the time I had gotten it from a friend as a birthday gift but she couldn't get them anymore so I didn't have any answers. After feeling the need to do this cleanse again to prepare for a photo shoot and summer I reached out to some of my family members who just started taking this product and purchased it through them. I then went ahead and signed myself up to become an associate of the company so you can order through me directly!!!









Isagenix

Because I want to lose anywhere from 5-7 lbs I ordered the 9 Cleanse system for me, my friend Jilly and an extra one just to have. Then I ordered the 30 Day cleanse for my husband and for my Aunt because they want to lose about 15-20+ lbs.

9 Day Deep Cleansing and Fat Burning System:
The five nutritional components of the system help you cleanse while infusing your body with premium nutrients for optimum health and safe weight loss

30 Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System:
 This system is designed to gently rid the body of potentially harmful impurities, while infusing it with essential vitamins, botanicals and other natural ingredients to help shed pounds naturally without the use laxatives, stimulants or diuretics. This is for people who want to lose 15 - 40lbs in a month. 


 I love that practically my entire family is on this product and none of us knew that we had all tried it or were currently using it until recently.   My husband is starting his cleanse tomorrow.. I started my cleanse yesterday, my cousin Jeanette started her 9 day cleanse 7 days ago and lost 7 lbs in 7 days so far and my other cousin Jeanine is doing the 30 day cleanse and has had incredible results already. I asked her to write me a little bit about her experience so far and here is what she had to say:

"30 Day Cleansing System: I started at 127lbs and in just 5 days I've released 5 pounds, lost 2 inches on my thighs and 2 inches in my waist. The energy I feel is amazing and have lost my desire for caffeine completely, which for me was a shocker because I am a HUGE Starbucks drinker. It's amazing the difference I see and feel just 5 days in. Excited to see what the rest of the 24 days hold!
 My goal weight is 105-110"

I want to blog the entire 9 days of my cleanse and share my experience and results. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it- I know from experience! I also found out that a lot of fitness girls have started to take Isagenix which makes me really excited because I wanted to compete again this year in a NPC bikini competition. Isagenix came out with an Athletes package which I may look into after my 9 day cleanse is finished.


About the Cleanses
Presidents Pak:
I wish I had gotten this pak instead of just the 9 day cleanse. In 2 days Im totally addicted. The Presidents pak is like a value pak and I could have shared it with my friend Jilly or my husband and had everything the 9 day cleanse had PLUS all the goodies that go with it. It is everything you need to get the body you want for summer and maintain it. Now Im going back and ordering the isagenix bars, product B and so on and costing me so much more. 



Perfect to split with a friend, boy/girl friend or spouse.


30 Day Cleanse
Losing weight doesn’t always have to be hectic and extreme. With the Isagenix 30 Day Cleanse system, you can lose without worrying of overdoing it. The system was formulated to allow every individual achieve a once a week cleansing while enjoying 2 shakes as well 1 meal for the entire week.

The Isagenix 30 Day Cleanse System also incorporates the supplements of cleansing nutrients such as vitamins, herbal teas, ionic trace, and aloe. These nutrients are fed to the body to motivate natural burning of fat. It doesn’t contain any kind of stimulants. This is definitely a good chance to build muscle and enhance mental clarity.
How does this program work well for cleansing? Great results are achieved because of its product combination. Isagenix offers several products that aims to provide a healthy living for those who intake it. With the Isagenix 30 Day system, a participant is given several products that are to be used on the entire program: Ionix Supreme (1 bottle), Cleanse for life (2 bottles), Isalean Shake (4 canisters), Isagenix snacks (1 bottle), Natural Accelerator Capsules (1 bottle), Isaflush (1 bottle), Single Want More Energy (2), Single Isadelight Chocolates (2), Instructions Manual (1), and a Cleanse for Life DVD (1).


( The 30 day cleanse is basically two 9 day cleanses in 1- plus a few extra goodies. If you're thinking of doing the 9 day, I would upgrade to the 30 day and split it up so you have more the next time you need a quick boost )
The 9 Day Cleanse



With your order also comes a meal guide, tape measure and a guide to chart your progress because you don't only lose weight, but you lose inches too!

Here are my starting measurements:
Height- 5'6"
Weight- 114lbs

Neck- 12"
Upper Arm (L)- 9.5"
Upper Arm (R)-9.5"
Bust- 31"
Diaphragm (Rib Cage)- 26"
Waist- 24"
Abdomen- 32"
Buttocks- 35"
Upper Thigh (L)- 19.5"
Upper Thigh (R)- 19.5"
Calf (L&R)- 13"
Upper Knee (L&R)- 14"


DAY 1!!! 
I tried to eat every 2 hours
9am-9:30am Today when I woke up I drank 1 bottle of water. Then I waited about 30minutes and made my first "meal"- My Isalean Vanilla shake and took my Accelorator. 
I bought myself the "bullet" blender from Bed Bath & Beyond. I added a hand full of ice cubes and then added enough water to equal 8oz. I put that in my bullet and then added 2 scoops of my shake and then blended. (Isagenix sells a blender as well.)

11:30am- For a mid-morning snack I ate 2 of the green tea chocolates " Isadelights plus" also from Isagenix.

1:30pm- This is my main meal on shake days. I had 3 small pieces of ahi tuna and a side of avocado with tomatoes.

3:30pm-Mid- Afternoon Snack- I had 2 of the "Isagenix snacks" that came with my 9 day cleanse and took another accelerator pill.

6:00pm- "Dinner"- Shake number 2. ( same as above )

So far I feel really great. Maybe a little cranky but I felt so focused and energized this morning after my first shake. With the meal plan it lists options that you can eat as your Mid- morning and Mid- afternoon snacks which is nice if you get bored easily because then you can switch it up.

Tomorrow is will be my second shake day and then I start my cleanse.
The 9 day cleanse is pretty intense, thats why I got the 30 day cleanse for my husband. You can choose how many "juice" days you want and customize the cleanse a lot more than you can with the 9 day cleanse. He's really excited to start it because he wants to lose about 15 lbs and feel healthier overall.

Day 2 !!!


I woke up at 9:00am this morning because I had a 10am training session. I again had a full glass of water, waited about 30 minutes and then had my first shake.

I went to the gym, worked out for an hour, came home and got to choose what I wanted for a mid-morning snack. I decided to go with the cleanse for life juice which comes with your 9 day cleanse. ( Its the juice you drink on your cleanse days)

For lunch I had tunafish mixed with cranberries and 1 teaspoon sunflower "mayo", 4 ritz crackers and a bottle of water.

Mid-afternoon snack I had 2 of the "snacks" that come in your 9 day cleanse. And then for dinner I'll have my 2nd shake for the day!

I may end up doing some cardio, crunches and some squats later on as well;I have a good amount of energy after the shakes!

Tomorrow is my cleanse day so Ill probably only go to the gym to do cardio and not lift since Ill be drinking just juice all day.

This whole process is also a lot easier when you have a friend or family member doing it with you- but I promise you will see results and won't be disappointed!

My Inspiration and Goals
When I first got into fitness I was 21 years old. I signed my first big endorsement with a supplement company called Met-Rx later working with BSN and STS supplements and competing in the NPC - (National Physique Committee)  placing 2nd my first competition.


My Inspiration!!!
 Jennifer Nicole Lee is a HUGE fitness model and has been on Oprah, tons of covers etc. The first time I ever saw her was on the cover of Fitness Rx magazine I think back in 2006; I still have that exact magazine to this day. She has an amazing body , she's thin but has shape; not too skinny, she looks healthy and is toned. I have just always loved her and her look; She has always been an inspiration to me. Not to mention she is in her mid - late 30's and a mother of 2!!
 I hope these pictures also inspire you  <3

She has amazing legs





This is perfection to me.







If you end up ordering Isagenix  or, if you would like to become an associate as well and learn how you can make money just by spreading the word and telling your success story please shoot me an email.I would love to hear your story and help you anyway I can <3

  1. Thank you for putting this post together Jennifer! Super helpful and totally inspirational. Isagenix should be so happy that you're endorsing their products, because with your stamp of approval and amazing physique, many of your blog readers/ followers will probably check it out. I wouldn't be surprised if their cleanse packages start selling out!

    Bikini season is definitely coming quickly, and who doesn't appreciate a little help sometimes?

    All the best to both you and your husband on your cleanse! I look forward to trying it out soon as well. :)

  3. Can you do the 9 day cleanse, and then do the 9 day cleanse again to lose more weight or should I just go with the 30 day?! What is your goal weight?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think you could just get the 30 day. Its all the same products, just with the 30 day theres more of them. And you can choose 2 chocolate and 3 vanilla shakes to see which one you like best ( 4 comes with the 30 day cleanse). My hubby got the 30 day and did 2 and 2. Im actually excited to try the chocolate because I normally only order the Vanilla. Then you'll have some left over to "maintain" after the cleanse is done..

      Right now Im at 114 but it fluctuates. I would really like to be 108-110 but toned. I just feel like my mid section needs help and my thighs. Doing this cleanse will help me shed the fat and then I can work hard in the gym and actually see results and tone.

  4. Hi Jennifer!

    I have been following your blog since you first started and I am never disappointed! This is an amazing entry and only proves how down-to-earth you are as you have nothing to hide and really want to help other girls... I don't know many like you and I am sure many would agree with me.

    I am heading on vacation in about 6 weeks and am wondering when you would advise that I do this cleanse...? Should I do now to jump start or should I do it right before? Also what is it like to "come off" the cleanse? That is why I am concerned to do it before vacation... I am similar to you in that I am a conciencious eater and work out daily both on my own and with a trainer... I just have about 4-6 lbs I want to drop to look my best and really enhance my muscle tone. I look forward to what you have to say... :)

    Good luck to you and your husband on your cleanse! I am sure you will succeed and I cant wait to hear about your stories along the way!

    xxxx, Pam

    1. Hey Pam. Aw thank you so much.
      As far as the cleanse goes, for me, I would start the cleanse now, bc once you get rid of those few extra pounds it will motivate you to work out harder because you're actually seeing the results. Atleast thats how I am. I hated 2 years ago that I was busting my ass in the gym 5 days a week- no joke- and not seeing ANY results because I had extra fat on my body. But once that started to go and the scale numbers went down and I started to see abs, I wanted more more more!!!
      Thank you again and good luck to yoga s well.. Keep me posted on what you decide to do :)

  5. ok this makes me so happy that you do isagenix! about an hour after i ordered my 30 day cleanse, you posted on twitter that you just got your cleanse. i was upset thinking that you knew of a better one i could have gotten. i want to lose 15-20 lb so it sounds perfect. i was wondering...what do you suggest as your meal? it says 400-600 calories. it looks like you chose something low carb? hopefully it comes in the mail today. i am excited to start!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Theres is a bunch of meal suggestions on the website i believe. I normally eat pretty healthy so I just chose something easy, that I had in the house, that was still pretty healthy. I think I myself need to read up on the suggested meals. It seemed like a lot of food, protein, wholegrain, cottage cheese but I guess I should be happy right LOL.. Why don't you email my cousin jeanine and ask her what she eats for her meals because she is on the 30 day cleanse as well and so is her mom!!!

    2. Veggies!!! When I did my cleanse I would do frozen veggies and because they are low in calories I would end up eating a lot and actually being full. I would add like 6oz of protein, so you could do fish, or chicken. I thought initially I would have to starve to only consume max 600 on shake days but I was rather full and even now (I'm currently just doing maintenance) If "my eyes are bigger than my stomach" I just eat a lot veggies and fruit to not over kill on calories.

    3. Such a great idea. Im on my juice day today but I am so looking forward to some nice asparagus and Tilapia fish come friday!!! Thanks for the suggestions!

  6. Thanks Jen! You are amazinggg! Quick question, is there any caffeine in this product?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thats a good question. I know that mostly all of their products are gluten free, but I am not sure about caffeine.
      I did some research and found this
      "We do not add any caffeine to any Isagenix products. In addition, we strongly encourage you to avoid caffeine and caffeinated products in general, especially during your Isagenix Program. Any naturally occurring caffeine in our products is in minimal amounts. The Rich Chocolate IsaLean Shake may have naturally occurring caffeine in a small amount due to the natural cocoa used. Cocoa is also a good source of natural antioxidants. If you feel you should avoid cocoa, however, then try our French Vanilla IsaLean Shake."

      You can call my cousin Jeanine and ask her to be 100% sure if its for health reasons.

  8. hi jen! I am def going to order from you! Question?? I generally work out pretty hard. Doing cardio then lifting. Should i change the intensity of my workouts on the days I cleanse?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think see what type of energy you have. If you lift a lot then you're probably used to eating 5 times a day- so to then go down to a juice ALL day, you may be kind of tired and/or sluggish. I would for sure do cardio as it will help in your weight loss- at least 20 minutes they say.
      Let me know how it works for you

  11. Hey Jen,
    I was wondering do the accelerator pills come with the cleanse and do they give you that shakey feeling that some diet pills do?
    Also im 143 and 5'7. Im in the gym every day and still seem to be in a slump at dropping the rest of my post baby weight. (already down from 170 in 6 months) I find at 125 ive always looked my best and all my muscle tone shows..is there any cardio you would suggest especially for the 30 day cleanse?
    THanks again LOVE your blog so inspirational!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Aww good for you. No, the accelerator pills don't make you feel shaky at all... I hate that feeling too- it actually gives me anxiety. I haven't been shaky at all and today its my juice day. The acc pills come with the 30 day cleanse along with a bunch of other products. Im actualy stealing my husbands because he got the 30 day cleanse and now I want everything he got LOL.
      As for cardio- I do the stair master and also just walking on the tread mill at the highest incline it will go. It says to do at least 20 minutes a day. That coupled with the cleanse, I think you will see amazing results! Please keep me up to date with your progress. I love success stories

  12. I signed up as an associate and completed the 9 day cleanse. It did the trick! On the first shake day I weighed 140lbs. I followed the system to the "T" and though it takes a lot of discipline by day 9 I was 131lbs and I lost 3 inches in my waist. I have maintained the weight loss with daily doses of Cleanse for Life (2oz) and eating well and exercise. I let my results speak for themselves to sell and at the end of the day it's about healthier living. The shake and cleanse pak is also good for once a month maintenance.

    1. OMG I love this.. I am NOT a sales person- I tried retail and sucked at it because if I didn't really like something I didn't want to con someone into buying it. I do however agree 100% that I too let my results and personal experience speak for themselves. I only share things I like and believe in and Isagenix was the ONLY thing that helped me 2 years ago and I already see amazing results in just 2 days this time around . Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I love helping people look and feel amazing- and I hope people who read your story will be motivated to try Isagenix as well.

  13. Dear Jennifer,
    How tall are you? Also can you say what your fat % is? Like a before and after the cleanse? If you have that info it'd be really awesome! Also do you occasionally drink? If so what is your choice of adult beverage. I've noticed when I stop guzzling the booze I tend to loose weight, but I really suffer to stay thin. I eat nothing fun or exciting. I've tried some of your diet suggestions. Thanks for not giving up on us, your fans! Please keep the blog posts coming. They are so cool!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I am 5'6".. Not quite sure on my fat% but Ill ask my trainer tomorrow to take it for me when Im at the gym.
      I rarely drink and if I do it will either be wine or something sweet like a martini, or malibu bay breeze. LOL If your guzzling beer, I would stop like yesterday! So not good for you. Alcohol deff will put on weight- hence the term- "freshman 15".
      Why don't you try Isagenix. If you want go on youtube and google isagenix and a ton of videos of peoples success stories will come up. Wether your like me and want to lose 5-8 lbs or like other people I know who want to lose 20-40+ lbs, Isagenix will help you. Its not like a diet pill that makes you shaky and promises results that never happen. This product really works and is guaranteed 100% or your money back. If you can, try the 30 day cleanse. You will be golden by summer!!! But if you get it and invest in yourself- make sure you really stick to it!!!

  14. Jen, you're gorgeous and physically an inspiration to many people!
    I've pinned a pic of you on pinterest on my "health and fitness" board as I think a strong, toned body is far more healthy than a starved one. And gym-fit or generally exercise-fit makes a person far more healthy in the mind.

    If you're trying to lose 15-40lbs would the 9 day cleanse work? or would you have to use the 30 day option?

    1. I would go with the 30 day. The average weight lost on the 9 day is only 7 lbs and thats following the directions 100%. I think you will be much happier with the 30 day; Im already stealing stuff from my husbands 30 day cleanse because it didn't come with mine lol.

  16. Hey Jen,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your weight loss routine & goals with us. I have been in a little workout/diet rut lately and your blog post makes me really want to get back on track, get healthy and in shape. You are absolutely gorgeous and in excellent shape. I love how you are so honest and show that you work hard to look the way you do and that it pays off. So many girls are like oh I eat whatever I want like fast food all the time, don't exercise and just look like this. You are a real inspiration!

    I will definitely be ordering the 30 Day Cleanse from you. This is the exact jumpstart that I need to get back into shape. Also, do you like the Magic Bullet Blender that you bought? I need to purchase a new blender and was wondering if you thought that one was any good?

    Thanks,
    Lauren

  17. Hi Jennifer,
    I was wondering since I saw your purchased of the "The Master Cleanse Spicy Powder" in your Whole Food Run Blog...if you have given that a try, or do you know any friends of yours that have? And what are your thoughts about that? I kinda want to try that first before committing to something like this, although this is VERY appealing. What do you do for cardio and for how long? Also here's a beauty question pertaining to fitness....when you work out, do you always wash your hair afterwards or do you have a secret on keeping fresh after a workout? I hate working out and rushing home to wash my hair, then blow drying/styling it before heading out to dinner or so. Most fitness mags do not address this issue. Thank you for sharing and I really enjoy your posts. Keeping posting posts like this...it's motivational.

  18. Hey Jen! I love this blog post, I have thought about isagenix from your last post a year ago about it and You have peaked my interest to say the least now I am really going to try it. I am 5''8 healthy and work out but always want to be at my best. I am curious to what you do if u go out to eat while on the cleanse? Like I feel like I might fail at the cleanse and stop the 5th day because I go out to lunch with a friend or socialize. I feel like a cleanse can create great discipline in limiting yourself to certain things and good will power to not snack on junk, etc. I loved ur swiss chard recipe blog post. Thanks and your response would be so helpful to me :)

    Power to you during your cleanse!

    Cheers
