A new beginning

Ok- so last time I was on here we weren't moving- however, as of June we are happy new residents in Wisconsin. I am getting settled in. Haven't finished hanging pictures yet or putting in all the landscaping, or mowing the other 4 acres but hey- time is my friend-hopefully and if not- well, once the cold sets in I will have plenty of time to hang those pictures cuz I don't see myself hanging outside in the frigid -20! As of the 12th of June I began using Genesis Pure- a liquid form of vitamins and minerals and acai berries, noni berries and all that-plus an herbal cleanse. Ok- so I didn't have any expectations- I took it because a friend asked me to- she was having more energy and overall felt good, mentally focused etc. Anyway- I can truly say I was shocked! Not only did I notice definate energy without caffeine- but I can actually eat cheese, ice cream and even cheesecake again!!! I have been lactose intolerant since Blake was born and I ate ICE CREAM- the real thing last weekend for the first time in at least 12 years!!!! Folks- I don't need the calories that come with dairy but it was so nice to have the opportunity to just enjoy it for a moment. I ordered more and now I am getting Don started on it. I don't know if I can get him to take the cleanse because-truly if you don't choke it down mixed with OJ and chase it with more OJ it is pretty nasty- I hear they have it in pill form so maybe he can try that- either way- he already said he can feel the difference in only one day. So- I am going to keep logging my progress and experiences and see what else comes. I just started on the weight loss shakes today- they are more gritty than Herbalife but they are ok- I did feel like I ate a little more today- I think it's the metality of I drank two meals now I need to chew-so tomorrow I need to be in better control. I plan to keep this up for the next two weeks and do a new weigh in and measure- wish me luck!
