I started Isagenix today because I’m a stupid idiot. I know that is some harsh negative thinking for the first day, but I ordered their 30-day cleanse thinking it was some normal cleanse thingy that you take and you’re done with in a day or two. I didn’t think they literally meant 30 days. I thought it meant 4 days over a 30 day period. I got it because an author recommended it. And if an author recommended it, it must be good…ha. Good logic. It also encourages you to be in a sort of pyramid scheme like selling thing…so if I find this stuff is good, you guys can order the stuff through me and I’m supposed to make lots of money.
When I got the package in the mail, I was shocked. (you know, I really should read what I’m getting and look at the program before I order random things.) There were gigantic bottles of powder and gigantic bottles of liquid, bottles of pills, packets of who knows what…geez. Seems kinda high-maintenance to me. But, I got myself into this, I should at least try it for 30 days…why not. I bought the whole thing already and spent my money, now all I really have to lose is weight. (yes, I know I’ve stated before how much I’m against stuff like this and here I am doing it. what a maroon.)
So I started the day with a chocolate shake, which was whatever…My blending thing was not high powered, so there were lots of clumps. They encourage you to buy their blender. It looks exactly like the magic bullet. I also had an ounce of Ionix Supreme which is a brown liquid that you’re supposed to drink for who knows what reason. I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted pretty good! Much better than the shake. They make both sound so horrible in the preparation instructions by saying to mix stuff with ice or dilute with water to improve taste. Geez. It wasn’t that bad. It was all drinkable. Anyway. That was my breakfast. I’m supposed to eat a sensible lunch. (whatever that means, but don’t I always eat sensibly?) Then for dinner another shake. I looked at the ingredients and it looked like good stuff…
I don’t forsee any problems with this program so far, since they allow me to make my own decision at lunch. I don’t really eat breakfast anyway. And I don’t normally eat dinner either…well lately. So it’s all good.
Perhaps it will work. At this point my main concern is convenience. And even then I’m not sure if I want to shell out that much money just for all those weird potions. I guess in the long run it would save me money in food. But this woman can’t live off shakes alone. At least not for breakfast and dinner.
I mean what if someone suddenly falls in love with me and we go to restaurants for dinner where you sit down and get served. What would I do then? What if I suddenly hang out with friends on the weekends and eat breakfast at IHOP? What would I do? Do I abandon the Isagenix?
So my intention now is probably to quit this after 30 days to leave room for these possibilities. But who knows…Maybe people will hang out with me strictly during lunch…But these are far away never never land dreams…
I have been using Isagenix products for about a year now and they really are great, you know. I only did the 9 day cleanse. Stick with it and you will be amazed by the ease of weight loss, increased energy and increased focus. After the cleanse they have lot of nutritional maintenance products. You don’t have to live strictly on their products, just use them as supplements. The more you learn about them, the more you’ll understand how much they will benefit you.
Also, I used to have the same thoughts about “pyramids”. I was always taught that “network marketing” was a load of crap and nothing but a scheme. Well, the more I’ve learned about the network marketing industry the more I see that it is an excellent way to earn money. And, yes, I mean “earn”. Isagenix offers people a Real business that you must work like a Real business. The more you put in, the more you get out. The difference with netwrok marketing and a “job” is that network marketing with Isagenix creates Passive Income. The moment you stop busting your hump at your job is the same moment the money stops.
I am the LAST person anyone would have expected to get into network marketing, including myself; but I did. And Isagenix is the best company I found in all my research. Yes, I am a member of Isagenix now.
