Day 2

Today is going to be just like yesterday. The reason is, day 1 and 2 are detox days. You have to detox your body at the start of the diets. Nothing but water and protein. So....

Woke up and weighed myself and took my measurements. Down 2lbs and 1.5 inches on my waist and .5 inches on my hips.
Took a XYNG with a bottle of water.
Waited an hour and had a LEAN shake with a XYPSTIX mixed in for breakfast.
For lunch I had another LEAN shake.
At 1:00 I had my 2 ACCELERATE pills.
At 3:00 I had my lean protein snack. Today I chose some low fat cheese and a hard boiled egg.
For dinner I had another LEAN shake.
And an hour before bed I will have 2 FLUSH pills with warm water.

As always A LOT of water. Well, a lot for me, lol!
It's easier to do day 2 when you see the weight go down and the inches coming off. When Matt was doing the IGNITE last month, on day 2 he told me he couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't do day 2. So I had him weigh himself and I took his measurements. After he saw he had lost a few pounds and took 2 inches off his waist in one day, he changed his mind. So that's when I made this spreadsheet to chart your inches and weight. I know as soon as you see the inches coming off you can push through day 2. Plus day 3 is an eating day!!! I can't wait! Lol!

OK to highlight a product. Today I will highlight ACCELERATE.
ACCELERATE comes in pill form. It is part of the CORE 4 system that helps shrink your core. It boosts your metabolism. Promotes energy and stamina. It converts food to energy. It cause your core to go into a Thermionic Fat Burning state. And it suppresses your appetite. If you are going to work out on this diet you would after taking ACCELERATE (not on detox days). You get a boost of energy about a half hour after taking it and it is hard to sit still. Plus you feel it working, which is awesome!

I didn't mention yesterday that LEAN is part of the CORE 4 as well. The CORE 4 system is 4 products that I sell that when taken together or separate will help boost your metabolism and shrink your core. On both the month and week IGNITE you use the CORE 4 system. LEAN, ACCELERATE, FLUSH, and CHEAT. I will highlight CHEAT tomorrow because that's when I will use it.

My Testimony

I feel amaXYNG today! I am full of energy and wide awake! When your body starts to burn fat you boost of energy levels. Fat slows you down and makes you feel tired. I also use to battle insomnia bad! I didn't have the motivation to do much. Then I did the first round of IGNITE in July. Wow!! the difference was amaXYNG!!! I couldn't sit still. I wanted to go places and do things. Then I come home and around 10-11 pm I crash and am out all night! I wake up around 7, most mornings before the alarm and I'm right out of bed. This is how you are suppose to feel. Ready for the day and feeling great and then ready for bed at night. These products are changing lives and I know first hand because they are changing mine!! Plus, I am helping my self esteem. I feel sexier and more confident. I haven't been happy with myself in years. And I really didn't want to see it. Until I noticed the change in how I felt about myself. Then it was like a smack in the face. I didn't like a lot of stuff about me and now I do! Matt would never tell me that I was a bitch or and unhappy person. But I can see the difference in how I was then and am now.

I tried to lose weight before but I never could lose it around my waist and hips. After having kids that's where most of my weight was. After both of kids at my 6 week check ups I was clinically obese. I don't know how many of you have heard that from a doctor but it is a hard pill to swallow! After Zoe was born I went to nutrition specialist that put me on diet pills and vitamin shots. I went to her for a few weeks but didn't see a difference and the pills made me sick. I thought she would talk to me about how to eat right and put me on a meal plan. Nope. So I stopped going and didn't really lose any weight. Then I had Patrick. After he was almost 1, XYNGULAR started going around my neighbor hood and family. My neighbors started taking it and selling it. My sister-in-law started taking it. So I thought I would try XYNG, the energy pill. I loved it and started taking it everyday. When Patrick turned 2, I was almost back to the weight and size I was before kids. I still had a lot of inches around my core but I felt great. Then I got cocky and thought the pills were not working anymore. I felt tired during the day and I was still hungry all the time. So I stopped taking them. In about a year I felt horrible. I put about 20 pounds back on and I know I was battling depression. I didn't want to go places I didn't want to see people. So that's when I said enough!! I got a hold of my neighbor how sold me a week IGNITE kit on sell. I lost 8lbs that week. Then I noticed that as the weeks went past I was still losing inches. I felt awesome! I had energy again. I want to see people, the cloud was lifting. I went to a XYNGULAR meeting and I heard my neighbor's mom talk about her life changing story. She opened my eyes to whole new world. I was stuck in my whole world of being over weight and battling depression that I didn't see what these products where doing for other people until I heard her talk. Everyone in the room was crying by the time she was done talking. I knew right then and there that I wanted to take part. I want to help people! The next day I signed up to be a distributor. I waited a few weeks and Matt and I decided to do an IGNITE kit together. I lost 9.5 more lbs and 9 inches all over my body. Not to mention the self esteem boost it gave me. So here I am again. I waited about a month to do another. I am so addicted to the weight loss. lol. I love how I feel. Oh, did I mention that these products are all natural and organic. They are helping people with cancer, ms, depression, joint pain, high blood pressure, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Fibromyalgia, and I heard women are taking it while breast feeding and they are producing more milk then they can use. These are to name a few. People are coming off a lot of medication and just taking XYNGULAR products. It's a amaXYNG!!! So I am currently on my 3rd round of IGNITE in my 3rd month. I feel great and I look forward to helping anyone that needs/wants my help. I have handed out 2 boxes of XYNG samples! I have a few loyal XYNG customers. I look forward to what's to come!!!

Day 1

First thing this morning I weighed myself and took my measurements. I use this spreadsheet that I made.

Here is a bad photo of what my spreadsheet of the meal plan.

Here is a photo of everything you get in the week diet of IGNITE.

 

Then I took a XYNG with a full glass of water. I had to wait an hour to eat.
For breakfast today I got one scoop of LEAN in 8oz water (or skim milk) with a XYPSTIX mixed in.
For lunch I got another LEAN shake. (YAHOO!!! LOL)
At 1:00 pm I took 2 ACCELERATE pills.
At 3:00 pm I had 4 - 6 oz of a lean protein snack. Today I chose 2 hard boiled eggs.
For dinner today I got another LEAN shake. (OH YEAH!!)
An hour before bed I will take 2 FLUSH pills with warm water (or tea or any drink warm).

Here is a photo of today's products.

 

OK to highlight a product. Today I will highlight LEAN.
LEAN is a protein shake. It provides Vitamins A Thur B12 with High Grade protein and Amino Acids. It helps build lean muscle tissue. Supports fat metabolism. Satisfies your appetite and reduces food cravings. It is a meal replacement or a great snack. It is Vanilla favored. Only 50 calories per serving.

The week IGNITE diet is different than if you buy a month kit. So if anyone does get a month and reads this blog it will be a little different meal plan.

As always drink a lot of water! You are suppose to intake half your body weight in oz of water a day. You should drink it cold. You body burns more calories to warm up cold water then if you drink it at room temp. So every day I have to drink 4-5 water bottles a day. For me, this is hard. I'm not a water drinker. This week I can't drink anything but water!

The point of IGNITE is to starve your body of sugar and carbs. So once your body uses the protein that you are in taking it has to look for more energy. Where will it get it? Your fat storage! That's why the IGNITE diet is great at burning fat in your core (where most of your fat cells are stored).

Surprisingly I am not that hungry. I haven't been craving anything. If you know me well, Pepsi is my undoing. But I have noticed that since I have been doing IGNITE I don't crave things like I use to. Temptation is always there. Today we took the kids to Artic Circle and I had to sit there with my water and watch them eat. I had just had my eggs so I was doing OK. But still!! This diet is too important to me to mess it up. I CAN DO IT!!! And you can too!!!

IGNITE

I have done a few IGNITE diets. I have decided with this one I will blog my days so people can follow it and learn how it works. I am only doing the week diet. I will post my before and after photos and measurements on day 8. Tomorrow will be day 1. If anyone has any questions please ask.

Every day I will post about what I am eating and I will highlight a product. I look forward to your comments and questions!

Cake pops

I have been making cake pops for the last few months. I have really enjoyed it. They turn out so cute and I am always so proud of them. Here are a few pictures of some. If any one would like me to make a few let me know. :-)

Baby cake pops. The first cake pops I ever made. Just wanted to try it out.

Bunny cake pop

Chick cake pops

I made these for Easter and gave them as gifts. They were a big hit with the little kids.

Strawberry cake pop

Lady Bug cake pops

One of my co-workers wanted me to teach her. So she came over and we made these together.

I also made a few bride and groom ones that I forgot to take pictures of and I gave them to my boss.
They take a long time to make but they are so cute!

crib set

Here is a crib set that I made for a friend of mine. It was a lot of fun to make. This was the second crib set that I have made.

Bumper pads, crib skirt, and blanket. It didn't take long at all.
