100 Days of Plexus & Eating Clean Challenge

I kept seeing several of my friends posting about Plexus, so I decided to try it out.  It's been pretty awesome. I've lost a few pounds, and I have more energy and I sleep well at night.  The reason I started Plexus was because I wanted to lose weight and feel better.  While I've lost some, I really want to step it up a notch. I mean, if I am using these products to help me lose weight why not eat clean as well and accelerate that process. Today is Day One of eating clean and working out.

The hubs and I are joining the Birmingham Jewish Community Center (no, we aren't Jewish, but they have a really awesome gym, indoor & outdoor pool and lots of workout classes). I'm met the membership lady at 2 pm, and then The Hubs and I worked out for an hour.

I think if I am going to do this I should post photos, weights, and measurements on here.  I think posting these will help motivate me knowing that it is out there on the internet.

I've lost about 10 lbs since starting Plexus, but a week long trip to Hawaii and a long weekend at the in-laws (I absolutely love them, but healthy food isn't their thing) I've gained all 10 lbs back.  I've also been pretty inconsistent with Plexus since the beginning of June, so that changes today as well.  I am going to make sure I have enough Plexus on hand, I am drinking enough water, I am eating healthy, and I am exercising.  Pretty pissed at myself right now. 10 lbs back?!?!? Ugh. Of course, some of this might be excess water because of that time of the month, so I'm hoping in a few days I'll be down a few.  I tend to gain between 4-6 lbs of water weight before I start.  It is ridiculous.

DAY ONE:

Photos (YIKES! And sorry for the messy background)

Just to let you know a little about Plexus, in case you are wondering what in the heck it is.  There are several products that you'll see me mention: Plexus Slim, ProBio5, BioCleanse, and Boost.  The first 3 are called Tri-Plex combo.  You can see from the photo below.

Plexus Slim is a pink drink that was formulated for people with Type II diabetes, so it helps regulate blood sugar.  It also helps you lose weight by burning fat, and it helps keep cholesterol and lipids at healthy levels.

ProBio5 is a probiotic that features five extra strength strains of probiotics, added enzymes, intestinal flora, B6 and grape seed extract.  It supports the breaking down of hostile organisms that negatively impact your health.  Many people who suffer from sugar cravings, inexplicable fatigue, bloating, anxiety and "brain fog" have found this very helpful.  It also helps improve your sleep, which I have noticed a HUGE difference!

BioCleanse helps to detoxify, cleanse, energize, and enhance weight loss.  It also helps relieve occasional constipation.

Boost is one of the companions to Plexus Slim, and is formulated to energize your body.  It has a thermogenic blend of ingredients that helps to suppress hunger and enhance endurance through increased energy.  Currently, this is my favorite product!

Ok, now that you have a run down of what I'm doing.  I am posting this a day late, so this was all yesterday's progress. Tomorrow I will post today's. 

I will eventually start to track my food on here, but at the moment I need to get this posted because I'm in a hurry. 

I hope everyone's is having a great day!
