One of the reasons I chose Plexus is because a friend of mine who is a nurse and health nut recommended it. She did a lot of the research. Yes she is selling it now, yes it is a multilevel marketing system, but you know what I totally dont care about all of that. I wanted to try the product I was desperate. I needed something. I know how to eat right and excercise but knowing those things and being able to do them are different. I physically had no energy to make it thru a basic day much less do more. One day working out in the yard would cause me so much pain I couldn't do basic function the next day. So I figured what the heck I spend lots of money on supplements, organic foods, etc etc. I am so thankful I did. My friend is now making really good money I am so proud of her, but I know me and I am never going to share as much as she did, go for it as much as she did. Yes it would be nice to get a few people under me so my product is paid for but that is not my goal. My goal is to be more present in my life, to be active with my kids, to shed some weight so I can do more.
I have lost 11 pounds so far and while that is amazing to me. The biggest thing is I am more in my life. I am no longer so sleepy in the afternoon I used to tell the kids just let me rest my eyes a minute. I haven't done that in 2 weeks. Even if I have an insomnia prone night I still find myself functioning during the day. I don't take the accelerator product because it has too much caffiene (it is natural but still caffiene) so it is not that.
I also wanted something I could stick with long term if it was just for weight loss and to be done there are other products but I didnt want a disgusting fiber shake, lots of food restrictions, etc. I already eat fairly healthy with our family. I have still had pizza this week, cupcake from bliss, etc. The difference is the cravings sometimes sugar just doesnt sound good, I dont eat as much and I definetly dont crave sugary items, anyone who knows me knows I am a sweet tea aloholic i could rate every resteraunt in town on their sweet tea. Well I now order it 3/4 unsweet and 1/4 sweet. I still like the touch of sweet but the sweet is just too sweet. I dont know why and I really dont care. I do know the ingredients are natural which was a big thing for us.
I have now added some of the plexus supplements to my day but this first two weeks all I did was the plexus slim drink. Adding the packet in a bottle of water each morning. That was the change. I do LOVE their vanilla protein packs and I add those to our normal morning smoothies because it is so packed with vitamins and it tastes good so kids and I love those. But I would do a smoothie in the morning if I was on plexus or not. So the only real change is adding the pink drink to the bottle water yes I can stick with that long term.
I am going to try to sit down this week list my supplements I was taking, and how much they were with the cost, etc of the plexus.
