Update on us all.

Here is what each of us are doing:

I have started the nerve health support one thing I have seen from it is my restless leg syndrome at night.
I am also doing the biocleanse and probiotics.  I take the pink drink every morning NO accelerator and sometimes I do the vanilla protein in a smoothie but not always. I have been on the longest (almost 4 weeks) I have lost 15 pounds. The greatest thing is the energy levels. I would not have believed it without trying it myself. I am also sleeping much better at night. I still have my joint pain from my lupus/arthritis but it is much more manageable. The plexus has been a blessing for me. While it does get pricey definetly worth it and I can see myself always doing it. I always took supplements and the ones I have started from plexus have replaced my old ones so no new pills. Just drink my pink!

Brittney does just the slim drink she has lost 11 pounds and she says she has more energy and sleeps better at night.

Braden does the slim drink (not for weight loss and I weigh him weekly just to make sure he isnt losing and he is not) but his energy level is up and overall mood we were able to take away several supplements of his.

Matt has lost 9 pounds he does the pink drink and accelerator his caffeine intake is down significantly.

We have all seen a drastic change in our carb and sugar cravings.

How Much does Plexus cost

The primary product is the Plexus Slim. One packet mixed with one bottle of water per day to see results in weight and inches loss. This is what I use. I do not use the accelerator product it has natural caffeine and even natural caffeine is still caffeine and I cant do it with my heart.

I save money because I no longer do some of my vitamins and supplements since I am getting all my vitamins in my protein shake and the plexus.

A glitch

Saturday was an extremely physical day for me helping a friend paint up and down ladder, etc. I didn't figure I would feel to good on Sunday. I woke up and was still able to function which was huge but wow worst day I have had since I started plexus makes me realize how much better I have been feeling the last 3 weeks and how great I was doing. I also woke up at 3 am last night (I haven't had insomnia since the plexus....I hadn't even realized that) and those that know me know how horrible my insomnia is.  So I dont know if it was overdoing it Saturday or a rhuemetory/lupus flare up or what but it is now Monday (I have been up since 3) and I am ready for this glitch to pass.

My parents and aunt are starting a trial of plexus, I am so hoping it goes well both my aunt and dad are diabetic and my dad is a horrible patient who doesn't take care of himself so him even being willing to try this is amazing.

I did weigh in yesterday total weight loss 15 pounds!

What's involved...

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.

2 weeks

I have lost 11 pounds.
I am excited. I am most excited not to have the crashes not to be so tired that I can't function.
Yeah! I am not a sales person and I hate to sell things and I am just showing what it is doing for me and I will show how I am saving money on supplements by switching over to the plexus stuff.
I started the bio cleanse and probiotic yesterday so we will see how I do with that this week.

A better mood....

Brittney just came:
Her: Mom I want to tell you that I can tell a big difference since you have been taking the Plexus.
Me: Really? How so?
Her: You just seem like you are feeling better and you seem to be happier and in a better mood and you have done more with us and had more energy.
Me: Really I didn't think you could tell so much yet. Tomorrow is weigh in.
Her: Weigh in is fine but I can tell without it that it is helping you.

Yeah that made me feel better.

Just the energy is so much better. And I do not take the accelerator product because even natural caffeine is still caffeine and I do not react well too it so I do not take that one I just do the pink drink (which I like) and I do the vanilla protein packet in my normal smoothie because of the tons of vitamins. Now I have started the cleanse and probiotic (getting rid of another costly supplement that I take).

I am going to try to sit down this week and make a list of what supplements I am replacing, etc and the cost comparison.

Tomorrow is weigh in and even if I haven't lost a pound the fact that I have moved books at work, been much more active and it didnt make me sick for 3 days after is huge and no afternoon crashes where I just had to close my eyes in 2 weeks!!!!

A great day!

I layed down last night and looked at Matt and was like "wait a minute honey I didn't take a pain pill today or even a tylenol"...he said "really?".   My day always consists of a minimum of one tramadol and usually two and if I dont take a tramadol then I take at least excedrin migraine or tylenol because either I am hurting from my arthritis/lupus or I have a headache almost daily. But yesterday none. I know the pain wont magically go away with Plexus or anything but perhaps losing a little weight, getting a little more active, I can have more and more GOOD days! This is my second week on Plexus. I have not had a nap since 2 days after starting. I really haven't had my sinking feeling of being so tired I cant hold my eyes open at all. I weigh in either tomorrow or Sunday. Next will be my first week on the pain controller for nerves and the bio cleanse and probiotic so I look forward to seeing what more changes await!!

4 pounds

I weighed in on Sunday and lost 4 pounds.
I am still doing well no huge changes but I havent taken a nap since I began taking the Plexus.
Feeling like I have a little more energy.
I am going to start the probiotic and bio cleanse tomorrow.
I really like the Plexus pain reliever similiar to tylenol but much healthier for your body.

Day 4

I havent done any measurements or weighed yet because I dont want to do that too often. I will probably weigh in and measure every other sunday.

So far I can see a decrease in my sugar cravings. A huge decrease which is amazing to me because I was def a sugar aholic.

This morning Matt commented that his coffee doesn't taste the same and he felt awake even though he had only had 1 1/2 cups compared to his normal 4 cup minimum. He is like what is in this stuff...LOL...good stuff that is what it is!

We have made smoothies with the meal replacement vanilla two mornings in a row. Very good and gets something on our stomach. Super simple I put a few cups of frozen blueberries in the vitamix and 16 ounces of water and 2 packets of vanilla and blended that fed 3 of us flavor was very good.

So far I am enjoying the experience and look forward to the results.

Beginning

This is going to be a long process. But it is my greatest hope that it is a successful process.

Right now I am 39 years old I currently weigh 266 pounds, take medication from rhuemetory arthritis, lupus, high blood pressure, acid reflux, allergies, pain.  I have almost daily headaches, daily pain in my joints, I crave sugar like its crack, I am tired all the time and need a nap sometimes just to function. If I do too much I pay for it for days with severe pain.

I know plexus wont be a quick fix I dont need a quick fix I just need help. I chose plexus after a friend mentioned it on facebook and my husband and I researched it. plexus is a starting point to get to a healthier me. I did all my measurements on Tuesday which was the first day I had my pink drink! I love the taste so that will make the journey easier. I am slowly adding new products. I am on day 3. I will be posting my daily changes, as well as my measurements and weight. The whole family will eventually be on plexus and I will use this blog to share our journey.
