One Week....
One week ago today I started a new journey towards a healthier me. I was scared and excited. I didn't know what to expect. Its hard to believe its only been a week. I really wanted to Plexus to work for me. I was scared that it wasn't. I can tell you that in one week Plexus has changed me.
My first day I couldn't believe the energy that I had. I am usually a go to bed at 10pm person I was ready to go and do almost anything at midnight Friday night. The next day I wasn't feeling so well but I have been fighting a sinus infection on and off for months. That what was making me feel not so good. Then Sunday I was lazy from a busy weekend but I was still full of energy and forced myself to go to bed Sunday night. I woke up Monday morning feeling refreshed not tired. My whole body felt good. It didn't feel sluggish like it usually does. Then Tuesday came along and for the first time in a long time I wasn't tired coming home from work. I cleaned the house and worked on some photos. I look forward to going to bed at night because I know I am going to have a good sleep.
I did notice on Monday (day 3) that I was starting to lose my craving for sweets. My mom made a cake and I didn't want it. I had a dessert at work on Tuesday and even that I really didn't want. It was just there. I haven't really been snacking in the evenings. I have been trying to eat supper a little later and I do notice that makes a huge difference.
At first I found drinking my slim drink in the morning was a little hard. I am not a big sugar eater especially in the morning. But after the 3rd day it was going down pretty easy. I drink it before I get in the shower in the morning. This way I find it gives me the 20-30 mins I need before I can have breakfast.
Wednesday evening I went to the gym and pulled a muscle in my leg. That gave me a little set back. But that's ok. As long as I am taking my pink drink I will be fine.
I did step on the scale and it was nice to see that I was down 3lbs. But I promised myself that I wouldnt get on the scale until friday. Then I caved.. I got on the scale on Thursday and it I was down another pound.. and then today I got on the scale.. 7lbs.. I am down 7lbs in one week!! How awesome is that!!
I can't believe that I am losing weight. I can't believe how much better I feel! I can't believe I just started this why didn't I do this a long time ago!
I know that you have been following my journey and wondering does this stuff really work. You want to know the truth it does! I feel so much better! I wish I would have started this journey a lot sooner! If you are wondering if you should give Plexus a try, do it! You have a 60 day money back guarantee if you do not like the product! You have nothing to lose but weight! Please send me a private message on facebook and we can chat Plexus. I promise I won't tell anyone!

Day 4 ~ Changes already
So I wasn't suppose to step on the scale. I told myself nope I wasn't going to do it. But I felt better this weekend. My body felt good for the first time in a long time. I wasn't feeling sluggish or feeling fat. I felt good. I felt I had more energy. The last 2 nights I fell asleep as I hit the pillow and had a great sleep.
So this Monday morning I wanted to step on the scale. I was praying. I knew that if I hadn't lost anything that I would be disappointed but then I knew that if I did lose something even 1 lb I would be happy. I would be over joyed! So I stepped on the scale.. and prayed and watched the numbers... My first time I got on the scale I was 223.8lbs. So I was scared... then they started to appear.. 220.8lbs. I was so excited!! 3lbs... 3 whole pounds. I felt like I just won the lottery. Yes it was only 3 lbs.. but you must start somewhere. Have you ever seen what just 1 pound of fat looks like?
The first day trying to drink Plexus was just a little hard. It was just getting use to it. Then the 2nd day got better and so did the 3rd day. I think just because I am not use to drinking something sweet in the morning. I like my Plexus really cold so I add a few ice cubes. But really over all it doesn't taste bad it was just getting use to it. But I knew that I was doing it for myself. I was making myself a better person. No looking back now!

Are you pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant?
This is a fabulous story from Lindsey. Yes Plexus is safe to take while your pregnant but you should always consult your doctor just to be safe.
Lindsey shares......
This is for anyone out there who is planning on having a baby, who is pregnant, or just had a baby! Here is my Plexus experience:
This is for anyone out there who is planning on having a baby, who is pregnant, or just had a baby! Here is my Plexus experience:
I wish I had started Plexus before getting pregnant. I started Plexus at about 14 weeks. I couldn't work, I was in so much pain, felt so sick all the time, tired despite having 3-4 naps a day, and feeling totally depressed and emotional (my OB started me on zoloft).I had heard about Plexus and thought " I am totally getting that after the baby"... I had no idea that Plexus was safe enough to take while pregnant. I did some research, asked questions, and discussed the ingredients with my OB.
The very first day I started the Triplex combo, I instantly felt better. I could finally eat without feeling nauseous and within a few days I started loosing weight by eliminating excess water weight, bloating, and swelling. That uncomfortable and painful feeling that I had in my gut was going way and the reduction in swelling meant less inflammation in my lower back and hips reducing those nasty shooting and throbbing pains. Also, my naps stopped! I felt like the brain fog had lifted and I could finally think and function again. All that right there helped the depression I was having. I finally began to feel less helpless and more excited about the arrival of my little boy!! My Doctor took me of Zoloft soon after.

I took Triplex for the remaining 5 months of my pregnancy. I believe that balancing my sugars, killing off the bad bacteria in my gut, and cleaning out my body... meant that the transfer of food from me to baby was CLEAN and nutrient enriched which contributed to a balanced flora within his body as well. Jameson is extremely healthy and strong! He didn't cry when he was born, the nurse who cleaned him exclaimed to the room that he was already holding up his head and looking around! He was born on 8/30/15 with a smile on his face and has never once been colicky (because he has a healthy/balanced gut and digestive system). If Mom is healthy, baby has a much better chance of being healthy as well!
Unfortunately I had developed pregnancy edema. Once I was home and back on Plexus (about 4 days postpartum), I lost 18lbs in two days!!! Plexus helped all that extra swelling and water weight to leave my body!! I just love what Plexus has done for me and my son. I continue to lose weight, get healthy, and be consistent with my Plexus products. Do yourself a favor and give Plexus a try!
and so my journey begins...
This last week I have been counting down the days until my Plexus arrived. I couldn't wait for Thursday to arrive. Well it arrived... and I had to wait until I got home from work to even seen what was in my package. It was so exciting to come home and see that my Plexus was actually here. That starting from that moment I was going to change.
Friday morning was my Christmas morning. I was so excited to start Plexus today. I even got out of bed early. Went to the kitchen and made my plexus. It was so easy. Just filled my water bottle, put the mix in and shake it.
Anyone that knows me knows that I like to go to bed early. I usually crash around 10pm. But last night I at 11pm I still had tons of energy. Actually it was after 12am before I went to bed. I woke up this morning I had somewhat of a good sleep... but between the dog and my husband I was up a couple of times. But Sunday night will be the ultimate test.
Over all I had a great day and I felt great on Plexus. I ate right and I drank all my water and went to the gym. The only complaint was that I had to go to the bathroom alot.
I am really excited where this journey is going to take me. I am amazed even after day one I have started seeing some results.

My bottle of Pepsi
This morning I was cleaning up the kitchen and found a bag that I had from last night. It was a grocery bag that had a receipt
and a few other things and this bottle of Pepsi.
You see last night we were going to hang out with some friends and Jonathan needed to stop at the grocery store. I went in with him and when we went to the cash I walked by the Pepsi cooler and then walked back and said "Yes I think I will get a bottle". My reasoning behind it was that I went to the gym today. Thats not that great of an excuse!
We went and spent sometime with friends I had a few drinks of this bottle of Pepsi and that was it. I ended up having 3 glasses of water.
So this morning as I look at this bottle of pepsi, which is probably going to sit in the fridge for the next few days then I will poor it down the drain, I think to myself why did I do this? Why did I buy this? Why did I waste my money on this? Do you know this bottle of pepsi is $1.79 plus deposit isn't that nuts?!?!
I can't wait for my Plexus to arrive! But before it gets here. I have to have will power! I have to remind my self that I am throwing almost $2 down the drain. I can do it!
