All Over Again

I stepped on the scale last night and I was horrified at the numbers I read, it had been weeks since I had stepped on a scale and I had made very poor diet choices. I am currently at my heaviest ever; 170 lbs {only 1 lb more than my previous high, but nonetheless depressing}. With the strongest of determination I am starting off good. All this week I am still working despite the fact that there is no school because there are still lots of things done, but seeing as there are no students that means there are little to no food distractions. {Hurrah!}

Day 5 of Ignite

Today I decided I was not going to do another round of Ignite any time soon. It has brought results and I do feel healthier, but I am not sure it is entirely what I want at this time. Particularly with Christmas coming up and deciding whether to spend money on me or other people and also just wanting to force myself into a more natural healthy lifestyle. Meaning I need to work out more and eat "real food" more often so that I can eat what I need to be eating and enjoying it too. Not to say I will completely stop with Xyngular products, I am going to stick with the CHEAT and the LEAN for sure. Adding a little protein for snacks, breakfasts, and desserts are great and getting a little less fat with my meals sounds like a good plan to me!

What is Xyngular

Many people think of Xyngular as being merely a fad diet, but it really is quite a bit more than that. I want to share some things about the ingredients and the benefits found in this "diet".

"The supplements you will be using during your program will increase your metabolism, eliminate 25% of the calories you eat, curb hunger (allowing you to make better food choices), detoxify your system-eliminating toxins that slow down your metabolism, give you energy for life, assist in building your lean muscle tissue, protect your body from free radicals that cause cancer, stabilize your blood sugars-allowing your body to burn fat rather than store fat, and provide many, many other positive benefits!"

XYNG

– Does 3 things to assist in weight loss. 1.) Stabilizes blood sugar which helps your body get into a fat burning

mode and reduces cravings for high sugar/high fat food. 2.) Gives you a natural mood boost which makes you feel

better and less likely to reach for food to boost your well being. 3.) Gives you a natural energy that lasts all day. So

many times we eat thinking it will boost our energy, but now you won't have to do that!

LEAN

– A pure protein source that assists in building and maintaining lean body mass-your body’s most

important fat burning tool. Start every day with a Lean shake for your optimal body.

ACCELERATE

- Contains green tea and other components found to elevate your metabolism and cause your body

to burn fat, (Thermogenesis). Many situations in life cause your body to go into a fat-storing mode: overeating, lack of exercise,pregnancy, etc. Accelerate will get your body back into a fat burning mode and get you back on track to your ideal weight.

FLUSH

- An all organic product that gets rid of all the toxins in your system and cleanses your colon wall.

Getting rid of the plaque on the colon wall allows the body to properly absorb the nutrients in the food you are

eating. Consequently you will have fewer cravings and a much healthier body. If you have problems with

regular bowel movements, this product will work magic!

CHEAT

– An all natural fiber product from a Japanese root called Konnyaku. You simply sprinkle cheat on

your food. When it hits your stomach it expands and creates a viscous gel that literally traps 25% of the food you

just ate eliminating it without your body ever absorbing the calories. Think of Cheat as a credit card that gives you a

25% discount on everything you buy. Somehow I don’t think you would ever forget to use it.

SUPER FRUIT GLOBAL BLEND

– Contains the nutrients and benefits of 22 different super fruits. When your body

is breaking down fat, toxins are released into your blood stream. These are things like: pollutants from air and water,

prescription medications that have built up in your system, Vitamins like A, D, E, and K (which are healthy but when

stored in excess in fat tissue turn toxic), etc. All of these and more are released as free radicals into your system. Super

Fruit Global Blend contains antioxidants which assist our body in eliminating and stabilizing these free radicals keeping

our bodies in optimal health. Drinking 2-6 oz daily of Super Fruit Global Blend will optimize your health and assist in

keeping your body weight in an optimal range. Last but not least, Super Fruit Global Blend contains only 22 calories

per serving.

Ignite ~day eight~

"By day 8 your weight loss is typically starting to slow down a bit but the inches lost will
continue to be impressive! We  recommend that once you complete day 8, take one day off and then start the program over again with days 1 & 2. Do this to lock in and solidify the weight you have already lost and to continue to create the habits that will keep you at your ideal weight for life. Plus, once you have your body on a roll you want to keep it up! The second 8 days won’t typically see as many pounds lost, but the inches will usually be even greater than the first 8 days! When your lean muscle goes up and your body fat goes down, you will be amazed at your transformation! "

I definitely plan to add more consistent workouts into my routine now that the first 8 days are over. I have invested in a Jilliam Michaels DVD and I have the Wii for a well rounded cardio, yoga, and weight training exercises. I plan to focus on my core the most as well as arms and thighs.

Tomorrow I get a "splurge day" meaning, I don't hog crazy but I get to eat things that I missed and fill myself until satiated. I am excited about my meal plan. I will then take Sunday and Monday off and eat as if I were on an "eat day" on the diet then I start my 8 days of Ignite all over again on Tuesday. Fun, fun!

Ignite ~day seven~

I weighed in this morning and I have lost 7.5 pounds. Which is exciting, though not nearly the 14 lbs that my mother lost. But we are not done yet, I still have tomorrow to finish off this first 8 day Ignite cycle. Tomorrow I will explain a little bit about what happens after the first 8 days and how to proceed to the next 8 days.

Ignite ~day six~

I realized I haven't really talked about my weigh-ins much. So here is a brief review. 
After the first two days of detox I had lost 6 lbs and I was really excited. When I 
weighed in on the 4th day (the day after my first eat day) I had gained back 4 of those 
pounds and I was super frustrated, even though I knew that it was likely that I would 
gain weight because my body thought it wouldn't be seeing carbs and such ever  again. 
On the 5th day, I had lost 4.5 lbs from my starting weight...knowing that my mom had 
lost a total of 14 lbs at the end of the 8 day program and I can only hope that I follow in 
her footsteps and also lose the 14 lbs {the average is between 8-14 lbs}. Today I weighed
in at 5lbs lost {so there it is the long and short of it}. My results have been a little on the 
low side and we are not entirely sure why; everybody is a little different, so it could be that
I just have to drink a little more water, or stay away from a certain type of food on my 
'eat days', there are some options which I have not been doing that I will be starting, such as
I ate lettuce with my protein lunch today and on Friday morning I am going to eat some 
oatmeal with my morning smoothie. Hopefully adding these options will help my body in 
the weight loss process. But nonetheless, I have still lost 5 lbs in 6 days!

√   Breakfast shake- 8 oz hot water with one scoop protein   {9:00 am}
            2 Axion tablets 
√   Mid morning snack - 3.5 ounces of water canned chicken  (Sprinkle CHEAT) {10:45am}
√   Lunch - 4-6oz tuna wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves (Sprinkle CHEAT) {1:20pm}
             two Accelerate
√   Mid-afternoon snack- 2 hardboiled eggs with pepper (Sprinkle CHEAT) {4:45pm}
√   Dinner shake- 8 oz hot water with one scoop protein {8:00pm} 
             two Flush

Ignite ~day five~

By now you should be leaner, healthier, and on your way to buy a new swimsuit to show off your lean, toned body! 3 more days and you’ve finished round one of the XYNGULAR IGNITE FAT BURNING SYSTEM! 

Reality Check:
Many of us have been taught the wrong things about food our entire lives. Dinner should be the smallest meal of the day and contain mostly protein and vegetables. However, many families make dinnertime a social time and use it as an excuse to be the biggest meal of the day. If you are going to bed in a few hours and your body does not need the energy, the excess calories are going to be stored as fat! If you get in the habit of eating a light dinner and sticking to mainly protein you will notice your weight and appearance changing drastically and find it much easier to maintain your ideal weight.

Ignite ~day four~

They said by day 4 I should start feeling healthier as my body flushed out all the free radicals and so on; and it is true, yesterday was a great day! I am half way through the 8 day program andtoday was the hardest day yet. I realized at about 7pm that I had forgotten my axion tablets, so that may have been part of it; but I also work at a college cafeteria and I am around food and the smell of food for 8 hours {yipes!}. I checked my measurements today and I was down about an inch in my waist. Found out part way through the day that I should have weighed myself...oops...I will definitely remember that tomorrow morning.

√  Take 1 Xyng (pill) first thing in the am {6:30am}
√   Breakfast shake- 8 oz water with one scoop protein   {7:40 am}

             two Accelerate

√   Mid-afternoon snack- 4-5 oz turkey  (Sprinkle CHEAT) {4:30pm}
√   Dinner shake- 8 oz water with one scoop protein {8:15pm}           I made mine hot today added a little cinnamon and nutmeg then took my 2 flush pills with it instead of tea, it wasn't too bad, would have been better with unsweetened almond milk but I didn't have any.

Ignite ~day three~

I weighed in this morning and I have already lost 6 lbs. It is important to remember that your body's weight can fluctuate up to 2 lbs. within a day so it is best to weight yourself at the same time of the day! Day two is the same as day one, so here I go again!

Even though it is tempting to skimp on the carbohydrates and stick with protein only for lunch you will be hurting yourself in the long run. In order for the body to continue to lose it has to feel comfortable and not feel threatened. On eating days the calories are higher which signals to the body that it is O.K. to give up the stored fat for energy. If you don’t eat your carbohydrates and you keep your calories low, you will slow your metabolism down and put your body into a protective mode. 

Eat even if you don’t feel like it!!!!

√  Take 1 Xyng (pill) first thing in the am {9:00am}
√   Breakfast shake- 8 oz water with one scoop protein and two capfuls juice  {9:45 am}
            two capfuls of juice with water and 2 Axion tablets 
√   Mid morning snack- 4-6 oz turkey and low fat string cheese  (Sprinkle CHEAT) {11:30am}
√   Lunch high protein and fiber meal consisting of wheat bread, turkey burger patty, kosher dill pickle, and fresh    steamed green beans and a serving of peanut butter {YUM} Circa 500 calories (Sprinkle CHEAT) {3:00pm}
             two Accelerate

W H A T ’ S   T H E   S I G N I F I C A N C E  O F   E A T I N G   D A Y S ?
On eating days you get to add real food back into your program with a sensible lunch containing 500-600 calories. Choose a healthy meal that is low in fat and sugar. The goal of the XYNGULAR IGNITE FAT BURNING SYSTEM is to get your body burning the stored fat on your body, not the fat you are eating in your diet. Between lunch and dinner, if you feel hungry grab a pure protein snack. For dinner, stick with protein only, like chicken, turkey, fish, etc. Eating protein for dinner is a great way to stay lean for life. Whatever carbohydrates are in your system when you go to bed will more than likely be stored as fat. Protein, however, is very difficult for the body to convert to fat. The body will use protein to repair and regenerate muscle tissue and other cells in your body, leaving nothing to store as fat. A general rule is to eat your carbohydrates early in the day so your body has the chance to use them for energy, and stick to protein later in the day and evening.

Ignite ~day two~

today was actually a bit tougher than yesterday, didn't really expect it. I guess I would say that I felt like a water balloon. Drinking loads of liquids {way more than I usually drink} and eating nothing but turkey deli meat. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I get to eat an actual meal!! It was horrible watching television with my husband today, I felt as if I saw a million commercials for food at different restaurants and all I really wanted was a good hamburger but that day will come again, in fact, I will likely be having a turkey burger tomorrow if all goes as planned.   :)

Ignite ~day one~

My main focus this week is to follow the program closely so I don't have to start over {that's right, if I mess up I have to start over!}  But it's worth doing right! I will feel great, lose weight, and super charge my metabolism and immune system.

          and I forgot my two Accelerate at home so I skipped them today and I don't have to start over because these just help curb my appetite. 

√   Afternoon snack - 4-6 oz meat (Sprinkle CHEAT) {4:45pm}

√   Dinner Shake - 8 oz water and one scoop protein {7:30pm}

√   Before bed - take 2 Flush with smooth move tea {9:00pm}

I have to remember to drink lots of water so I will detox my body and 

it helps keep me fuller and keeps the products working in my system. I drank 72 ounces today and the goal is to drink at least half of your weight in ounces so I came a little short.

Don't be hungry and remember you can have a 'naked lean' which is a scoop of Lean Protein before bed if you're hungry which will absorb quickly and help your body to burn fat and calories all night long.

"I can do anything for 8 days!"

If I start with a Lean shake in the morning I won't crave the junk.  If I start out with junk, or nothing my body will crave ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.
