Well, my Plexus package came Saturday, sadly to late in the day to be able to start my new regime. I was still excited, I went through everything, looked through the literature, started my DVD, and put my Plexus Slim packets and Accelerator + where they needed to be for me to use. Fast forward to Sunday.
(Day 1) I started my day tired as usual (blah) got up early for church. Which was difficult since I had bee up for several hours over night. I had breakfast drank my pink drink and got the house up. During the day several things occurred to me. The exhausted feeling that haunts me daily had been minimized, and I don't know how to describe it other than my body felt it was buzzing. I am having to keep a close eye on my blood pressure because I am on medication to slow down my heart beat so more oxygenated blood flows through with each beat. The Dr. and I were concerned that the Accelerator + could speed up my heart rate. Surprisingly my blood pressure is extremely lower now that I am on the Plexus Slim and Accelerator+. Before Plexus Slim I was averaging 147/89 - 160/98 on a regular basis throughout the day and this is on my medication. Now I am averaging 102/64 -120/82 yes I am still on my medication (which I am hoping this is something I can get off of in the near future!!)
Day 2 brought about another pleasant surprise I woke up for the first time since my heart attack (3 months ago) feeling rested like my body had rejuvenated overnight.. I was looking forward to this and it was surprising that it happened so quickly. Now don't get me wrong I still get out of breath easily, and the pain from my cholesterol meds is still there however it is not intense. I have also noticed that I no longer feel hungry the ENTIRE day, I eat my meals and the only time I really feel hunger is about 30 minutes before meal time.Gone are incessant feelings that I need to eat, now even smaller portions than what I had already been using fill me up. It is nice to eat a salad and not feel ravenous a few short hours later. I am keeping up with my water intake somewhere between 130 and 180 oz of water a day!!!
Day 3 brought even more surprise, I woke up again feeling well rested, I was hungry for breakfast but not ravenous even though I had eaten dinner 13 hours earlier. I know lots of people say hide the scale, however I got one for my birthday from my sister. It is one of those weightless ones that tells you what you lost not what your weight is!! So I weigh everyday (it comes with an app that helps track and motivate me) and this morning I am down 3 lbs!! I think I am also going to put some positive post-its on my mirror in the bathroom just to continue with the positive thoughts that I am capable of achieving my goals.
So to summarize it all up since I have started Plexus, I am losing weight, I am physically feeling better, and my blood pressure is looking amazing and this is all in just 3 days I can not wait to see what is going on at 30, 60, and 90 days!! I know I will have setbacks and such I am only human, I just keep looking forward and pushing hard!!
