12 Weeks Out Emerald Cup - Diet

Ok, so here's my new diet. Mostly similar, just a few slight changes.

Meal #1 is the same: 1/2c Lana's Egg Whites, 1 whole egg, 1/2c Oatmeal, (I changed the fruit) 1/2 banana 4 frozen strawberries. I made a double-batch so I can use the whole banana, it has good consistency for the pancakes but wanted the strawberry flavor. It's actually a LITTLE more fruit but that's ok to me because I am working out a TON and I can burn that off in my AM workouts.

Meal #2 is my Post-workout shake. Still using my IsaLean Pro but now added in the 1 scoop(that's a half serving) of the Vitargo so that I can have a better carb:protein ration. (2:1).

Meal #3 is 4oz Salmon and 6oz Butternut Squash. I took out my fat serving(almonds/avocado) in lieu of having a fatty protein source. So I still have my carbs with the squash, and the fat and protein are in the salmon. I may change this with meal #5 depending on how my day is going.

 

Meal #4 I just swapped the chicken for Tilapia. 4oz Tilapia, 1/2c brown rice, 4 asparagus(they are fat), 10 almonds. (a lil les fat as the salmon had a bit more)

Meal #5 Is my IsaLean Shake with Ionix (for combatting the effects of stress). I like this meal here as I can down it in-between clients/class at night.

Meal #6 is the same. My omelet: 1c egg whites, spinach(2c or handfuls), 1/2 avocado.
  
If I feel like it either I need it mentally or I had a heavy workout day I will have my IsaDelight as a treat. It's a little chocolate square infused with green tea. That's not a daily thing though.

This is for my training days which are Mon - Fri. I lift 5 days a week and teach 8 classes, but don't do all the classes depending on their capacity. My plan is about 1933 calories: 51g fat, 177g protein, 187g carbs, 29g fiber. I aim to drink 1 gallon of water a day. I also added CLA with some of my meals each day.
 

Why Isagenix?

First let me say, that I have a LOT of friends that use/represent different product lines, and I in no way want to say anything about their products. We all do what we feel is best, using a product we feel good about, to help people. Furthermore, those people who say 'it's a scam' or 'they got burned' clearly don't understand you are running a business. Just as much as you don't get a job in sales, or memberships, and just sit at your desk all day wondering why no one is just walking in throwing cash at you so you can earn commission. You need to WORK! It is education, sales, etc. It's is a full business, not a "get rich quick scheme". Although that's a possibility. I also know people who have quit their jobs by joining one of these teams and helping others. Plus, you shouldn't be 'buying a product so you can sell it and make money'. You should be referring people to the product because you LOVE the product. If you feel you should be paid to use it, you're just not a very good spokesmodel.

So me. I have been on other teams, and met some amazing people. I've never been a salesy person. If someone tells me they are looking for something, I can take it from there. But I just won't go up to someone and try to convince them of something. Back in July, my former coach Cathy Savage mentioned Isagenix to me. She said it could be a great way to help my business and raved about the product. I had seen it in some of the girls' meal prep photos on Facebook. I was shocked because Cathy would NEVER tell us to use any sort of supplement. Real food. If we asked her about protein shakes, she would say "whatever you can stomach will be the best one for you". So I tried it. 3 months, and I was training hard and making pretty awesome gains. I actually realized that from the year before, I went up from teaching 3 classes/week to 8, and from 3 lifts/week to 5...and did not have nearly the pain from my back and neck that I had before. I almost was afraid to stop using it.
 
I ran out, I wasn't sure I could 'do this'. It's money and I had done this before. But I called up a few of my old teammates...and they had used Isagenix for years! I got great feedback from them and it really just sealed it for me. I told Cathy to sign me up as an Associate! In the 2 weeks that I did not have product I was using other shakes I had previously in my cabinet. NOT the same! I didn't feel full, they didn't taste good, I just didn't feel the same. That old run-down feeling came back. My junk food cravings came back. They say it takes 4 days to feel a difference. Sure enough I was feeling great again by that 4th day. And I run myself RAGGED! There are lots of other stories you can read. There are hundreds of Cathy's competitors and many others I've heard from that use it. So to me, it was a done deal. My old teammates and coach, competitors, great product and it just feels right.
 
I love the shakes. They are organic whey with no added artificial sweeteners. I really love the Ionix, Want More Energy and IsaGreens to mix in the shakes to give them all different flavors. My dad is using the shakes and the bars.

So my goal is to build my business, and get about 4 good strong people with me that I can help on this journey. To help them build and make money and be healthy and reach their goals. Then, once they are set up help them with their teams or find more people, but really concentrate on helping my friends. The product is great, you don't need to run the business aspect. You can sign up as a Preferred Customer. I highly recommend checking it out. Just give it 4 days.  ;)
