Geisha Samples: S.I.S.T.A.H Big-Bones

Well it is day 15 and No, No, No I did not succumb to my displaced feelings…I did not have pizza. I guess God knows exactly what you need when you need it because when I got to work this morning a co-worker told me she noticed the difference and I told her how I felt about the scale. She made a valid point. I am a rather active individual – I run and I lift weights on occasion. I’m not lifting much now because I really don’t feel I have the strength. So for now I…

Day 14. Well I did it…I got on the scale. Bad idea. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if I’m doing anything wrong. I am eating according to the plan. I am getting in exercise but my body is having a very hard time saying goodbye to the extra weight. I just don’t know.  I’ve read all the great stories about people releasing 10-17lbs in their first 2 weeks and I understand everyone is different but Geez Louise can a S.I.S.T.A.H. catch a break or lose a few extra lbs? I think I…

Well its day 13 and I am yet holding on.  My eyes are looking yellowish with brown spots in them. I really thought I was through the main detox stage or was I so toxic this trash is just making its way to the surface? Have gotten use to eating right and it helps that my hubby works out of town so therefore I’m not tempted by cooking dinner EVERY night. My son is easy…he loves salads but he tends to grow tired of them so I have to get in the kitchen every once…

Hey hunties…well it’s day 12!! I’m over the half way mark and I’m coming up on the finish. I spent yesterday making up for Sunday. I went on a cleaning frenzy – however, I still have to do the basement. No complaints or gripes however I am longing for a lemon-peppered chicken salad from The Original Shane’s Rib Shack…Yum-yum…okay where was I? Ooh yeah, I need to focus. Only eight more days to go and NO CHEATS-TO-DATE. If nothing else I appreciate this journey and what it has taught me. I can do anything if…

Day 11.  No church today. I was in bed the majority of the day. Not that I felt bad, I just had a lazy spirit upon me. I think maybe from being on the go so much yesterday and not eating and drinking on my regular schedule threw me off a bit. My face seems slimmer. I don’t really notice a difference with the rest of me. Oh well, maybe my body was so toxic it’s gonna take more than one go at this or maybe I’m holding on to the weight mentally not allowing…

Morning babies…Day 9.   Heeeyyyy….yes hunnies I was a little upset yesterday but it ended on a good note. Today I woke up ready to take on the world. I went in the gym and worked out, got my praise on and felt really energized. My son said to me, “Mom you seem so excited, are you OK, you are talking and moving so fast.” I told him I felt great!! I guess this the euphoria feeling I read about in the reviews, I have a feeling of greatness coming my way. I can’t put…

Morning babies…Day 8.  Well I couldn’t sleep at all last night worried and excited at the same time. I gave myself a number in my head that I would be “happy” with when I stepped on the scale this morning, but in reality any weight loss is good weight loss. So I arose this morning and hopped on the scale. 224.0 nope, not a 7lb lost in which I was hoping for, truth be told I was sad, disappointed in myself and wanting to eat SOMETHING, ANYTHING…but I DIDN’T. I dusted myself off and realized this is a journey…

Heyyyy babies, day 7. Tomorrow is weigh-in. All can I say that I think I’m feeling a little nervous about it. While I know this detox is great to cleanse you internally and get you back on the right track physically, I am doing it mainly because of all the wonderful weight loss reviews.  Tomorrow if the scale hasn’t moved disappointment won’t even be able to describe the way I think I’m gonna feel. Hey I’m just keeping it real. I just pray whatever the scale says, I don’t get discourage and go on a…

WATER, WATER, WATER…yup…that’s all it took to get me moving. Today was great. Full of energy maybe a little too much but I’m not complaining. I upped my water intake and I feel good. We had a farewell luncheon today at work for a very dear friend. Pizza, wings, salad, cake and tea were on the menu. Planning ahead is AWESOME…I knew the menu so I packed banana/orange/red/yellow peppers, nuts, raisins and my own dressings, grabbed some salad, said no to the pizza and wings, made a lovely arrangements of colors on my plate and dug in. This…

Morning lovelies, Day 5 and all is well!! Energy, Energy and more energy today. I felt really good. I took on some projects that I had been putting off, “Bernice” and I broke another record today…so all in all I would have to say today was a good day. I wanted to say how supportive “Herb” was to me today (Dherbs customer support). I started writing this blog to of course log my progress so I could encourage others and to also encourage myself. I didn’t think the customer support team actually read them, and…

Heyyyyyyy…me again.  Day 4 and I am still standing. Today was a good day, I went to church and I had enough energy to go to the track with my son. I walk/ran while he roller-bladed. I did get a little help with going to the potty, I just felt like I was stuck. It helped a little, I think I need to pull back on the nuts, I’m going to try fruits, veggies and salads for a while and lay off the nuts and see if that helps my flow.  The only thing I…

Morning babies, Once again its me to let you know about this journey of which is now my life. Day 3, and the WEEKEND at that. WHEW!!!! The word for today H-U-N-G-R-Y!!!  Don’t know what it was…today my appetite was that of a ravenous beast. So salad, nuts, fruits, and more salad. Everything else remained normal. I haven’t been going to the potty like I expected, however, I’m thinking about trying a laxative along with this cleanse because I have certainly had some problems in the past where doctors were involved so “Herb” may need…

Morning babies…me again…Day 2.  First things first, I am not planning on weighing myself everyday but today i couldn’t help it 227.6 down by 2 pounds!!  OK, now that that’s out of the way, let me start by saying this, I never thought I was a bad eater. I do the fruits and veggies, and an occasional Almond Joy, you know to kick start myself. However, I guess I wasn’t being completely honest with myself. I thought I would have the first two or three days of this detox licked. You know, no side effects…

Hi everyone, I’m GiGi, AKA Sistah Big-Bones, meaning a Sister Inspiring Sisters To Achieve Health. Big Bones because that’s the excuse I always told myself when the weight wouldn’t come off as quickly as I wanted it to or came back sooner than expected…you know the one…”Child I ain’t big, I’m just Big Boned”. While I know I am not meant to be a size 2, and truly I have no desire to be (nothing against size two’s…I just enjoy my curves), I also know I am not meant to be 229.2 lbs and counting…ohhhh did I say that out…
