Its Quiet...yet still busy

Declan is visiting his grandmother for a few days. I'm really not sure why I suggested this as I miss him so much! I know he is having a blast and I am enjoying spending time with just Abigail. DH has been home a bit this week, on a nice schedule and we've been enjoying more family time than we're used to in the army. I'm trying to remember to cherish it because it will not always be this way.

Apparently, Declan wears Abigail out, as she has done almost nothing besides sleep since we dropped off Declan. I know she misses him, as she kept pointing to his seat in the car and crying on the way home. But I think she enjoys being the center of attention.

Physical therapy is going well, I'm not quite cleared to run yet, but she did say 2 minutes at a time for 10 minutes total, so that's better than nothing. I like my therapist, she's a reader, as well. Today we discussed books to read and she gave me a few new ones to add to my list. I don't think I'm going to hit 50 this year, but I do have a bit more going on than last year.

The final bit of news is that I have applied to be a vendor in a craft fair in November. Two days of Arbonne, Arbonne, Arbonne for me! I really hope that it goes well and I'm successful in getting my name and business out there. My short-term goal for Arbonne is to be able to pay for half of Declan's preschool. I think it will be doable and fun.

Product Review: Arbonne 7-Day Body Cleanse

The day after our wonderful vacation, I started the Cleanse. I loved the idea because it allows me to keep eating! Most of the cleanses out there want you to drink their special stuff and not eat other food. How impractical! I definitely have been watching what I eat, but I am still eating!

The best part about this Cleanse is it forces you to drink water! You add 1 bottle (1 fl.oz.) of the liquid formula and add it to 32 oz of water. That's it! Now, I found the taste to be a little bitter, so I add half of the bottle to my first 32 ounces and the second half to the next 32 ounces. There, that's it!

By day 3, I had lost 2.5 lbs. I felt great! I have been eating my normal calories, drinking Arbonne Protein Shakes, eating some Fit Chews to tide me over until the next meal, and I'm very happy. I feel energized and I haven't been hungry yet.


By day 5, I was down a total of 3.6 lbs. The main ingredients in this formula are various juice powders, senna leaf extract, different types of algea and herbs. Arbonne boasts the Cleanse will prepare the body for a weight management regimen while it gently cleanses your system. It also supports liver and GI health as well as internal antioxidant activity. The formula has 20 calories per serving, with 5 of those being carbs and 2 being sugars.

By day 7, I had lost a grand total of 5 lbs and am back on track for my regular weight loss. This 7-Day Body Cleanse by Arbonne will definitely be a part of my weight loss routine. I plan to use it once every 2 to 3 months, after a vacation where I slide into poor eating habits, or when I hit a plateau and need a boost.
