Our Health Journey

OK, so I’m a slow starter, both to the blog and to our new Cinch diet. However, like the Tortoise and the Hare, I’m in it for the long run. Because I’m older, the 10 pounds that I want to loose may take me longer, but only because, they’ve been with me for some time now. For at least the past 15 years or more, I have weighed the same. Though I may weigh the same, some of that weight has shifted so, it will be interesting to see just how and where I loose the weight and inches. I would not go on just any diet from just any company. I know and trust Shaklee. I have used Shaklee products for 14 years. I know that the best of science is behind the Cinch products. Shaklee’s Cinch products are “Powered by Leucine” which helps you to maintain lean muscle while the inches melt away. At my age, I cannot afford to lose muscle nor do I want to slow down my metabolism. My plate is too full to not have the energy to enjoy my daily life. I want to remain flexible with my plan so that I can enjoy my lunches out with my friends and that I can entertain guests.

When I started a few days ago, I thought the shakes were too much for one meal and I cut them in half. I have returned to the full portion because I realize that I should not tamper with a good thing. Tomorrow, I will have two shakes, one for breakfast, one for lunch along with a Cinch 3 in 1 boost and water. I will follow exactly the guidelines for the dinner amounts and the snacks if needed. I have taken my measurements and have decided not to measure again until a month has passed or when I have lost the 10 pounds.

Exercise is important to maintaining good health. When it comes to dieting, it is essential. When I was younger, I use to run and ride my bicycle. I stopped running in the early nineties due to health problems. As my health improved, I started walking. Exercise has always been a part of my day so not a problem but, I may increase the time that I spend walking. Speaking of exercise, this is Spring house cleaning time and I am up for it. I trust the Cinch products to protect my energy level as I work my way through the house.

I’m looking forward to the results that the weeks to come will bring. However, like a seasoned traveler, it’s not the destination but the journey. I’ve always enjoyed both!
