I am not the pushy sales-person type. This is why these home-based businesses have never worked for me. I feel like an ass hole harassing my friends about buying whatever product I am currently pushing. I know my friends appreciate this quality in me. So, therefore, I find myself in a bit of a bind here, because I have found a product that I really like, that I know I can benefit from, and that a lot of my friends would be interested in. So what am I to do?! Do I become the annoying friend on Facebook who posts a new status every day about this awesome new product, forcing people to unfollow me and refuse to try this stuff on principle? No, no, there can be none of that... so here's my solution. I will say what I need to say to promote this stuff right here in my blog. That way those who are interested can learn what they need to know, and those that are not interested can remain blissfully ignorant to various Plexus propaganda.
I have always been very leery about supplements. Those that know me well, know that I try to take good care of my body, avoiding soaps, lotions, antiperspirants, all forms of medication unless absolutely necessary, and processed food (of course I have moments of weakness, I'm only human...). Supplements to me have always fallen under the same category as these things- poison that I will not put into my body. I tried Plexus out of desperation mostly (lets be honest), but also out of curiosity. I have a friend who posted a very inspiring photo of the difference in her body after a few days on this product. I immediately started researching Plexus, curious about if this sort of result was common, and of course how safe the product was. What I saw was, that the ingredients are all natural and that people have nothing but good things to say about the product. Even when I searched for Plexus reviews on the open web, not associated with the actual Plexus website, I found some skeptics of course, but nothing that would make me think twice about putting this stuff in my body. So I decided to give it a try.
I ordered a 7-day challenge pack, which included a 7 day supply of Plexus Slim, and Accelerator. I couldn't wait to receive my order and was excited about the prospects, but I also remained cautious and skeptical. I wanted to give this stuff a fair shot, but I was definitely prepared to be disappointed. My order arrived within the week, and I started with weighing myself and taking my measurements. After all, this was an experiment.
The first day, I didn't notice much of a difference. Which I thought was good. My body is pretty clean inside, and when I do indulge and eat things that are bad for me, my body generally wastes no time in punishing me. Usually in the forms of headaches, tiredness, or stomach aches. I had none of these symptoms while on Plexus.
The second day, I noticed that I did not feel so attached to my normal snack times and I was not having my usual daily cravings for chocolate and various other sweet, bready, creamy things. The third day was when I really couldn't deny it anymore, this stuff was working. First of all, I had a ton of energy and spent the day puttering around the house cleaning everything and getting caught up on laundry. I got more done on this one day than I normally do in an entire week... or even two weeks. We all know I hate cleaning. I had very little appetite all day, and I felt like I had to make a conscious decision to eat. This is amazing to me, because any other day I am completely a slave to my cravings. My cravings rule my life. I feel as if I cant make smart food decisions because my cravings act like the devil and gently seduce me to do naughty things that I shouldn't do. And not fun naughty things either, the kind that leave me feeling fat and depressed and bloated and like I want to lay around the house in my jammies the rest of the day and sulk. To be able to say to myself, "Oh, it is lunch time. Frankly I'm not feeling too hungry, so perhaps I'll just have half a pita and a grapefruit..." Come on! I mean, yes, I eat like that a lot anyway, but usually it sounds something more like this, "Ok, I'm starving, thank God it's finally lunch. I'll have an entire pita and some chips. that's healthy. And when I'm done, I've definitely earned this cookie..." Ok, so this routine is why I am getting NO WHERE in my weight loss *frowny face*.
By day 4, I was feeling slimmer and very confident. I felt like my jeans were fitting better and like my cheeks didn't look so plump. My face cheeks, not my ass cheeks. Four days is not a lot of time, but to spend 4 days not putting any junk in your body, cutting your portion sizes in half, and cutting out virtually all snacks throughout the day, it's definitely long enough to make a difference.
Day 5,6, and 7 continued on this theme, appetite cut in half, no cravings, and no desire to graze throughout the day. I felt very energized and confident in myself. Something I love about Plexus is, it's not made to "target fat cells," or "build muscle 5x faster!" or any other crazy ploys that all these different products on the market promise. All it does is suppress your appetite, so you can essentially get out of your own way. My problems are, without a doubt, eating too much and too often, not having any energy, and not having the confidence that would push me to stick with healthy habits. I do have a lot of healthy habits, but after years of being pretty good to my body and not seeing the results I want to see, I have found myself at a point where I'm starting to feel like there's no hope, and that no matter what I do, it's never going to change anything. I need something that will give me a little kick in the ass, knock me off this plateau I've been stuck on, and just get me moving again. For all that, I am excited to say that I believe Plexus is my solution. At the end of my 7-day experiment, I had lost 3 pounds, 1/2 inch from my waist, 1 1/4 inch from my hips, and 1/4 inch from each of my thighs. I invite you to check out the product for yourself and maybe try a challenge pack like I did. I believe that this product could help a lot of people and I'm excited to be a part of it!
