[Below are a few entries from when I first started dabbling with Plexus.]

Day 1

Alright…let’s see if this “pink drink” is all that they say it is…
I’m starting off with an easy 40 extra lbs around my middle, chronic insomnia, and constant general fatigue. A nutritionist-in-training friend swears by this stuff, so I’m taking the plunge!

Day 3 update:

Soooo…this is a shockingly pleasant development. I have dropped 4 lbs in three days since starting my Plexus regimen and becoming an ambassador!

And, to clarify, my weight does NOT typically fluctuate (especially in the downward direction!). The only times I have ever dropped weight like this have been when I had dysentary in the tropics or Lyme in the States!

On top of the weight loss, I have also had WAY more energy this week! Like, I’m kind of dumbfounded at how good I have been feeling the past few days. I was gearing up for a long-haul before I started seeing results with Plexus, so this is super exciting!

Week 1 update:

After just 1 week of our Plexus regimen, I’ve lost almost 5 lbs (without exercise)! In fact, I’m so happy with how well it is regulating my blood sugar and metbolism (no more sugar cravings or “munchies!”), that we have started two of the boys on a half dose of it as well!

My daily energy continues to be amazing, and though I still wake up for an extended period each night, I am finding it easier to fall asleep initially. My 3 AM wakefulness seems to have lost the restlessness that used to accompany it as well. And that’s just after one week!

Come on, Plexus baby steps, bring me to good gut health!

Week 3 update:

We’ve been having such good results with Plexus that we’ve decided to let two of the boys start taking a half dose of Slim each morning. One of them is looking to stabilize his mood swings (blood sugar) & the other is hoping to join his old man in dropping some weight!

Adding Plexus to our family has been such a game changer with our health!

Pestilence, Pottery, and A Bug

I’ll be honest, I’m a little tubel* concerning what I should be writing about right now. You see, this last weekend I was sick, which always spurs my creative muse into action.** I also created my very first piece of pottery, which (though it is small, irregularly...

Pros and Cons

There are a few pros and cons to living in a remote jungle village. Yes, I know there are pros and cons in any given circumstance in life, and usually it’s more an issue of our perspective of a situation that determines its “pro” or “con” status more than the actual...

A Night At The Movies

As our teaching time draws nearer,* we have been looking for ways to help our Iski friends and neighbors engage with, and process, new information. If this seems like an inconsequential thing to you, that’s because we often take for granted the EXORBITANT amount of...
