[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!

Our people think that I am slightly more durable than a porcelain doll, and marginally more athletic than a jumbo-sized marshmallow. Personally, I’d always kind of considered myself as an athletic, outdoorsy person, but after spending these last three days trekking...

First Day of School

We had the first Iski-language literacy class the other day! The school day started out like you might expect, everyone smiling and excited, all the students dressed in their best clothes, and the entire population of our village lined up in the “town square” to shake...

Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda

Dear Mom and Dad, I wanted to write you a heartfelt e-mail, letting you know that we made it back into the tribe, but I also really needed to get a blog post out before the weekend is over. Being as I am on the cusp of death as I type, I don’t think I’ll have time to...
