[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!

Comparing life in the bush with life back in one’s home country is generally an unwise and unhelpful thing to do. The comparison will always be biased towards the culture and living situation of your home, and it can sometimes cause one to feel a slight amount of...

This last Friday, as I sat at my desk with smoke coming out of my ears from all the mental circuits that had recently been fried attempting to learn the Iski language, I thought up an analogy of my situation. It’s not a perfect depiction, by any means, but to my...

Bananas Part – 2

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post bemoaning the fact that we hadn’t gotten fruit on the last heli flight that came in, and we weren’t going to have an opportunity to get more for several more weeks. Even though I was being kind of whiny and pathetic about the whole...
