[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!

 

The Sad Side of Success

The Sad Side of Success

I have been able to drop about 15 pounds since arriving back in our village a month and a half ago. Having spent a fair bit of time on the “husky” side of the scale lately, it’s been nice to finally see a bit of movement in this other, less blubbery, direction. I...

Awake, Oh Sleeper

Awake, Oh Sleeper

Not everyone knows this about me, but I have insomnia. It first started right about the time we arrived in PNG and began our language study in 2015, and it has been going strong ever since. Now, I know that correlation does not equal causation, but I am a Millennial,...

Missional Misconception #1 (Support Figures)

Support. If there was ever a word that was surrounded with misconception and confusion in the missional realm, it is that one. Anyone who has ever worked for a faith-based* mission organization has inevitably had more than their fair share of confusing conversations...
