I know I’m a little behind in my posting. But here’s the just if the past 3 days! I continue feel light and clear minded each day. Yesterday was my son’s birthday. I had a meal, I shared a green salad with my mom and could barely finish it! The rest if the day I stuck with the program. I hit a little plateau in the weight loss area but finally dropped one more pound yesterday which means nothing to me since I am down 6 inches in my waist, thighs and arms! 3 of those inches in my waist! Yesterday, I went to the restroom and when I looked in the mirror there was a little bit of light passing through my thighs !! (I swear I heard angels singing at that moment,) Now I know other females will understand that this is like some sort of benchmark! At least for me, I can’t remember the last time I could see that light! YAY!!!

Hawaiian Urban Sky
The Andagi Story
We all know that whether you are Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, or Chinese, that you have a mother,grandma or aunty that makes THE BEST squid luau, pancit, ozoni, or jin dui on THE PLANET. Now, the same goes for Okinawans and their andagi (a golden brown deep-fried orb of a donut made from flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and baking powder). One day, a friend of mine who we shall call Lisa, said she had a funny story to tell me about her husband. She told me that her new husband was reminiscing about his mother who had passed on years ago.
“I wish I could make andagi the way mom did,” he said.
So excited to hear this, Lisa said, “Oh! My boss’s wife has a REALLY GOOD andagi recipe!”
GASP!! Oh no, she didn’t go THERE!!!
Halfway through her sentence, I was already laughing. Being half Okinawan myself, I knew the golden rule: EVERY Okinawan person has a family member that makes THE BEST andagi. You can tweak it in secret but never ever admit to using the recipe of another. NEVER!
Back to our newlyweds. So after hearing Lisa’s very well-meaning suggestion, her husband replied, “OH NO! My mom had THE BEST andagi recipe!” He went on and on about how it wasn’t too oily, it was delicious, and she could make it the PERFECT size and shape!
I won’t be offering my mom’s andagi recipe to Lisa and her husband, even though it is THE BEST ON THE PLANET!!
DAY 5: HALF WAY THERE!
Although I had no weight loss today, I took measurements and I have lost a total of 6″ off of my waist, thighs and arms. WOOHOO! Last night I went to a bridal shower and there were some fresh fruits and veggies. I did have a tiny portion of edamame rice. Surprisingly, I didn’t crave any more than that even though that edamame rice was SO ONO!! I used to have a hard time getting up at 6 am, now my eyes pop open at 5 am and I am already wanting to start being productive!
DAY 3 & 4: MORE ENERGY!
My Purium cleanse journey continues. I’m down one more pound. I tried on some old pants that hadn’t fit for a while and now they fit perfectly! I feel lighter, clearer and I have a lot more energy! I feel much more productive at work. I’ve been eating flex foods a couple of times a day, I like having a little sea salt on my cucumber slices. Physically and mentally lighter, I am happier and healthier! My mind and body are no longer a place to throw trash, only high vibrational thoughts and high vibrational nutrients!
DAY 2: 2 More pounds lost!
HOLY SHMOLY! More energy and less calories. Just to keep it real, it does take some discipline, especially if you did the dumb thing and started on the weekend. It was easier than Day 1. This time I added some almond milk to make it a little creamier. Now my green drink is REALLY ONO!! Down a total of three pounds. DAY 3- BRING IT!!💪
DAY 1: My 10 Day Transformation
I usually run away from multi-level marketing products but when I saw how my friends have been transforming their health by feeling more energetic, getting off insulin, losing weight, and just becoming healthier overall, I just had to give it a try! So this in my reset button to clean out toxins, reset my metabolism and keep up with my two boys.
So far I have just completed my first day. The first dose of aminos made me feel nauseous. I ate some fruit from the flex food list and immediately felt better. The rest of the day was a breeze. The beautiful green powder is full of pure, green, veggie goodness and DELICIOUS! In the evening the Apothe-Cherry drink is what I consider dessert. It’s a tart cherry drink you take before bed. I slept soundly and this morning, I must say, I feel lighter and clearer and lost one pound. DAY 2, HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!
Introducing…..AKI!!!!
