Hi there blog land!! Remember me? Ricci? HA!

Yeah…sorry about my little absence last week. I had a death in my family, a holiday weekend, plus me being off work for more than two days in a row just left me feeling pretty uninspired to blog. Sorry about that!

This is totally random but I am SICK and TIRED of all of the rain!! I usually don’t mind it but seriously? It has rained every single day that I have been off work. I would really like to go outside and soak up some good ole Vitamin D. Gah…

On a happier note I have gotten to spend a lot of time with my friend Elizabeth whose wedding I am in next April! She is moving this week and I am super sad about that!! Last week I got to go with her a look at her final venue (it’s gorgeous!) and even go to go cake tasting with her…YUM!!

We also did a little shopping and I found this fab maxi dress at Forever 21!!

Here’s a little confession for you….since I started Plexus I have been super excited about all of the products but you know what? I am human and I make mistakes. So this is me confessing to you that I haven’t been drinking my water like I should and I have been eating out more often and not counting my calories.

So after my amazing 4.5 lb drop in three days I have only lost one more pound. It’s my own fault. But I do believe in the products and I do believe that every day is a new day and that I WILL DO BETTER. So for the next month I am going to do my very best to stick with my eating plan and drink all of my water the way I should and hopefully next time I can report a good healthy loss! I guess it’s good that I maintained instead of gained right? There is always a silver lining…

On a more positive note…I started the Plexus X-Factor multivitamin last week and I absolutely LOVE it!! I take it in the morning with my Slim. I feel like it gives me a little boost of energy that my usual multivitamin didn’t give me.

Plexus Convention is this week (I didn’t get to go since I’m such a new ambassador…BOO) and they officially launched a new product, Boost, that I have been on since I started my Plexus journey. It is an alternative to the Accelerator and I really love it!! It is a great appetite suppressant, diuretic (no wonder I spend all day in the bathroom!), and really gives me the energy boost I need to get through my day. I take one with my breakfast and one at lunchtime. If you have taken Plexus before and took the original Accelerator and didn’t like it then you should definitely try Boost! Ask me how!
