After I had Tessa
Tessa, my little Valentine
Well, a few months after I had her I joined a WATER challenge. With the beachbody group. A challenge to drink one gallon of water a day! I usually drink lots of water but had been slacking... Doing this fun Free challenge got me motivated to do more...
But, I was not yet ready to spend SO much money on a SHAKE!!!! I am not Cheap, I am frugal... I think!! :)
I had not had a battery in my scale, I priced one out and it was almost the same price as a new scale. Got a new one at walgreens for $9.00.... frugal?
WOW! The baby weight that normally sheds itself was not nearly as gone as I thought it would have been! Uhoh! So I did want to do something Different to lose weight. By different I mean, I actually needed to DO something... maybe in my age my metabolism is slowing down, or just because baby weight from 1,2,3, and 4 would not come off on its own with number 5.
I decided to just give the 5 Day shake Sampler pack a try. For Monday I had the shake for lunch. That was my lunch. Bad idea. Since I am used to eating LUNCH. So Tuesday I decided to replace my Breakfast with a shake! Since, I rarely eat breakfast... I had my coffee and then my shake. Then ate as usual. Except I WAS NOT CRAVING sweets!
My husband brought home a cheese cake on Wednesday! I was like 'why did you buy this' I am on This Shake thing!!!! Anytime I see cheesecake, or cookies, or bake with the kids everything is GONE! Gone because I ate it all! But, not this time. The cheesecake actually sat in the fridge for a full day. Then I had one small slice, since my husband got it for me and I do enjoy cheese cake, it was good. I did not go back for seconds. I ate ONE slice and no more.
This was very different for me as I usually devour sweets.
Well after that 5 days of shakeology I lost 7 pounds. All I did was replace ONE meal with a shake.
NOW I have signed up as a Beachbody coach. FOR the discount.... but I am so excited about it I want to tell people about it and hope they will feel the same way I did! Hope to 'track' my 21 day journey!
This is my second day TODAY! Now I am doing a 30 minute workout in the morning along with my shake and using the beachbody eating suggestions... I am not measuring to a T yet, but starting out slowly... I want this to be a Lifestyle change for me and not just some quick change that only lasts for a few days on a month. ALSO, I am still nursing so that is calories gone as well, I feel safe drinking this shake and I know it is healthy! I am doing the work outs at a MODIFIED, modified version since I am recovering from a back injury.
Cant wait to post more blogs about this! If you are interested go to .....My Beachbody Site
