Shakeology Day 2 & 3 Final Results!!

I'm sorry I didn't post my results right away! I had it in draft form and didn't publish it! Grr! Silly me. Anyway, I ended up losing a whopping 5.2 pounds during my 3 day cleanse. It was an easy cleanse to do, because for the most part I didn't feel "starved". The first day was by far the hardest day, mostly mentally getting over any cravings I may have been exposed to. Other than that, pretty darn easy, compared to other cleanses I've done before. I did another cleanse about 1 month prior to the Shakeology one but on that one I felt so starved, completely famished and couldn't stick to it. With Shakeology it was different, way more satisfying and tasted way better!

So there are my results, sorry it took me so long to get them posted. My life in and of itself has been a bit hectic and crazy. I just may post about that stuff later, we'll see.

Hope to see you soon!

Day 1 Shakeology Cleanse

Ok, so after day one of my Shakeology, I lost 1.4 pounds! I was hoping to lose more, but I cheated a bit. So I'm still pretty happy that I lost that much! I did extremely well, didn't feel too hungry and the fact that I got to eat some "solid" foods helped tremendously. My cravings were greatly diminished and I didn't crave the normal "junky" food I usually do.

I posted a YouTube video about it here that you can go watch...

I will update later on my Day 2 results.

You're a Smelly Pirate!

So the title is synonymous with how I look right now. I just got done doing TurboFire 30 and 10 minute stretch class. So I'm nice and sweaty, therefore decided to write a blog! Hehehe!

I've been doing great with my workouts. Last week I worked out Monday thru Friday, every day with a mixture of Chalean Extreme and TurboFire! I also started drinking Shakeology which I've been taking for 6 days now and already I'm feeling a difference. I have more energy to finish my workouts and my recovery after workouts already seem to be much better. Oh yeah and I'm down 2 pounds, so I'm feeling amazing.

Let me tell you a little bit about my experience with TurboFire so far. All I gotta say is HOLY FRICKEN CRAP it's kicking my butt!! I would NOT recommend this program for anyone who is just starting a workout regime. This stuff is definitely for more seasoned/experienced exercisers. But let me just say that if there is anyone out there who has been working out for a while and have hit a plateau or are just getting bored with your workouts, TurboFire will break thru that slump in no time. They use the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) programs, which is what athletes are now using to train. HIIT programs are extremely effective and rev up your metabolism like crazy! But you aren't suppose to do them two days in a row, because you need to let your body recover and in that recovery you will still be burning calories from the original workout. If you wanna check it out, go to my web site or you can check it out at teambeachbody.com.

So my eating has got way better. Mostly it's because I am tracking every single thing I eat. That is extremely key in weight loss. Keep track of everything you put in your mouth. Food journals can be helpful to gauge how you feel after you eat food, tired, bloated, full, satisfied, still hungry, etc. What I've learned throughout my trials and tribulations with weight loss is that eating every 2 and a half to 3 hours helps me keep cravings away because I don't get so ravenously hungry that I can't control what I eat or crave. That's the other great thing about Shakeology is that my cravings for crap food have really diminished (another wonderful side effect to this powerful shake). 

So, I'm off to shower now. I hope all this info is helpful and maybe it will help someone get motivated to take control of their weight, diet and overall health. I think we ourselves deserve the best, but to get the best and be the best you have to earn it.

Peace out!!
