So back to my facebook post, I had a lot of people answer me and message me interested, wanting to lose weight or just get healthy but no one would commit. I couldn't figure that one out but oh well, I was going to try it and slowly change the way I was doing things.
Not sure of the exact date but probably the 3rd of June (I had the tough mudder on the 2nd and stayed out of town for it so I know I didn't have it that day) I started adding it in to my breakfast. I didn't cut out my breakfast but added it to it. Thinking I wasn't going to be concerned with calories, if it's that healthy for me I should just do it.
Probably not even a week into it I started to feel less bloated for sure. It felt good (and I think I was starting to get a bit of energy as well.) I also started to snack less at night and realized I was starting to want "better for me" foods. My rationalization for this was that probably my body wasn't used to getting such dense nutrition and adjusted, recognized the nutrients and started wanting more.
Now I always have been and always will be a snacker and probably not the best eater. Even so, after week 2 I cut out all breakfast except shakeology. Brought a few late morning snacks with my lunch to work (usually nuts, yogurt, fruit and/or granola bar) By dinner I am always hungry (this is no different) but I really wasn't craving a lot of fat and junk as usual. And at night, although I still have a snack it's not out of control.
I definitely feel good, I have energy and think I'm sleeping better (or it could just be that my kids are and in turn I am) I feel strong and healthy. I like this feeling.
And here I am, about a month into this and I've lost 10 lbs (yes!) 10 lbs and I don't feel like I"m starving myself, I have energy and continue with my workouts (I've always exercised, now is no different)
So I'm going to be posting again on my facebook wall after the holiday (today is the 4th of July) and ask where all those people are today. 30 days ago they told me they wanted to lose weight and get/feel healthy. 30 days have gone and I have done all of that (I still would like to lose 10 more lbs and will do it!) I am wondering if everyone else is still in the same place. Wishing they would lose weight, hoping they'll feel better, wanting more energy but just not committing themselves to anything to get it.
Let's hope this month is their turning point. I know I'm not going back, I plan to have shakeology in my daily meal intake forever. Totally worth the $4 daily investment (shoot, I'd spend more on just the vitamins that are in the drink, let alone another breakfast!)
