Day 2 Shakeology Review

SO yesterday was good! I had all my shakes, 2 cps of green tea and I did have a banana for a snack mid-morning. My baby girl's ceremony was soo cute. I love listening to children sing :) We are going to miss Alyssa's school and her wonderful teachers. She has grown so much. I highly recommend Montessori Schools especially for small children. My kids are intelligent and credit a lot of that to their Montessori Influence.

Anyhow, we went to Hacienda's Mexican Restaurant last nite and I was good. Had a HUGE salad with grilled chicken and maybe 1 tbsp of lite italian dressing. At the end of the nite I had a head ache. Could be lack of calories or could be the stress of events that's happening. So today I'm on day 3 and I'm throwing the towel in.... They took my blender! But its ok because my 2 day cleanse was just as successful! Total of 8 lbs LOST!!!! Go me! So I'm ready to go! And I'm glad I decided to cleanse right before my move. I feel fresh and clean and ready to move forward with my life. Can't wait to see what God has in store next. I may cleanse again after summer is over. Alright I'm gone for now!

Day 1 Shakeology Review

YOWZAS! Yesterday was good. We went to  my daughter's school picnic at Shanklin Park and we had a blast. I drank my cup of green tea in the morning and had my Shakeology on the way to the park. It held me over and I wasn't surprised because this stuff really gives me energy and it keeps me full! So by the time we got back it was time for another Shakeology! I didn't eat fruit yesterday being that it's optional. Also had another cup of green tea mid-afternoon SOOOO for dinner I had a huge salad! I devoured that salad. After I put my kids to bed around 7:40 pm I had my last Shakeology for the day. My husband had the nerve to bring home nachos. I love mexican food of all sorts! I just love it and the aroma was killing me. I was upset. I know he did that on purpose and I was tempted to eat just one nacho, but instead I started to clean like a mad woman and the temptation went away. WHEW~~

So yesterday wasn't bad at all. I got on the scale this morning and WOW! 5 lbs down. I feel so good about that. I feel lighter and the bloating has gone down quite a bit. God help me today. I'm so excited about life!

Busy Life calls for 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Hello Everyone! So life has been even busier this week and it's only Tuesday! The movers were suppose to come this morning, but I guess Thursday. UGH. Anyhow, We went to my dear friend Amy Sunshine's sons baseball game last nite. Lots of fun. Noah is an awesome athlete. He is 7, I think. I would like CJ to play Baseball but his choice is Basketball. CJ enjoyed his time at the ball field and although Alyssa had a good time too, Her Kaleb wasn't feeling so well :(  We freakin love the Roberts. I met Amy Sunshine through my husband who is a Navy Recruiter and Amy Sunshine's husband is an Army Recruiter (BOOOO) jk. LOL. They watched CJ & Alyssa when I was in the hospital giving birth to Brody and again when Dwayne had surgery. Somehow God has blessed me with AMAZING friends and I'm grateful. The kids wanted to play at Amy's house soo bad, but it was already getting late. Alyssa threw a fit for 10 minutes on the ride home! Anyhow, we got home late and I was up til 4 am packing and sorting and I ate piece of cheese at 2am...shhhhh...

SO WHY AM I CLEANSING?!?!


Well I did a SHAKEOLOGY CLEANSE 2 months ago and lost 5 lbs. I didn't follow it to a T for example I didn't drink green tea and I used Almond Milk...oops! I still lost 5 lbs. So this time I am following it to a T! I was going to wait til around June 7th to cleanse because I'm moving and I thought it was going to be hard to eat clean for the next 2 weeks while traveling and settling in. Guess what? I was secretly making an excuse for myself. An excuse to get to GA and ALLOW myself to indulge in greasy yummy southern food! And then by June 7 just flush it out and start clean again. WEll I'm not going to do that. I've been slacking for the past week making more excuses and I'm just DONE! I want to cleanse now and by the time I get to GA which will be this Friday, then I will be cleansed and ready to start fresh! I know its going to be hard trying to unpack and get things in order. But I realized this past week that my diet and exercise wasn't in order and that alone messed me up big time! Someone dared to ask me, "Why do let food CONTROL you?" My answer was, "I always have, but I'm making changes to CONTROL it!" Yes folks! The food devil almost got me! I was ready to let it go for 2 whole weeks! I was really psyching myself up NOT to exercise and EAT whatever! Sorry food devil, I defeat YOU!

Ok enough of that... Here I am at 12:26pm sipping on my second SHAKEOLOGY for the day. I have one more to go, a cup of green tea and a salad for dinner. I feel good. Although, I would rather much have my SHAKEOLOGY with almond milk and natural peanut butter :(  Sacrifices people! I'm gonna do this and get through with God of course. SO here is the meal plan for the
SHAKEOLOGY CLEANSE : This is taken from Mike Karpenko via The Shake cleanse found on Facebook:

Picnic TIme

Happy Friday Yall!!! Ok so my diet was decent I guess.... I was good until I went to my sons school picnic which was held inside due to rain. I LOVE THE RAIN! Kids still had a blast. Here is what I ate:

• oatmeal with flaxmeal and walnuts, 1 cup almond milk
• stawberry protein smoothie
• grilled chicken sandwich served on ww english muffin
• pnut butter shakeology

AND NOW FOR THE BAD PART....

• 2 chicken wings (hey I didn't eat the skin), I picked at some rice that had carrots in it, but it was WHITE rice. gasp! Haven't had that in months! Oh yea, I had a tamale! I don't regret that because I love authentic mexican food and I don't get to eat tamales often. And it was only 1. I was surprised that I controlled myself that much.

I felt bad, but my kids eat pretty good during the week. Except my daughter, we are working with her 2 year old appetite. My boys are pretty good though. So I did slip but I'm not beating myself up. I want my kids to eat healthy, but I don't want them to grow up and resent me for not being a "normal" kid at their school picnic. Funny thing tho, They picked at their food too.

Live and learn! Ok not sure if I will be blogging much cuz we are preparing for our big move! See yA!

Meet My Team :)

Hi Everyone. I want to introduce my team of coaches. Of course I have to introduce my sponsor Coach Leeia I Haven't personally met her, but somehow she keeps me motivated especially when it comes to being an active coach. Soon after Leeia signed me to her team I signed Coach Adriana. She has been my right hand girl when it comes to daily motivation. Haven't met her either, but we are tight! Then I decided to sign  Coach Dwayne, my wonderful Husband to my team. He's not active YET, but he will be. Then I signed Coach Julie, my lovely Mommy.  She loves SHAKEOLOGY and so she signed up to get 25% discount and also because she loves and believes in me :) Then what do ya know! My Husbands lil Sis Coach Becca wanted to get in on getting FIT physically & financially and so she joined my team! Soon after my best friends wanted to support me and get FIT too! That's when I signed
Coach Michelle & Coach Alicia. I've been coaching Missy and she loves Beachbody! Then one day she surprised me and told me her husband was ready to join! That's when I signed Coach Juan to the the team! Without notice Missy became Coach Missy within hours after her husband signed up! Couples getting FIT together...LOVE it! And my latest and greatest coach I signed was my older brother
 Coach Jon!!! He's awesome! Knows a lot about Nutrition and fitness. I'm so happy he joined Team Beachbody!

Feel free to visit their profiles and read how each of us are different and have different goals. But it all comes down to one common factor.....Getting FIT! I love it!

Good Morning! Today I have Cardio Recovery. Whew! Actually I need to squeeze in Plyo Cardio Circuit today since I missed yesterday. I think I'm handling the moving stress pretty well. I guess. Since I've been so busy I've been drinking Shakeology 2x a day. I must say I miss food so I will try to get in all my meals today.

My baby boy is keeping me sooo busy. I am not having anymore kids! It's ok cuz they grow too fast. He's a very clingy baby but he does the cutest things. Anyhow, I'm mailing off another Shakeology sample today. My friend tried both flavors earlier this week and she loved it! She wants her father in law to try so I will get the verdict this weekend.

Ok my planned meals are:

• Shakeology, 1 tbsp natural pnut butter, 1 cup vanilla almond milk
• oatmeal with flaxmeal & walnuts, 5 egg whites, 8 oz h2o
• pork loin, sweet potato, asparagus, 8 oz h2o
• greek yogurt with bare naked granola
• pork loin, asparagus

Im backkkkk

Hello Everyone! Come follow me through my fitness journey and my life as a Stay at Home Mom and Navy Wife... I started a blog back in Feb but totally stopped cuz I was swamped with school, my kids, my life. But I'm back and ready to Blog!

Exciting things happening within the next few weeks....My 5 year old son graduates Kindergarten and my 2 year old daughter graduates from her toddler class at Goshen Christian Montessori School. On top of that We are preparing to move next week to Georgia! We close on May 28th and will be moving into our brand new home. God has been so good.

I've completed 1 round of Insanity and got great results. Lost 26 lbs. in 63 days. Im on round 2 week 4 and have lost 6 more lbs! My goal weight is 145 but I will be happy to reach the 160's for now. Baby steps. Since joining Beachbody I've met so many great people in the community. Very supportive and genuine people. My coach is amazing and she has been a vital role throughout this journey. She inspired me so much and since joining BB I've became a Team Beachbody Coach. I'm helping others get fit and it's so rewarding. I love all my active clients who reach out to me. Little do they know that they inspire and motivate me every day :)

So my blog is up and running. Let's connect and follow me. Although I'm passionate about fitness and Beachbody I also love God and my family. My husband is a Navy Recruiter and I love and support him 100%. I plan on attending Augusta State University this fall to major in Kinesiology with a focus on exercise science and nutrition. Again, this is My plan, but only GOD knows what's in store for me. Either way, I'm ready to get IT.
