The Before Pics... and an After (scary!)
Ok, guys. This is scary business... I want to post some before pics... Here are a few pics taken before I started Turbo Jam, which will always be my first ever workout program. Gee, I may have to pop it in today just to relive good memories lol!

Hello My Chocolate Friend!!!
I haven't done so well on my cleanse. It is the ugly truth. I'm not going to lie and say I finished it... I didn't. *sigh*
But I'm moving on and going to keep working on forming my new habits. I have been loving Shakeology for a month now, and I've been working with the Greenberry, trying new recipes and fruit combos, but thanks to my FedEx buddy... Chocolate Shakeology is here now!
Hello, my chocolate friend!!! Dessert for breakfast?! And it will be the healthiest thing I put in my body?! Oh, yesssss.
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 cup fresh strawberries
Ice
Yum!!! Great way to start my day! Workout... I'm thinking Turbo Fire 30 and Tone 30! Bring it on!

Cleanse Crazy!
So here is the deal, peeps. I screwed up my first attempt at the Shakeology 3-Day cleanse. I have since found out, after beating myself up over it, that this happens to a lot of people. Things like this take commitment and take some serious resistance to our old habits. But no sense falling off a horse and walking away forever...just get back on!
I ate a lot of junk on Sunday with my family, and Monday, when I started my cleanse again, I paid for it. I fell off that horse again...only for a day. Yesterday, I hopped back on and cruised through the day without breaking "the rules" or cheating on the plan! No tummy problems, no hunger, no fatigue... I felt high energy and just great in general. I'm considering that DAY 1 due to the Monday snafu.
Today is DAY 2 of the cleanse. I'm feeling positive and determined to make this work. I have some friends who are doing it too, and the "buddy system" really helps! I can't wait to get back to you with the results! Off to my beloved blender and bag of Shakeology!
UPDATE: I went out of town yesterday and ended up at Subway...where I enjoyed Oven-Roasted Chicken with tons of veggies. And the bread. So I messed up a bit there. Even so, that is ok. Then an upsetting event happened (lets just say I got puffy-eyed big time), and I did a bad, bad thing. I told myself I didn't care. I told myself it didn't matter. I told myself I deserved happiness in a Sonic bag. Only problem is... happiness doesn't come in a Sonic bag, folks. And I knew that!
I won't dwell on my eating catastrophe, but, rather, I will point out a positive... I didn't eat it all. I threw out half of the cream slush. I ate only 2/3 of the Chicago dog. I gingerly ate only 1/2 of the tots. The old me would have woofed it all down. I didn't. And that is still important because it shows I have grown some. I am making progress. Sometimes that is what we need to do. Look at positives even within the negatives. There is always, always something...even if it is small.
