Day 1 - Shakeology Cleanse & Vegas Vacation!

 

Shakeology Cleanse Day 1

We got back and I had the weekend to recuperate.  I was up to 170 when we got back and after two days of Shakeology and healthy eating (minus the wine festival I went to) I’m back down to 164.  I still want to lose more and I really need to get back on track.  Therefore, today I started the Shakeology Cleanse.  This consists of 3 Shakeology Shakes, 2 glasses of green tea, 1 and ½ pieces of fruit, and a salad with grilled chicken or white fish.   My Beachbody coach suggested that I don't workout while doing the cleanse because of the lack of calories.  Instead, do something that is less demanding such as a walk or yoga. 

Day 1 of the cleanse is going well.  I was hungry this morning after my shake and a banana.  This afternoon I had a shake at 1pm and 4pm and had about 5 strawberries at 2:30.  I wasn't hungry this afternoon.  I got hungry when I got home.  I grilled chicken on the grill and make a spinach salad with tomato, onion, cucumber, and carrots. I also had my second cup of green tea!

I'm not going to lie the only time I was hungry was in the morning between my morning shake and my banana.

Two more days to go!! I think tomorrow I will try to do yoga or go for a walk.

Vegas Vacation!

Today is Day 1 back to work after vacation.  I went to Vegas from Oct. 12-17^th!  It was a great time; however my stomach paid the price.  You’d think it would be my wallet since I was in viva lost wages!!  While there I definitely splurged on my food and alcohol consumption, but hey, it’s Vegas BABY!!  I was able to workout three out of the five days - Thank you Shawn T – I love T25!!!

If you have never been to Vegas I would definitely suggest going.  Make sure you take good walking shoes because you walk a lot.  There is so much to see and do in this town.  We walked from casino to casino and visited about 6 in one day!  You can also catch the bus and go down to Fremont Street (Old Vegas), which is one of my favorite places to visit when I am there.  Mark won $400 while we were in Old Vegas!! The odds are much better for you to win!! We also saw a comedian while we were there - Willie Farrell (not to be confused with Will Farrell).

It was a great vacation, happy to be home, sad to be back to work!
