Drinking Shakeology...FOREVER!!!

So when I started on this journey over a year ago, I kept thinking, I am going to do this until...and I couldn't set an end date. I didn't know exactly how much weight I wanted to lose. I knew that Shakeology was helping me on my journey. And once I shared that with a few friends and family members, I was so pleased to receive so much support and love. So I kept ordering Shakeology each month, and I kept losing about 10 lbs a month in the beginning, with 5lbs a month after that. And I thought, this is good so I am going to keep drinking Shakeology. I was so shy to tell anyone that I was drinking a shake to help me with weight loss. I could barely tell my husband. It took until I lost about 25 lbs. to say, yes, I drink Shakeology each and every day and it helped kick start my weight loss and helped me on my road to health and fitness. Why was I so shy? I don't know. Fear of rejection or judgment? Now, I could care less if someone thinks less of me because I drink Shakeology. I am so proud to drink it and let everyone know that Shakeology was the KEY to my weight loss transformation.

Then on September 30th, 2013, I made the big jump and said, "I would love to help other people with their health and fitness goals." And that is when I became a coach. Once I signed up to be a coach, I realized that Shakeology is the cornerstone of what helped me kick all my bad habits. Before, I used to say, "Oh, I am working out, that is how I lost the weight." That was only half the story. Drinking Shakeology, usually at lunchtime, helped my feel full, curbed my cravings, help me kick my coffee and sugar addiction and helped my body realize what good nutrition is. Now, that I have been a coach for a year, I can honestly say that my customers who joined me 100% with drinking Shakeology each and every day, in addition to changing poor nutrition habits and adding a healthy dose of exercise have seen the BEST results in my challenge groups. I have at least a dozen or more people who have lost 30+ lbs. lose the weight in a healthy and steady rate by doing this and now many are at their "healthy weight" and maintaining. This is where I have been for several months. Maintaining, which feels great. Who would think that I would have gotten back into a size 8 after 3 kids?

So now when people ask, "Are you still drinking Shakeology?" "Why, yes, of course! Are you still eating vegetables?" Of course you are and so am I. I am choosing to add my superfood dense nutrition protein drink, Shakeology, into my diet well... basically...forever. Because why would I choose to NOT consume something healthy for me?
