Why I Chose Shakeology...

As a mom of 2, I am all for making my life easy.  Especially while they are still so little and always seem to tag-team each other for needing my attention.  Kids need warning labels stating they eat, poop, and demand mommy attention....  All. The. Time.

Moms, can I get an "Amen"?
But seriously, I love my kids.

And then having a husband who works nights and sleeps all day means I am with them almost 24 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.  I am not claiming Single Mom status here, just stating that my life revolves around baby dolls and "Frozen" as of late, and finding time to eat is a lot harder now.

So I had to find easy.  And FAST!  I tried frozen meals (can I say "Ick"?) and a lot of the ready-made meals were so high in calories or sodium that I felt that not eating was healthier compared to eating that junk.  I have tried GNC shakes and the ones you can easily find at Wal-Mart....  but I still felt hungry, sluggish, and blah (my Mommy-technical term).



What to do, what to do?

HELLO Shakeology!!!!!  I was introduced to this by a friend (and my own Beachbody Coach!) and I admit, I was skeptical.  I had already tried a bunch of meal replacement shakes and now I was supposed to shell out $$$ on yet another one?  Ummmm.... ok?

I can sum up the experience in 3 words - BEST IDEA EVER!!!  Finally I have a meal in a cup that I not only look forward to eating but actually has proven itself.  How, you ask?

Well, I took the shake for 10 Days as part of a Challenge.  I had energy, I didn't have sugar cravings, and I wasn't hungry after replacing a meal with it.  Then I went off it for almost 2 months.  And I saw a huge difference.  I was eating bad again, I wanted sugar foods all the time, I just felt icky.

When I talked to my husband about it, he told me to get back on it if I felt better.  I did just that.  And then asked him if he was interested in trying it.  At first I got this look like I was insane.  Till he saw that my weight loss journey was actually doing better now that I was back on it, and then he said "ok, I'll try it."

He has been on it for a month now and he swears by it.  My Marine husband, who has tried tons of supplements and meal replacements now swears by Shakeology!  He feels better when he takes it every day, especially after his morning workout before he goes to bed.



So perhaps you are wondering what is in Shakeology.  I know I am all about the facts.  Thankfully there is a comparison chart already made up with all of the nutritional information about Shakeology versus the other leading meal replacement shakes out there, including the ever popular GNC, MediFast, Slim by Vi, and Advocare.  Take a look:

Do you see the difference?!  I not only see the difference, I feel it!  I get all the nutrients that I miss in a normal day.  I know I don't eat enough veggies and fruits, and I know I am not getting the vitamins and minerals that I need in just my food.  I don't even take a vitamin anymore.  Why bother, it is all there!!
