1 Week on BBV

Its been one week since I started supplementing with body by vi shakes and I am pretty happy with the results so far!  4 pounds down in one week.  Not too shabby for a girl who has yet to get to the gym...  I swear it's happening tonight, haha.  I feel like I have to give you a reason and this mornings was laundry.

You see, for the last two months I've been running around with my head cut off.  Constantly running to and from, hardly being home.  Things have piled up.  Things that used to be important to me.  Things like laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing things till they shine.  In the last two months I've thrown 2 baby showers, a birthday party, helped plan and participate in a wedding, dealt with school stuff, and gotten sick with strep throat.  I had a mini meltdown in there somewhere as well.  I felt so overwhelmed I wanted to leave my life and go stay in a hotel for 3 days or until I felt better.  It passed.  I stayed, lol.  It was because of all this that I decided to fully change my life.  I'm tired of running around sacrificing my self care to people, even though I love them dearly.  It's time for me to love myself.  Working out is a huge part of loving myself, and I absolutely cannot wait to get into a good routine at the gym.  Anyways, this morning I woke up plenty early to go to the gym.   BUT I had no clean clothes and the house really needed some attention.  So I had a couple cups of coffee and cleaned my house.  I'm sure I burned a few calories and used a few muscles.

Brannon is making me go to the gym tonight.  So I will be going.  You know, because I actually have clean clothes to wear.

Almost a week in!

Almost a whole week on my shakes and things are going great!  I’m loving the taste of them… Seriously, I crave my shakes.  Remember, I’m not selling these shakes, Visalus is not paying me to write what I’m writing.  I’m not even buying them directly from Visalus yet.  I purchased mine on Amazon.  No use paying full price for something I wasn’t even sure I would like.  I seriously love these shakes and the way they make me feel.  I recently switched from 2% milk to Almond milk for the calorie reduction and OMG… I love Almond milk.  It makes the shakes taste even more like cake!  Today I had my shake mix plus the orange defense add in and it tasted like one of those orange loaf cakes from Wal-Mart.  I ate like a hungry baby, I think I was even making noises like one haha! 

I have lost nearly 5# since I started these shakes.  This weekend was rough because I developed strep throat and had a fever most of the weekend.  I really wanted to get into the gym but it just didn’t happen.  I’ve been on antibiotics for 3 days and I’m feeling much better… I’m planning on swinging by the gym and completing my registration, getting my key card and working out for a bit.   I’m going to start off easy tonight because I’m going to start my morning gym routine tomorrow first thing. 

Feeling good so far, I’m trying not to get too ahead of myself on seeing progress.  This isn’t a race, this is my life!!  Took more than a day to put on, and it’s going to take more than a day to come off!!

Day 4 & Weigh Day!

It's my first official weigh day!  I've only been on the challenge for 4 days, I haven't been to the gym yet.  I was supposed to make my return yesterday but life got in the way!  I didn't wake up until 8:15am!  My phone was on silent, just so ya know, I'm supposed to be at work at 8!  If I didn't work out in the morning, I knew I wouldn't be able to yesterday evening, my husband picked me up after work and we road tripped to Tulsa for a concert.  We didn't get home until 2am, so gym this morning was out.  I'm glad I made it to work on time though!

Okay, without further adieu my weight loss for this week is 2#!

Day 1: 251.2
Day 4- Friday Weigh day: 249.2!

Even though I'm very tired, I do believe I will hit the gym for a bit this evening!  Between myself and my friend Meredith at Discovering the New Me, I've got a pretty good Fit Bitch Mix to work out to! Also, I got my official BBV Shape kit in the mail with the flavor add ins... I LOVE IT!  I added the Strawberry Phyto Powder to my shake mix and it tastes like a strawberry cupcake!

I'm thrilled with my results thus far, and I know it's only going to get better!  I'm making healthy choices and doing this for me!!
