So I had a really good start to my day. First I jump on the scale (because I'm a scale whore and I can't help it) and i'm down 1.4 lbs from yesterday morning!! Then I measure my waist and i'm down another 3/4 inch from about 4 days ago! I don't know if the shakeology really works that well or what but I'll absolutely take these results and run with them. I just hope I can keep up something like this in a few weeks when I start getting bored with my workouts. My father in law and his friend have decided to do a marine daily workout (cause they were BORED...psychos) so they're dragging me along to that a few times a week and maybe a weight night thrown in just for more FUN so they are my accountability for the moment. I hope they can give me momentum when mine runs out.

P.s. Add a little banana and coconut milk to chocolate shakeology and it tastes slightly less like butt. Definitely a good morning. Off to push play now and get my Slim in 6: Ramp it up done.

Starting over....no, for real this time. Seriously...

Hmmmmm, any point in actually writing this, seeing as how I leave it for over a year? We'll see. 

Today I'm starting shakeology in another desperate attempt to lose weight. I have a serious focus now so I'm willing to spend hundreds of dollars on some shakes that taste like butt.....this had so better be worth it. 

I'm hoping the shakeology will jump start the actual weight loss because I need to lose lbs. I know people say that the tape measure is all the matters, but unfortunately for me the lbs matter more. My goal is to join the air force by spring of next year and for my height (they claim I'm 5'3" even though every doctor I've been to says 5'4") I need to be 155. So I'm giving myself until the end of the year to complete my goal. That's putting me at losing .53 lbs per week. Doable right? (if i calculated correctly, feel free to correct my if I'm wrong, lol). 

The exercise program that I'm using is Slim In 6 for the moment. I've been doing it for around 12 days so far, and I've actually lost 3/4 inch off my waste and 1/2 inch off my arms but no weight loss so far. I just bounce between 199 and 201.

 I started my morning with a glass of lemon water followed by the foulest tasting chocolate flavored thingy I've ever had. I used water and vanilla activia because I don't have a blender for anything else (believe me that's going to be the next thing I'm buying). The scale read 199.8 when I got on it first thing this morning and my goal is to be down 10 lbs this month (because the first bit of weight is usually the easiest if you start hard and fast). A lot a of first time shakeology users say they lost upwards of 5 lbs their first week on this stuff, so I might even be able to beat my goal. 

So, here I go. I'm going to try to update at least twice a week including a weekly weight in and measure, but I might mange every day because I'm going to use this as sort of a food journal as well to keep me some what accountable.

Please feel free to comment. I don't bit and I would definitely appreciate support or words or wisdom or constructive criticism.
