Welcome!

Welcome to my newest blog! I want to share with you the details of my weight loss and fitness journey. Late last August I made a commitment to lose weight and live a more healthy lifestyle. In July I went to the doctor and found out I had very high blood pressure. We are talking 150/110. I was severely overweight and needed to lose 35 pounds. He also prescribed high blood pressure medication.

30 days later I went back for a follow up visit and my doctor repeated the mantra. I had to lose some weight. It was vital that I improved my diet and began to exercise. It was about this time that our friend, Lindsey Gaines, introduced me to Shakeology by Team Beachbody. I knew about Team Beachbody as they had produced the Insanity and P90X videos. I did not know anything about Shakeology.

In a nutshell, Shakeology is a meal replacement shake that provides several nutritional benefits. Lindsay talked to me about how Shakeology helped her to lose some weight while giving her increased energy. She had recently signed up to be a Team Beachbody Coach, and she was selling Shakeology. What was really cool was how Lindsey talked about the team of coaches she worked with. They would provide tremendous support and guidance.

Despite her best efforts, I was pessimistic at best. I didn't really buy into or believe the hype. I had tried dozens of other shakes and none of them delivered what they promised. But after tossing it around for a few days, I decided to go all in. I ordered a 30 day supply of Shakeology and a 3 Day Refresh Challenge Pack. The three day refresh would help to clean out my system and help me to develop some positive eating habits. The only thing I had to do was wait... patiently... for my order to arrive...
