Shakeology: What the HECK is that, anyways?

6:00:00 PM

ok, let’s get something straight right off the bat… I was a skeptic, so I totally understand and probably know what your thinking. Do I really need this shake? I worked out on and off for years, but I always struggled with nutrition. I was in denial. If someone asked I would say I understood what needed to be done, but in reality I was taking bits and pieces of what I read on Instagram to create my plan. Well, needless to say it wasn’t working. I had reached a plateau and nothing was working. So, after some convincing I decided to try it out. After researching and reading all the information on the Shakeology site I chose the chocolate. I needed that quick fix of chocolate everyday to curb my cravings. At the time, i decided not to go with the coaching plan, because I really didn’t think it was going to make a difference. I received my shakeology order and my first shake I blended ice, 1 cup skim milk, banana, and strawberries. I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing. In my shipment was a calendar of 30 ways to mix Shakeology. I love trying new recipes and I wake up every morning looking forward to another shake.

Shakeology helped me lose the last 15 lbs and now maintain my weight. I drink my shake for either breakfast or lunch. You can make it however you would like. Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.

What can Shakeology do for you?
How to use it.

Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.

Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.

Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.

Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.

Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties.

Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.

Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.

It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recomends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements. It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

I love Shakeology because I am a busy parent and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition. It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with the kids and my hectic lifestyle. It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible. If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them. If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.

It's very simple.

Mix 1 scoop of Shakeology with 8 oz. of water. If you like, add ice. Or if you want something more filling and maybe even more satisfying, blend your Shakeology with ice and nonfat, almond, rice, or soy milk. Shakeology dissolves easily, but blending it will give it a thicker, creamier texture. Honestly, when I make my shakeology I always add more than 8 ounces because I think it's too thick! The more liquid you add the thinner it gets!! 😃

Meal Plan 101

4:19:00 PM

Your nutrition and what you eat is crucial to your results. Which is why meal planning is fundamental part of your routine. This will ensure you stay on track and hit your goals faster. The lack of planning can ruin your success.

Let me start by saying that this is a lifestyle change, not a fad diet that you will yo-yo back and forth from. The idea is to basically eat to MORE healthier foods and have them easily available to you. This will be so you are less likely to indulge, because all your food is easy and can be quickly available. Many of us don’t have healthy food in ready-to-eat portion sized servings so we tend to starve ourselves until we get to the point of starvation which leads us to shovel anything and everything into our mouth.

Meal Prepping can take on many forms. You can prep weekly, monthly, ect. I personally prep weekly because monthly is to overwhelming to me. I also like to start out small and work myself up. So I stat buy planning out my snacks, then breakfast, lunches and finally dinner. Well, I guess dinner and lunch go hand and hand for me. I typically make extra dinner to eat as lunch the next day or for two days. This makes for prepping less items.

How we meal prep can also be different for different people. It is really based on preference and time.

First option: You can spend an afternoon, most of us do it on a Sunday because we work Monday - Friday, but it can be done anytime really. After you make your plan for the week, you get started cooking all your meals. I try to keep the meals simple so I can make 3-4 options for the week. I then take my meals and my snacks portion them out into the serving size that fits my goals. Now everything is easy for me to grab, all my lunches and dinners just needed to be heated up when it is time to eat. Some people don’t like this idea because they don’t like the idea of heating up all the meals for the week. But, then some people LOVE it because the rest of their week is so EASY, because it is all done.

Second Option: This option is more about planning and less about cooking. So after you develop your plan for the week you get to prepping. But instead of cooking a ll the meals you focus on cutting your veggies, cleaning you fruit and cooking a few things that will take a while like potatoes, rice, ect. By cutting veggie and things ahead of time, when it comes to cooking dinner you just have to place it all together, it doesn’t require you to prepare everything. I still go ahead and place my snacks in containers or snack bags already in the portion sized i needed so they are easy for me to grab and throw in my lunch. I started setting up alerts on my phone reminding me to pull the meat out two days before i planned on eating it. One day to defrost in the fridge next day to marinate with juices or spices. When I walk thru the door after a long day it is easy to throw it all together and have a hot meal in usually 20-30mins.

While meal prepping remember to follow many of the guidelines on the nutrition page.

7 Tips to Save Money Without Using Coupons

1:44:00 PM

If you are anything like me, you love to save money. I would love to clip coupons because I realize how much money you can save, but realistically I just don’t have the time in my schedule as of now. Over the years, I have learned ways to save money without using coupons. I still use coupons here and there, when I can but I don’t always rely on that. Below is a list of things I do, and would like to share with you. Maybe it will help you save a few bucks.

Buy Meats at Wholesale Prices

A few years ago, I found a place to purchase my meats at a wholesale place. The only down fall is there is not many of these places around. The one for me is an hour from my house, but it is worth the trip. We stock up, when we go so we only need to purchase meats every few months. This can be challenging if you do not have an extra freezer. If you have a place to put an extra freezer, I highly recommend picking up one. It will pay for itself in no time. So at these wholesale places, the steaks, bacon are sold in large slabs. The prices change each time we go, but we spend $2- $3 per lb on average. Our butcher will cut it any way you would like for FREE! Other items are just sold in large boxes, for instance we usually get a 20lb of boneless pork chops for $20. So you can see quickly how much money you can save. Do some research and see if you can find a location near you.

Buy Produce at Wholesale Prices

Produce at the market can be very pricey. I also noticed that sometimes when they have sales or buy one get one, they jack the price up. I purchase my produce from a location called, “Produce Junction.” It is just a wholesale place for your fruits and vegetables. Many items come in larger quantities than I will ever be able to eat. At first I saw this as a issue, BUT as I have learned and tried different things over the years, it no longer is an issue. You can split your order with your family or friends. Or you can meal prep crock pit dinners, or you can just freeze the fruit and veggies for smoothies or snacks, ect. Get Creative!

Purchase your Produce When It Is In Season

If you know when the produce you like to eat is in season, it is much cheaper to stock up or eat it within those particular months. Many times if your items is not in season it could cost significantly more per lb. The reason the price goes up is because it is being shipped from far away so they need to pay for the extra shipping cost.

Make Meals from Scratch!

People get started on a healthy routine and the first thing they do is go out and purchased all these pre-packed frozen foods. Besides the fact that these are not really that healthy for you, they are also a strain on the pocket. It is much cheaper to just make extra food for dinner you can reheat or spend a few hours every month and portion out your dinners or lunch and freeze them for later. Crockpot can become your new best friend.

DO NOT buy more then you need!

I have done this one two many times. I know that if I am hungry and I decide to go food shopping I end up with way more then I went in for. So, what ever you do, do not go food shopping when you are hungry. The best and cheapest way to purchase groceries is to plan out what you plan to eat for the week, and make a list of items you need for those meals. Then when you go shopping do not wonder off the list! The only time I will buy things I do not need is when something is a good deal and I need to stock up, because I don’t want to waste money later on.

Use Loyalty Cards

Just about every card has a loyalty card. Most stores are even making the loyalty cards more convenient. They can save you money for the items that are on sale throughout the store. Depending on the deal it could save you a good bit of money. Many of the loyalty cards allow you to attach e-coupons. As I am walking in the store I will login and do a quick scan for items I planned to purchase. Check them off and then when you check out.. CHA CHING… money saved!

Buy Store Brands

Many store brands are just as tasty as the popular more expensive brands. What we tend to do in my house is, we at least give them a try. If I see something has a store brand version, I will purchase it. Then we can try it and if everyone is in agreeance then we will continue to purchase the store brand of that particular product. Even if it is only a few cents difference, all those cents add up to dollars. That is the way I look at it. One thing to watch out for tho is the ingredients. Sometimes other brands will add fillers and other ingredients you don’t want or need.

I was talking to a woman the other day about this supplement out on the market. It got me thinking. I am not sure how many people know this about me because I didn't really ever talk about it and I somewhat hid it. 😏
