Why Shakeology?
After giving birth to my 3rd child I found myself in a mommy funk. Having three
babies in the course of 3 or 4 years was a whirlwind. In and out of pregnancy I
was able to find and achieve fitness goals, but never able to pursuit them to
my best ability. Now that my childbirth journey has ended, I'm seeking out a
healthier, fit version of myself.
I don't consider myself a runner. I consider myself an athlete. I love being
active, but it has not come naturally to me. Back in high school, I was the
girl at the end of the finishers for the mile run. I remember how I would dread
the day we ran the mile. My finish was always over 12:00. I didn't even run the
entire mile. I would have to take breaks and walk along the way. In my newlywed
stage of life I decided to get fit, and found an interest in running. I joined
Weight Watchers to shed my extra weight, and ran my first 5k race. I finished
my race at 27:50 and never thought I would see a day that I could be successful
at running later in life.
I found a love of running, and a love of being fit and spending time outdoors.
I'm ready to rediscover myself physically and be successful in my journey.
Having three young children is exhausting. I find myself tired at the end of the day.
I can usually keep up with my kids just fine, but I'm always trying to stay
awake throughout my day. I'm a full-time, working mother. Although I'm doing
well to watch my eating patterns, I have found myself to be a snacker
throughout the day.
One day at work I stumbled on a couple of coworkers raving about Shakeology.
Of course I was not familiar with Shakeology. I needed them to explain. After
our conversation, I decided to read a few online articles and do my homework.
What I found sounded too good to be true.
What was stopping me from trying Shakeology?
Well, the price.Why is it that things that are good for us, usually have a higher price tag? I'm
not quite sure why the world works this way, but regardless I decided it was
time for me to take the plunge. I needed to start feeling like the mother I wanted to be. I really have high hopes for the product.
What were my first steps in my Shakeology journey?
Well, I decided to sign-up as a Beachbody Coach so that I could save the most money
on the product for the long run. I will explain more about this decision in another blog post on the subject.
Why blog about your journey?
I decided that it would be nice to have a blog to journal my progress. As I did a
lot of my online research it seemed like it was hard to find direct answers to
my questions on the product that were not straight from their website. I wanted
a "real" opinion from a "regular" person like myself. Since I was unable to find that resource, I decide to journal my journey so you can read for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
I hope you enjoy my blog and reading about my adventures with Shakeology.
I have high hopes for the product and hope that I see positive results.
