Hello There

Alright, I have always had this dream of starting a blog and today I decided to do it.  I have been doing a lot of things lately that I have always wanted to do but never had the balls to.

A little background about me.....I am 24 years old (almost 25...EEK) and in June of 2013 I walked into a bar with some friends and ended up meeting the man of my dreams.  We met on a Saturday, went out that next Wednesday, and have been inseparable ever since. So cute, I know.  We have a fur baby named Zuma, and we are both equally as obsessed with her, which I didn't think was possible because I am scary obsessed.  In September 2014 he popped the question and of course, I said YES!  We are getting married in March 2016 and will live happily ever after :)

I have always been up and down with my weight and have been on and off with my fitness.  About a month ago, I decided it was time to jump in and not look back.  I have started on my health and fitness journey and I can honestly say that I have never felt healthier, happier and more energized since starting.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Herbalife My Fitness Pal, Counting Calories, you name it, I have tried it.  I have never had long term success because I have never made it a lifestyle change, and some of those products are not realistic to incorporate into your everyday life for the rest of your life.

About a month ago, a Facebook friend (shout out to Laila if you are reading this!) posted that she was starting a Facebook Challenge Group where women post workouts, meals, and motivation and have a place to hold themselves accountable.  I joined the group and was an inactive participant until a few weeks ago.  I took the leap and became a Team Beachbody Coach.  Team Beachbody offers many great products such as Insanity (Shaun T will kick your booty) and p90x.  Those are the more familiar ones that most people know about and illegally download :) But let's talk about 21 day fix and Shakeology....

Shakeology = healthiest meal of the day, hands down, no questions asked.  I have been looking and looking for a protein/meal replacement shake that is packed with all the nutrients I need and that tastes great.  Well, I have found it with Vegan Chocolate Shakeology.  I love it, and I feel healthier since I have started using the product. *BONUS: the fiancé actually likes the taste too*

21 day fix = just what it sounds like.  It takes 21 days to make or break a habit. What's great is that 21 day fix LETS YOU EAT!  It is all about portion control.  When I first read this I was like yeah right, thats crazy, but I have already lost some lb's (WOOHOO!) and I have kicked the soda drinking habit, and I no longer want fast food (ok, maybe sometimes I crave it, but I never actually indulge). You also get a serious 30 minute workout with the videos they send with the 21 day fix food containers.  It may seem like a lot of money out of pocket, but I have already saved so much by not eating out and by planning my meals thoroughly.

That's my shpeal for tonight, and while I doubt anyone is reading this....Thanks for reading :)

xxoo,
