Shakeology & Beach Body

Ok,
So everyone sees all these infomercials for Beach Body right? These guys are responsible for the p90x program, insanity etc.

I'm a real person, with real weight to lose. For anyone that follows my blog, knows I've been at my diet and workout regiment for about 2 years now. I'm not a phony. I'm a realistic person who has lost as substantial amount of weight, and has gained some of it back. Only 10lbs really but that's enough for me to have an entire meltdown about! 

Going back into my shake program, I couldn't help but have nightmares about the taste of whey protein haunting me again. I've been off my shakes for a while now, and just the very thought of mixing them up again makes me gag. I will NEVER get used to the taste. I guess it's a necessary evil not taste so great, after all I'm used to drinking shit that tastes good. I mean, have you ever tasted an iced vanilla latte before?! I rest my case. 

I've been debating on investing in Shakeology. It's a product made by te Beach Body company and supposedly it tastes like nectar from the gods of protein shakes. I'm skeptical as all fucking hell. I'm a hard sell, so I'm not expecting anything spectacular. I've researched Shakeology for over a year, watched YouTube videos, searched online, spoke to Beach Body coaches, the whole shabang. 

So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I contacted someone that was offering free samples. Although he has yet to mention anything about sending me a free sample, he seems encouraging in the process of weight loss. Which honestly does nothing for me, so fuck him. Sorry man. I went on the site, and I'm not sure how the hell I missed this! 
So they have this deal for $19.95 plus shipping and handling for a sample box. It comes equipped with two chocolates, one vanilla and a green berry packet. Why there are two chocolates I have no idea. Anyway, I'm planning on ordering it this week. I'm seriously considering using the Shakeology shakes instead of the ones I'm on now, IF AND ONLY IF they taste better. 

Let's face it, these shakes aren't going to taste like fucking milkshakes. I can get over most things if the benefits weigh out the cons. Which these protein shakes (whatever brand they may be) do. You get the right amount of protein you need, vitamins and it helps regulate your diet. So spending like $30 at most I think the Shakeology is worth a try. 

Onto the next:

With the ever growing industry of social media, it's been crazy easy for people to connect with one another. I've had a few people connect with me via Instagram that have dedicated their lives to healthy living. These girls are inspiring, real and they motivate me to do more! My friend Trish is currently doing a challenge program from Beach Body. It's the T25 program. The whole idea of this program, is that it's a work out in 25 minutes. Which is really doable I think. 

I'm not going to lie. The first time I did p90x I threw up twice and it was during the warm up and first part of the DVD. So needless to say I wasn't interested! Thank god I was doing it with a friend and didn't have to buy it. He continued and saw great results, but he's a stick and fit! It was too intense for me. So I started researching just like I always do and found reviews about the T25. I'm not committed to it just yet, I'm just tinkering with the idea.



And no, I'm not affiliated with anyone or any product. I'm a REAL person, telling MY STORY. One of the biggest reasons why I started this blog, is because I couldn't find REAL people that weren't biased on their opinions or experience. If you have any interest in reading my blog, I tell you the straight up truth. My truth that is lol. 

Regardless if anyone even follows or reads this blog anymore, it's also a tool to keep me accountable. A healthy mind and healthy body are extremely important. To cut corners and lie would only do yourself harm. 



Anyway, I'll order these "miracle" shakes later this week and let you know how it goes. Step by step as usual! Tomorrow I'll be cranking out my shakes with a blender, and we'll see how that goes!
