Slim in 6 - Day 4 & Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shakeology

Check out my Shakeology add on the side of the blog ------>

If you know me, I don't like veggies so I thought this ad was perfect!

Today I tried this recipe:

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk

It's pretty tasty too! I'm definitely getting more excited about drinking Shakeology. The chocolate flavor makes if feel like dessert -- for lunch!

I also upped my weights today during the Start it Up! (DVD 1 of Slim in 6) routine. I've been using 3lbs and decided it was time to go to the 5lbs. I didn't want to start with 5, because I wanted to make sure my arms weren't getting too sore that it would hurt to pick up my son. The program says to do Start it Up! until you feel ready to go to the next DVD, Ramp it Up! and I think I might be there. I was definitely sore the first 2 days, but I'm already feeling like the workout isn't hard enough for me. So tomorrow I'm moving on to Ramp it Up!

Slim in 6 - Day 2

I had plans yesterday for a 4 mile run, but life had other plans. We had someone coming over to look at our dryer vent and another vent we heard animals in. Of course he took longer than quoted, so I was only able to do 2 miles. However, 2 miles is better than 0 miles!

I was moderately sore from my first day of Slim in 6. I didn't really feel how sore my abs were until I was doing the abs segment last night. Feeling good about this program so far!

I also did the Slim & Limber routine to stretch out my legs from my run earlier.

Slim in 6 & Shakeology - Day 1

I just received my first Beachbody program, Slim in 6, and my first bag of Shakeology and let me tell you, I can't wait to get started!

Honestly, I was a little nervous about the Shakeology. I decided I wanted to try it with just milk and a little ice so I could see if I liked it plain like that. Well, it turned out pretty frothy which I didn't like although it did taste like chocolate. I think it was too much milk. I started looking up the recipes for the chocolate flavor on the Shakeology website and I'm making a list for the grocery store tomorrow!

My first day with Slim in 6 was great. It was definitely challenging on my arms and abs and I got a pretty good sweat going! Because I'm in pretty good running shape, I didn't get winded which made me feel good. I can definitely see this getting harder and I think I made a good decision on a program that I can pair with my running.

Welcome!

I'm so excited to start this blog to share and document my progress of my fitness journey! I would love for you to read My Journey to first see how I got to where I am currently and where I hope Beachbody can take me next.

I also will be using this blog to keep myself accountable. On the blog, you'll find a calendar of my workouts, a list of my current goals and even pictures of me with weight and measurement stats before and after products. You might think I'm a little crazy to share so much personal information, but I want this blog to be honest. If I can't be honest with others, how can I help or inspire others to do the same?

Thank you for visiting and please keep coming back to track my progress!
