There has been major renovations taking place in my life. It seems that as my mind becomes de-fogged, I am decluttering other areas that have been neglected. Organization is something that has never really been one of my strengths. It seems that when I manage to keep up with one task, I fall behind in another. It can be very overwhelming, but lately I noticed that I not building with anxiety over the amount of unfinished work, but taking it one day at a time. If I don't accomplish all that I set out to do, there is always tomorrow. The important thing is that enjoy the present, and that I embrace the moment. That I can have unlimited amounts of time to enjoy my family, and everything else can sit on the back burner, atleast for awhile.

Day 14
Day 14 already. Unreal. I just threw my second challenge party last night with some great friends and family. We were on fire with making and tasting shake after shake. Among them our favorites chocolate peanut butter, cran-blueberry... and a few new ones. Cherry cheesecake, cafe mocha, orange dream. So so good.
I feel honoured to be promoting such an amazing product, and I am just so pleased with the results after just being on it for two weeks. I feel so balanced. My body was in such desperate need of proper nutrition, that I can already feel tremendous improvements in my cardiovascular health.
I read some shocking facts about the reality of obesity in the United States alone, that just blew my mind. 'That 200 million americans (2 out of 3 adults and 1 in 3 children) are overweight. If nothing changes within 10 years 42% of our population will be obese. This means that todays children could be the first generation to have a shorter life span than their parents. The cost of health care expenses for obesity is a more expensive health problem than smoking.' People are eating themselves to death.

Day 6
7:20am I stayed up way too late last night, and I am paying for it today. I need to make sleep a priority in my 90 Day plan, because my body really needs that time to recover. My breakfast shake tates awesome this morning, especially after such an intense workout.
2:00pm I am feeling good, eating well, and almost on my way to a complete health transformation. I love the 'ViSalus' Shakes, and really look forward to them. It is amazing that only six days into the 90 Day Challenge, I am not craving sugar!! How is that possible? I'm not saying that I'm cured. That I'm over it, but it's a relief to not feel the intense withdrawl that I have felt in the past. The headaches, the weakness, the unbalanced sugar levels dropping taking my energy with it, the emotional roller coaster (angry, irritable, moody). The shakes have just made it so easy... and so wonderful. For me it feels like the difference between going grocery shopping with an empty stomache, and going shopping after having a meal.
11:00pm I got together with some family & friends this evening to share and sample shake recipes. What a fun filled evening of creativity. There are hundreds of variations, so many yummy recipes. Tonight we made German Chocolate cake, sex on the beach, Cran Blueberry, Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and mixed berry. After all that tasting, it felt like I had just eaten a meal. So good.

day 5
12:00pm This morning it was hard to pull myself out of bed for an intense work out at six o' clock in the morning, but I knew that once I got started it would pay off. I did it, and I feel like that is a tremendous accomplishment.
Also, I was listening to a few other people talk about their own experiences with the Body By Vi Challenge and one mentioned that she doesn't eat chocolate icecream or drink coffee anymore, that she doesn't crave them. The funny thing is... Neither do I!!! No way could it be that easy. No way!! I would know, I am former sugar addict remember, and I can't tell you how many times I have tried to give it up. But let me tell you, from my experience and being on the challenge now for 5 days... I feel satisfied. My sugar levels aren't spontaneously dropping, where I would need to binge on ice cream or a handful of cookies to spike it back up. My energy level never seizes where I feel like I need that coffee to wake me up. I am completely satisfied... all day long.
So what is the the 90 Day Challenge all about? The Body by Vi™ Challenge is not another fad diet. The program is based on nutrition that helps you burn fat and keep lean muscle, boosts your metabolism and helps control hunger. THIS ISN'T A PROGRAM ONLY FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT! It's for anyone who's sick of feeling tired and having no energy because they don't have the time or money to make three nutritious meals every single day!

Day 4
7:20pm What a busy day! Finally I feel like I have the energy to make it through the day without the aid of sugar and caffiene. In a way I feel free... like I am the one in control now, and I choose to make my own destiny. I am challenging myself in ways that I never thought possible. The key is to stay positive throughout this whole process. After all this is a 90 Day challenge, so I might as well make the most of it!
Day 3
I am proud to say that I am making progress. I have been eating well, sticking to my fitness routine and drinking the 'ViSalus' Shakes every morning, along with the multi vitamins. I feel great!!! Matter of fact, keep in mind, that I have aloud myself atleast one cup of coffee a day, and I haven't had one. I just never really thought of it. First thing in the morning I have my shake, and I'm ready to go!!!
What I like about the shakes is that you can get creative and make them your own. Each day is a new experience, and it's exciting to try a new kind.
I've tried Berry, Banana cream pie, Chocolate Penut butter (tates like a reese's pieces treat), Orange creamcycle, Orange blueberry, and this morning I am tryig Peach. The possibilites are endless.

Day 2
11:05am Yesterday was a really busy day, so I didn't really have time to blog, with it being my birthday and all. I had energy from the get go, and for the first time in a long time I never felt the afternoon crash... period. Perhaps, it's the whole routine together as a unit.
1. I ate healthy well balanced meals
2. I began the day early with a fitness workout
3. I began my 90-Day Challenge using 'ViSalus' health & fitness products
I just finished my first workout with Turbo Fire and let me tell you I worked it hard. I assumed that it would start out easy for beginners but I was sweating seconds after starting to warm-up. I can't wait to see where I will be 90 days from now. I committed to my journey on my birthday, so let's just say it will be a birthday I will never forget. Not to mention, with the ViSalus social network, I am able to connect with people from all over the world who are also taking the 90 Day Challenge. In fact, someone from Florida pushed their challenge start date one day later, just so we could start on the same day and encourage each other all the way through. Imagine what accountibility that gives you. Not only is it encouraging to connect with others, but inspiring. I didn't have a fitness plan... I planned to eat healthier, give up sugar, use 'ViSalus' products and as I mentioned earlier stay active. Notice that I did not mention exercise... but thanks to someone in Florida, I am taking it to the next level. I am in it to win it!!!
