Time Flies...

Yeah, I saw the date of my last post too. Let me start by telling my faithful seven followers that I wasn't in some terrible accident that prevented me from sticking to my plans or blogging. What could have been so important you say? Just life. That's all. Just life. In a nutshell, the last four months... Here goes. First of all, I had no business buying a business. That makes me laugh just to say it with the exception of all the lost money. But it's only money, right? Never mind. Slender You is closed. Yes, my precious baby that I put so much heart into just couldn't make it. Then school started back and well I don't want to sound like a cry baby, but I have two classes of twenty-two, yes forty-four in all four year olds by myself. Not an aide in sight! Yeah. Tell me! But the bright side of things is that I was introduced to something that is changing my life one day at a time. I started this amazing journey called the 90 Day Challenge. Now at first, I thought, no way. I am done with quick fixes that put the weight right back on. But I did a little research and found that by replacing my breakfast and lunch with a shake (more on this later) that I could focus on the rest of my plan to regain my health and lose weight. So I tried it and was hooked. It was easy, fast, and doable. Now you guys know that I have done Medifast before. I hated it. It was a very rigid plan with horrible tasting shakes and bars. There was no life left to live. I couldn't socialize, go to family dinners, eat out and so on. Not the same. I am so thankful that someone had the heart to introduce me to Vi-Shape Shake mix. It has been so easy to lose 25 pounds! Yep. Count em'! Twenty-Five boxes of butter if you will (just to put it in perspective for you visual folks.) I have not had one "diet" meal in two and a half months. Just sensible healthy food. And yes that includes dessert. Back to the shakes. The girl who introduced me to them said they tasted like cake mix. I was thinking...she takes drugs. You know you would think it to. But, she doesn't and they do!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! They are wonderful. I am going to be including some of my favorite recipes on my new fb page, Challenge 2012.
