Hey there. I would 1st like to welcome my new follower. Thanks for following me on my weight loss journey. I would also like to thank those who are concerned for my health. I really appreciate that ( You know who you are ) I plan to slowly change my eating habits as I go along. I just find it easier to use meal replacement shakes for the time being. I tend to over eat. Meal replacement shakes or restricting my calories seems to be all that really works for my body. I will slowly whine my body back into food with time. Okay now this is Spiru-Tein my meal replacement shake I use.
This is the flavor I am using at the moment too. I am thinking about trying strawberry next but some strawberry shakes are nasty so I am scared to try it because I don't like wasting food or my money. I like to mix one scoop with 4oz of water. I use to use milk but that has way to many calories and costly over time where is water out my tap threw my brita filter is free. I tend to drink 3 oz for breakfast, lunch, and after noon snack. I sometimes have it for dinner or I end up eating whatever my husband cooks or event that pops up. It is full of vitamins and minerals as well. Doesn't taste bad at all. I like it. I just dislike that it turns green when mixed. I am constantly having to explain to people at my job what it is. Here is the nutrition label.

I had a really bad day at work but I did excellent with drinking my meal replacement today. I am about to start doing yoga. I wanted to do Pilates but I need to buy a new dvd. Not liking the one I have at the moment. I am not up to the level they are and it is 20 minutes long. I just would like the 10 minute one to start. They make have it on netflixs I think. Forgot about that.
I am also trying not to weigh myself everyday or every week. I am waiting until my pants feel baggy. Not sure how baggy yet. I actually felt smaller today when I was at work. My jeans didn't feel as tight and they seem loose already. They are stretch jeans so it is hard to know if it is because I lost weight or if they got over stretched already 0_o
I hope everyone else day was great and I am off to surf the net and relax for the evening. I should really do that quick workout though.........



Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteHope your having a better day than me.
Much lovexxx
It started off okay, then bad, then good and then bad. I posted about it. The title is a dead give away.
DeleteI love the fact your shake turns green when mixed :P
ReplyDeleteI have never tried any exercise DVDs, are they good?
x
Some are good and some are bad. I have not come across any bad ones. Everyone has different needs and wants for working out. Like I personally would like a lean, skinny and curvy body. So for the time being I am doing Pilates.
DeleteUsually for my body to see result the fasted I had to do old fashion jogging along with strength training.
Visalis shakes are amazing! And they don't turn green :P lol, awesome thing too, is you can add flavour, they have sachets of like, chocolate, coffee flavour, even orange, lol. And it allows you to add a bit of peanut butter! It's not actually vanilla flavoured, but cream something, maybe cookies and cream, I'll find out for sure if you like x
ReplyDeleteBut, hope your one is working for you!
I do the Tracy Anderson Metamorphasis, but I don't follow the food plan - too much food and too much hassle, lol - I *really* want to do the insanity workout, though it looks scary! Haha. I go to the gym too =)
