HerbaLife Frozen Snack
So I'm using the healthy meal shake as a frozen treat for later on! I took the vanilla + latte meal shake powders and combined both then added strawberries, black berries, blueberries, and raspberries .... blended them all together with lactaid milk for a healthy awesome shake. Good thing I had a little left over too. I'm using the very cool guitar ice tray Dan gave me to make some healthy frozen treats! Man, I can't wait until they're done! Gunna be good!
Rockin' the HerbaLife! Now go get your healthy on dude!!!
Day Seven: A Week in Review
Its been one week since I started using the HerbaLife products. The wife and I are both taking the vitamins each day and having at least two of the meal shakes (which are very tasty too). Getting into the routine of taking the vitamins/supplements three times daily was going to be the hard part. I worked them into my daily routine at home and work and it has been an easier transition (thank goodness for Outlook reminders and alarms on mobile phones).
Over all, I do feel healthier. My stomach hasn't been causing discomfort or pain like it has in the past. I've had a high level of energy consistently through each day w/o any major drop offs. My focus and attention has been improved, albeit slightly, but improved enough to where I notice it. Taking all those supplements/vitamins has also increased my metabolism and appetitie, which means I'm eating more - healthy foods. Coffee, energy drinks, and the like have been completely cut out of my diet . The caffiene I needed is no longer a must have in the mornings. A side bonus to the meal shakes: milk. I've gone through 1.5 gallons of the Lactaid Milk this week! I hate the taste of milk but with the shakes, my dairy intake has increased. Calcium is back in my diet!
The only negative side effect so far is the sleeping thing. I cannot fall asleep very easily. I'm a light sleeper to begin with, but it's got worse in the last week. I've been only getting between 4-6 hours of sleep each night. And it's more like interrupted sleep, not a straight 6 hours. Although I don't feel tired or groggy when I wake up, I'm still concerned that my body will just crash sooner than later.
I haven't lost any weight and I don't think my BMI or anything else has changed, but I do feel heatlhier. More energy, less crude in my stomach, no aches or pains. I feel pretty good at the end of my first HerbaLife Week!!!
