Flavor Explosion!

It is another cold and snowy morning here in Denver. I was really in the mood for a warm breakfast, but am dedicated my my 180 program, and didn't want to pack on calories from oatmeal or toast.
I did heat up the kiddos' breakfast cereal and had the brilliant idea of heating up my own as well. The smoothie heated didn't sound great, so instead I turned to the bar. The peanut butter chocolate chip one to be exact.
With 20g of protein, 6g of fiber and 270 calories this scrumptious meal bar never fails to deliver. I warmed it up for 1 minute in the microwave, it came out soft and gooey- leaving the kitchen smelling like a bakery...

I added 3 spoon fulls of plain, fat free FAGE yogurt, and dove in. Oh My Gosh! Such an amazing flavor and texture combination. I will return for this many cold mornings!
Can't wait to try the blueberry almond bar..

i licked the plate.....

Finally!! The App is here!

The Shaklee 180 program includes this awesome app, that all of us on our transformation journey have been waiting for! To get access, you need to have purchased a Turnaround kit, or a Lean & Healthy kit.

Get going- whatcha waitin for!!!

Metabolism Boost

In my journey to get healthy, I have done lots of reading to figure out how to boost my metabolism. Number one, the more muscle mass you have, the greater your metabolism. That is why I love the Leucine in the Shaklee 180 products. It helps maintain my muscle mass as I loose weight!

Second, the foods you consume can help or slow down your metabolism. To remind myself of these foods I created this handy dandy little chart that sits as the wallpaper on my computer. Good reminders. Needless to say, everything has to be organic, and non-GMO.

Ever wonder what a diet might cost you?

I know I have spent alot of time thinking about this topic.
I've tried quite a few diets and always wondered how they would break down financially. I think for me, back in the day when Atkins was popular, that must have been the most expensive. We only eat organic, free-range meat at our house, and that was not cheap.
I now have this handy-dandy little chart to share, I've been on weight watchers before, and can attest to the expense of that.
I am so glad to have found the right place for me- more money in the pocket, and a fantastic diet! Also very excited about the fact that my new diet, Shaklee 180, contains NO GMO ingredients!

Coming soon..

This blog is a little bit of a mix of all things I love and care about- recipes, crafts, environmental issues etc. etc. And, starting in January, I will be starting a NEW and EXCITING weight loss program. I will be featuring some new, diet friendly recipes, and more about the program starting January. And IF I am brave, I might even share my before/after/happily after after images, inch loss, successes and failures.
I'm hoping to build a team to join me, it is always easier to stick to a program when one has the support and accountability of a team.
This is a little tease, what it's all about and why I'm SO excited!

The Shaklee 180 program is going to help me and millions of others loose the weight and KEEP IT OFF.

The unique Shaklee 180 products (delish by the way) are meal replacement bars, smoothies and snacks, as well as a metabolic boost supplement, that contain Leucine™. Leucine is a patented formula that helps you maintain (and in some cases build) more muscle. This is what helps you keep the weight off.
The more muscle mass the greater metabolism!

For even greater incentive- you can earn your whole package for free! AND Shaklee will give you rewards as you loose! Amazing. 

No more yo-yo dieting- get on the program, and let me know if you want to join my team :)
