My still in the program review // 21 day fix

There were two major not so positive thoughts when I received my 21 Day Fix challenge pack

1. Shakeology -- is it really worth the money & how am I suppose to actually drink this stuff?
2. The containers -- no way, I am going to be starving


So for starters the Shakeology. I ordered vegan chocolate because I asked my instagram friends and that was the one most of the commentors liked, so that's what I went with. I tried a shake when it first arrived. Disgusting. Yep, I basically had to force it down. What I've learned is that it is super healthy & I haven't been used to the taste of super healthy. Also you have to try different thing with it. I found my perfect mix. 

PB&J (it's in the book) 8-10 ounces of water, 3 ice cubes, 3 frozen strawberries, 1 teaspoon of pb (right now I am loving The Bees Knees peanut butter) & 1 scoop of shakeology.


Now I love it. I seriously crave this. I have it every morning after my workout. 

The cost. I still think it's pricey. Worth it? Yes, I think so. I feel like I cannot give a clear answer just yet.

The containers. This is what I've learned. Eating good foods makes me fuller and not craving foods alllllllll day. Before I could eat so often and still feel hungry & unsatisfied. Now? I'm not hungry. I have only had two days where I felt hungry. H O R M O N E S. Just when it was the awful time of month did I feel hungry. Every other day I have been fine. But it's the choice to eat the good foods. To eat the broccoli instead of the ice cream sitting in the freezer.

So far my review. I plan to do another round & yes I recommend it. Highly. The workouts are great. There are a lot of new and different moves that really get your muscles going. BUT the gold of the program is the nutrition part.

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
