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.

"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...
