A Healthier Me

Every time I lose a little weight, I want to blog about it.

But then I don't, because I'm afraid I'll relapse, gain it back, & look like a complete idiot.

But it feels different this time.

Last Sunday, I started the Body by Vi shakes.

I had been looking for something to help me kick start a healthier life style and these shakes caught my eye. Luckily, a few of my friends had tried it and told me nothing but good things about it. So I bought it. I was nervous. You mix the shake yourself. I thought it was going to taste terrible. I was wrong. It was yummy, not too sweet.

If you're trying to lose weight you're suppose to drink it twice a day. I chose breakfast & lunch.

I'm not going to lie, the first day I thought I was going to starve to death.

Until I realized that I wasn't actually starving. I wasn't even really hungry.

That sounds crazy, right?

But that was part of my problem. My stomach wouldn't be hungry, I was just craving food. I am an emotional eater. If I'm bored, I eat. If I'm sad/upset/excited, I eat.

The easiest way for me to remedy this? To stay busy.

So that is what I did. Instead of sitting around the house all day waiting to go to work, I went on walks, did zumba, ran errands, got crafty.

After seven days of drinking this shake twice a day & doing moderate exercise, I have lost 2lbs.

I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a start.

I don't crave snacks all day. I don't crave my 3 cups of coffee & large sweet tea every day.

I'm not really missing anything besides a few pounds.

And it feels great!
