Day 7: Shakelogy

The last few days I have been working on very little sleep. Allergy season is in full bloom here in beautiful Mt. Shasta. My son, my allergic child has been doing quite well with just a few meltdowns from itchy eyes, hives and over exhaustion that from the run down that allergies do to your body. It's been my youngest Miss Emma Grace who this year is having a tough time. The poor kid has a nagging cough from post nasal drip at night time that is keeping her and myself up all night. So my post is a little late.

A few months ago a friend from church invited me to try a Beachbody challenge group. She knew of my love of healthy eating and fitness but my struggle with time. I had been looking for a way to get back on track with fitness so I joined. With joining she suggested a challenge pack and a great workout, which I have come to love more than anything and Shakeology. Now I tell you I was sold on the Shakeology and thought I eat healthy enough so why a shake. But we talked about all its great add vitamins and clean label. There is even Vegan labeled ones for me. Since I am diary intolerant. I have been drinking a Shakeology ever since. I don't have to remember to take my vitamins because it is all right there for me. Also, I had a horrible caffeine addiction that was completely out of control and I am happy to report that I now only drink my morning coffee, which not only is great on the pocketbook because I am not drinking $6.00 almond milk mochas but when I am ready to go to sleep I can actually relax and turn off my brain for a few hours. I would like to share one of my favorite Shakelogy recipes that replaces my favorite Mexican Mocha.
