Drinkable awesomeness...Shakeology

On June 1 we started Shakeology.  Shakeology is a Beachbody meal replacement - it comes in either chocolate or green berry.  It is a 30 day supply and you are to replace one meal a day with a Shakeology shake.  It is a little pricey, so we decided to share one 30 day supply (chocolate---YUM!!)...we each replace a meal on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - 3 meals each a week; it should last us just over a month.  Honestly, we feel a little guilty drinking it because it is SO stinkin' good.  

The directions tell you to mix one scoop of Shakeology with 1 c. of non-fat milk (ice cubes are optional)...however, to this, you can add fruit, peanut butter, or any other healthy options you can think of.  Our favorite is 1 scoop Shakeology, 1 c. non-fat milk, 1 Tbsp. almond butter, and 5-6 ice cubes.   Drinkable awesomeness.  We highly recommend it!

You can partner Shakeology with your choice of Beachbody fitness programs, or simply pair it up with your existing fitness routine.  Check out the video below to see how much punch this shake packs...it's crazy.  (Prepare for your jaw to drop.)

Welcome!

So, you decided to check out our website...good for you!  This means you're at least interested in taking a step towards a healthier lifestyle or to simply find a program that will help you stay in shape.  We're going to keep this website updated with our progress (to hopefully get you motivated and to show off our results!), as well as with programs and products that can change your life.  

I (Travis) am an independent Beachbody coach.  I became a coach because I truly believe in the programs and products that Beachbody has to offer.  I have lost 16 pounds (!!!) in the first 37 days of Power 90, and 7% bodyfat - from 22% to a current 15%.  My wife, Allison, has lost 15 pounds (!!!) and 7% bodyfat as well.  We are on a roll!!  We are 37 days into Power 90 and are loving every second.  We can't wait to see day 60 results.  (We will be adding pics in a separate post, so keep an eye out for those.)

You're 'supposed' to weigh in on day 1, 30, 60, and 90...but we cheat on occasion.  It's hard not to!  It feels so good to see results, even if it is only dropping .3 pounds (sometimes more!) from one day to the next.  On day 1, we took a photograph of ourselves, as well as documented our measurements...I'll share those measurements with you in a second...We did the same thing on day 30...Here are our measurements, side by side:

Travis first, 
Day 1                  Day 30
Chest 42"                       40 1/2"           
Right Arm 14 3/8"  14 3/8"
Left Arm 14"  13 3/4"
Waist 38 3/4" 35 1/2"
Hips 39 1/4"                 37"
Right Thigh 23" 23"
Left Thigh 23"                       22 7/8"

and Allison,
                         Day 1  Day 30
Chest 41 1/2"  39"
Right Arm 14 3/4" 13 7/8"
Left Arm 14 1/2" 13 1/4"
Waist 33 1/2" 31 3/8"
Hips 39 1/2" 36 1/2"
Right Thigh 23 1/2" 23"
Left Thigh 23 1/4" 22 1/2"

So, you can see that Power 90 gets results; we are proof!  Pairing a Beachbody program with healthy eating habits gets you the results that you want.  Remember, changes will not happen over night, but if you keep with it and STAY COMMITTED (to both the program and diet), you will see your body change over 30, 60, and 90 days.  It really is amazing!  I challenge you to get in shape.  These programs can help you get into the best shape of your life.  What do you have to lose, except the weight!  (cheesy, I know...)
