Shakeology - It's Not Expensive



I get this ALL the time!
  • "I can't afford Shakeology."
  • "Why does Shakeology have to be so expensive?"
  • "It sounds like a great product, but I don't think it will fit into my budget."

Shakeology costs around $4 a day.  That is about the price you would pay for your coffee at a popular coffee chain.  BUT, with Shakeology, you are getting a delicious, nutrient packed meal replacement shake that will leave you feeling full and satisfied without feeling guilty.


MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU

For the span of one month, add up all of your runs to get coffee at the popular coffee stores, all the lunches and/or dinners you go out for, or nights out drinking.  What do those things get you anyway? I will tell you what you get from that.  Less money, sugar high with a sugar crash following, meals high in fats, calories and everything else bad for you, and a night of fun with a wicked hangover the next morning.  It makes you feel lousy or guilty, wishing you had made better decisions.


Give Shakeology a Try!

Shakeology comes with a money back guarantee!  If you are not satisfied with the product, return your remaining portion for a full refund.  Why not give it a try! They have a variety of flavors to choose from, so finding a flavor you like should be easy.  I can only speak from personal experience, but the chocolate tastes like a chocolate milkshake! It's like a cheat meal, but it's not! The vanilla and vegan chocolate are delicious as well.  What do you have to lose?



Shakeology is clinically proven to help you lose weight!

FREE Clean Eating Group Starting Soon!

If the winter has you down and your eating is all out of whack, join us to help you get some pep back in your step!  My team and I will be hosting a FREE Clean Eating group (a private Facebook group) starting February 2!  We will discuss what clean eating is all about, why it is so important, as well as provide you with health AND delicious recipes, meal planning tips and tricks, support, and accountability.



It's January and summer feels so far away. Maybe you made a New Year’s resolution to get healthier and fitter, but don’t know where to begin. Maybe you started off strong at the beginning of January, but now motivation has waned, as the cold and snow has set in. Summer is 5 months away, the winter blues have set it, and maybe you feel your healthy goals can wait a bit.


Why wait?  Why not tackle them now, and chase away those winter blues! If you need a little extra motivation, inspiration and excitation (or a lot!), join my free 7 day clean eating group. Many people come to me wanting assistance with clean eating basics, fitness and how to get started.  

It is hard to kick some of my previous bad habits like drinking pop, carb overload and pizza addiction!  It was hard to cut out the cream and sugar in my coffee and to find recipes that we both enjoyed.  So this was a whole new ball game for me.  Yes it did take me time to understand but I was determined to change my body more than I wanted to stay the same!

What are the requirements?


1.  You must make me your official Beachbody Coach by going to my site and creating a FREE profile.  This way I can send you recipes, meal plans and monthly motivation and tips to keep you on track with your lifestyle.
2.  You must participate for the next 7 days in our online closed facebook group each day!  
3.  Commit to checking in 1x per day, rating your day and charting your progress.
4.  Invite 1-2 friends to join!  Why not bring a few friends along for the ride! There is nothing better than having an accountability partner in the next 7 days!!!!  You are more likely to stick with it if you have someone by your side.



What do you get for joining? 


1.  You get a free 7 day meal plan.
2.  A grocery list
3. A place to check in daily, ask questions, get support and motivation.
4.  Daily tips that have worked for me.
5.  Strategies to handle emotional eating and temptations.
Are you ready to get started?  We will begin the group on Monday, February 2 so please reserve your spot today!


Joining is easy.  Leave a message below or email me at keila_mccracken@yahoo.com about your interest to join, and I will be happy to help you get back on track!

Progress: Weeks 1 & 2

I finished weeks 1 and 2 of P90 and I am really starting to like the program.  I have the moves down and am able to do them with more power, thereby getting better results.  My husband told me the other day, "Wow! You have muscles in your back and arms!" I didn't know if I should be offended or what, haha! Of course I then had to flex in the mirror and see for myself, and low and behold, I had some definition! *happy dance* It is things like this, noticing some definition, and others noticing a change in me that gives me the motivation to continue on this journey.

I still have a long way to go to reach my goal weight and fitness level, but with this program, I am slowly inching closer and closer.  I am doing the Sweat Schedule because I need more cardio endurance and have a lot of weight left to lose.  I am able to digg deeper and push myself harder each day, and am able to do more of the exercises for a longer period of time.  In less than 30 minutes a day, my cardio has improved significantly over the past 2 weeks.  I can't wait to finish the next 2 weeks and compare my before and after pictures.

The Sculpt workouts are great, and I will soon need to bump up my weights to present more of a challenge for myself.  I am stronger than I have ever been, and have muscle definition where I thought I would never have muscle definition.  I can see myself finishing this program and getting great results because I am seeing the improvements I have made in two weeks time.

I was just talking with others today that losing weight is so much harder than it is to put it on.  Consistently doing these workouts and following my meal plans will not doubt give me the results I desire.  Losing weight is 80%  diet and 20% exercise.  In order to achieve results, your diet has to be balanced and healthy.  You can't destroy all of your hard work you put out in your workouts by sabotaging it in the kitchen.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  Meal planning is key!  Stay tuned for my weeks 3 & 4 update!
