Diet Update
I am in love with Herbalife...I have to tell you, I was super skeptical in the beginning and thought I may have an extremely difficult time with this diet. I thought, how the heck am I going to replace 2 whole meals a day with a meesly shake? Well, these shakes are so filling that I can go hours without a snack! And they full of vitamins and minerals so you're getting everything in them. If you want more protein you can add peanut butter or nuts or you can add protein powder. But seriously, I can't believe how well I'm doing and I actually enjoy it--especially nice and refreshing for the summer time.
Turns out, I've lost 12 lbs. in about 6-7 weeks! Yippeeee! I haven't yet reached my goal but I can totally see and feel the difference. Actually I could feel the difference immediately--I feel healthier and shhhh...I am regular now, LOL. Like clock-work! But I think that's a little bit too much info.
Cory said to me a few nights ago, "are you sure you aren't losing wieght?" Then I weighed myself. I'd been so afraid of the scale up until he said this to me. I'm serious!
I have stuggled with my weight my entire life. All of my sisters and even my brother are much smaller than me...some-how I got the big bones or fat genes in the family. My sisters are all size 0-3 and I go up and down from 5-11. It's crazy. I'm so tired of it.
I am much happier now...and I can't wait to be a size 5 again! That's when I felt most comfortable in my skin. I realize this won't last forever unless I figure out a way to maintain it.
I'll keep you posted!

New Diet
I say new because it's always something for me--there is always some new diet thing that I'm trying or at least I give myself a new goal every time I stuff my face. This time I'm determined to lose about 10 lbs. That's all--then I hope to be happy and then it's just maintaining my desired weight for the rest of my life, lol.
Easier said than done.
My friends Larissa & Walter came by on Sunday afternoon to show me how to make these shakes that they drink in place of 2 meals a day. Usually breakfast & dinner...
I know I'm going to have a hard time with this.
But the shakes actually taste pretty delish--they are "Herbalife" nutritional shakes and there are soooooo many flavors! I'm going to try the Cafe latte and cookies & cream shakes.
Walter has lost 45 lbs since last summer and Larissa is right behind him. He started the diet first then Larissa saw that it was working so she started. Now they sell the shake mix, lol. I'm always skeptical about these things but the difference it's making for them is quite dramatic. They are so happy with the results...
I just want to be a size 5 again!
So--I'll keep you updated on my weight loss endeavors. I think blogging about it will keep me on my toes and might actually deter me from straying from my size 5 goal.
It's not just about losing a few lbs., it's about getting healthy and getting the nutrition and vitamins that my body craves.
Has anyone else tried Herbalife? Any advice or experiences you care to share?
