Landyn, Kris, and I have all three been sick this passed week. It turns out what Landyn has is pneumonia, and it is probably what Kris and I have too. I'm feeling better and Kris was finally able to go back to work yesterday. The ViSalus shakes helped me get the energy I needed to take care of myself and my boys. It's not supposed to be an energy drink but it has all the vitamins and nutrients you need for a day in just one shake, so you have natural energy rather than the caffeine in energy drinks and coffee. I believe I got better so much faster than Landyn and Kris because I continued to get all my nutrients I needed, whereas those two don't drink these every day like I do.
My blender also broke, but I'm not letting that stop me from drinking these. I just mix the powder with milk and put whatever flavor I want in it. It is a little lumpy but it doesn't bother me really. I want to stay committed to this because I really want my old body back, or close to it.
When I go back to school, I plan on working out at the school gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have a two hour break in between my classes. I'm really hoping it helps boost my weight loss and will help me get to my goal faster. I'm not sure if I told you what my goal was, but on the ViSalus website I said I wanted to lose 30 lbs in 90 days, so by Landyn's 2nd birthday I want to be down to 130 lbs. That's still 15 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight, but I think I will be happy still. Then if I continue doing this I will probably lose the other 15 lbs.
Like I promised last week, here's another picture for the end of my first week. I didn't see any improvement quite yet, but it's only been a week :)
