I hate packing clothes for trips! Well, actually I don't. I like putting together outfits for myself and my girls. What I hate is how much room my clothes take up. An average or small sized person can pack up a weeks worth of clothes in the same suitcase that I use for a weekend trip.
I look forward to the day that my clothes take up less space!
On a side note, I haven't really lost any additional weight in about 2 weeks. I started getting depressed but instead of quitting like I normally do, I reached out to some support! My sis in law and cousin in law both suggested I keep a food journal to make sure I am staying at a good number.
I am going to do this because I am probably snacking too much or maybe my dinner portions aren't what they need to be. Either way I am not giving up!
Any obstacles in your way? How are you overcoming them?

Join me on my weight loss journey! This is going to be a very real attempt at losing weight without using a "fast" method. Why? Been there, done that, gained more.

Can I be honest?
I have maybe 2 or 3 hours throughout the day where Savannah sleeps soundly and I can get things done. I try to do a bit of housework during that time and spend quality time with my oldest, Bella. And then if I do get that 3rd hour it is really hard to make myself get out of bed or off the couch and do some exercise! I am exhausted taking care of a 3 month old. (but I wouldn't change it for anything!) it's a mind game I know, but my lazy side keeps winning! Help!

One Month Down
So I have completed my first month of my 90 day Body by Vi Challenge. I am down 12lbs and 7inches. I did not lose as much as I had hoped but I am happy for any loss that stays off!
I have gained more energy than before and I feel good! I am able to fit into more and more prepregnancy clothes and I am excited for the days ahead when those no longer fit!
For Month 2 I am working on incorporating a consistent exercise routine into my days. I hope to lose another 10-15 this month by doing so.
Something I am very excited about is the fact that after 30 days I am still enjoying my shakes! I have yet to grow tired of a same old same old routine like I normally do with diets. I think it's because even though I am constantly having 2 shakes everyday- they are never the same! Mmmm!
How are you doing with your weight loss endeavors? (if you are on the journey to a healthier you that is)

It Does a Body Good!
So I have been on the 90 Day Challenge for 2 1/2 weeks now. Not only have I lost weight (11lbs at the 2 week weigh-in) but at least 4 inches are gone too! 3 from my waist and 1 from my hips!
Something else I've noticed besides the weight loss is how good I feel in general! I have more energy than I did 3 weeks ago, which is wonderful since I am now a stay at home mom with a rambunctious 4 year old and a 3 month old that requires a lot of attention!
The vitamins in the Body by Vi Shakes play a huge role in this! Plus I add 8-10 oz of skim milk per shake which is giving me all this calcium I used to never get. (before doing the shakes I would barely have a sip of milk in a week's time).
I still have a ways to go but I am enjoying the small perks as they come! My face is slimming down and eventually my body will be there! Another thing I've noticed is my hair! It is fuller and shinier than its been in a long time. Usually after having a baby, a woman's hair goes thru hell- falls out, thins out, texture changes all due to the change in hormones but I feel like all the vitamins and nutrients in my shakes are helping to counteract that!
I included 2 pics with this post: one of my face and hair after I had my baby and after I started the shakes... Plus a pic with the nutritional info.

Why Body by Vi?
Throughout this 1st week on Body by Vi, I have been asked why I decided to do this, so here are 10 reasons...
1) I need to lose weight (duh) and my past efforts have been a mix of successes and failures- this has proven to be a great jump start for me.
2) many of my inlaws are partaking in the 90 Day Challenge so I have plenty of accountability
3) my husband is on board too- and we haven't been on the same page since we both did Jenny Craig (coincidently the one time we were both really successful)
4) it's affordable- less than $2/shake so it works out to be cheaper than our normal grocery bill. And practically cuts our grocery bill in half, if not less!
5) it's delicious! No really- its not chalky or gritty and you don't have to choke it down! And the flavor combinations are endless!
6) it is packed with nutrients
7) I actually feel full when I drink it and I do not long to eat or bite into food because I can still enjoy dinner!
8) I look forward to every shake!
9) the "3 for free" referral program- when you join, and your friends/family/coworkers see your success- they will want to know how they too can lose weight- and if you have 3 friends sign up under your name, your shakes for the following month are free!
10) by being a distributor I can supplement my income and stay home with our girls
