Shakeology has been a life saving fitness and wellness tool for me in this journey to reach my fitness/health goals. When I first started doing TurboFire I didn't feel like I was the type of person that needed to drink a shake every day. I really thought I could manage my eating habits and exercise and still reach my goals. After 60 days of working out and eating pretty healthy I was still at a point to were I was completely happy with my results. I had reached a plateau and nothing was working. I decided to give Shakeology a try. After researching and reading all the information on the Shakeology site I chose the chocolate. I needed that quick fix of chocolate everyday to curb my cravings. I also decided to become a beachbody coach at the same time to get the 25% discount on the products. I was so early in my transformation but, I had already come so far and I knew that I could help other people do the same thing. I received my shakeology order and my first shake I blended ice, 1 cup skim milk, banana, and 1 tbsp almond butter. I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing. In my shipment was a calendar of 30 ways to mix Shakeology. I love trying new recipes and I wake up every morning looking forward to another shake.
Shakeology helped me lose the last 10 lbs and now maintain my weight. I drink my shake for either breakfast or lunch. You can make it however you would like. Currently, I am on the Eating Clean Stripped plan so I'm mixing it with water and it tastes just as good that way too! Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.
Here is a great video on Shakeology.
Shakeology is more nutritious than a salad and tastes like a dessert!
What is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.
What's in it?
Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.
Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.
Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.
Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.
Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties.
Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.
Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.
What can Shakeology do for you?
It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recomends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements. It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
Why Shakeology?
I love Shakeology because I am away's busy and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition. It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with my hectic lifestyle. It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible. If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them. If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.
How to use it.
It's very simple.
Mix 1 scoop of Shakeology with 8 oz. of water. If you like, add ice. Or if you want something more filling and maybe even more satisfying, blend your Shakeology with ice and nonfat, almond, rice, or soy milk. Shakeology dissolves easily, but blending it will give it a thicker, creamier texture.

You can purchase 10 days of samples from me to try out Shakeology and see if its the right fit for you for $50. 3.

So i'm sure everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving and all the delicious food. Maybe your feeling a little sluggish and your jeans are feeling a little snug. When I have over indulged, feeling a little bloated or want to restart my body towards weight-loss I turn to my very reliable friend Shakeology. With just a 3 day cleanse you can kick your digestive system back on track and drop 5-10 lbs! No this cleanse isn't like others where you have to starve yourself and only have liquid for 3-days. I LOVE food and would never offer the idea out for someone to so that to themselves. With this cleanse you have 3 shakes a day with a fruit snack in between, ( banana, apple, Orange, etc.) Then for dinner you have 6 oz of any white protein with a side salad or veggies. On my first day it seemed like a lot of food. I was completely satisfied and full by dinner time. It took me a few times to make the shakes right. I would always add to much ice or not enough water. But why the third shake I had it down to a "T" I looked forward to my shakes daily and craved them! They were so delicious! After the third day I drop 7 lbs. I felt like a new person! Immediately after my cleanse I ordered Shakeology 2 Day Air! I haven't missed a shake yet. If you would like to give this shake a try or try the 3-day cleanse just let me know!
I know a lot of people look into Shakeology when they hear about it and think it's just another shake blah blah blah...Well I wanted to simplify all the benefits and facts about this unique meal replacement. If you have more questions let me know!
What is Shakeology? Shakeology consists of over 70 extremely high quality ingredients that conveniently fits into one glass, delivering nearly all the substances you need to have a healthy diet. Most people lack some of the essential nutrient group when they try to lose weight.
While there’s certainly no end to the selection of meal replacement shakes on the market today, most leave a lot to be desired. Loaded with sugar, artificial ingredients, and low-quality ingredients, these “so-called” healthy meal replacement products are anything but.
On the other hand, the ingredients label is where Shakeology truly shines.
When Beachbody began to formulate what would become Shakeology, each ingredient added to the mix was chosen for a very specific reason and sourced from the highest-quality providers available today.
Unlike other meal replacements, Shakeology ingredients are derived from whole food sources — you never have to worry about consuming exotic synthetic extracts or isolates when you drink a Shakeology shake. Also, it’s important to note that Shakeology contains absolutely no artificial sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame, and the whey protein used in the product is certified to be 100% free of antibiotics.
Shakeology has many benefits besides weight loss:
1. It reduces hunger 2. helps the brain 3. Promotes concentration and alertness 4. Positive benefits in mood 5. Promotes healthy skin and nails 6. Supports the immune system- which we can all use this time of year!
Shakeology also protects the body from free radicals, prevents cellular damage and helps prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. It also strengthens your immune system, slows aging, detoxifies the body, and alkalizes the body.
Adaptogens help your body cope with stress and promote energy. Pre and Pro biotics help with digestion and help break down foods so you can absorb nutrients.
SO SHAKEOLOGY IS A NUTRIENT DENSE, SUPERFOOD, PROTEIN SHAKE AND IS BY FAR THE HEALTHIEST MEAL OF THE DAY!
During a 90-day research, they saw drastic change in the health group.
By the end of week 1:
-Improved digestion and regularity -Reduced cravings
By the end of week 4: -Increased energy and stamina -Lost weight -Improved mental clarity
By the end of week 12: -Lost, on average, 10 pounds and 2 inches off waist -Reduced risk of heart disease and other -degenerative diseases -Lowered cholesterol on average by 30% -and even up to 70% -Exhibited healthier skin, hair, and nails
The great thing is we have the bottom of the bag guarantee- If you don't like it send the empty bag back and get a refund. No questions asked!

The Holiday's are here, and the weather is getting cooler. This usually means you slip into your comfy warm cloths. You start to feel more comfortable and a little less motivated to workout especially with all the Holiday food around. Let's try something new this Winter! Instead of making excuses, let's set challenges. Don't let your New Year resolution be to drop your Holiday weight, be closer to your desired fitness goals by then!
There are numerous ways to avoid the Holiday weight, it does take a lot of dedication though. To assure I don't get pulled into the "over eating" and "comfortable" Holiday fab I joined a challenge group. Our group consists of a small group of people using a fitness program for 90 days. We eat clean, and drink Shakeology while acting as a support system for one another. The program I chose to use is TurboFire. Its an amazing new intense cardio program that has awesome music and moves to keep you going! I wake up at 5:45 am and text my accountability partner ( WHICH I LOVE), I push through the workouts no matter how tired I am, and afterwards I feel amazing.
A lot of people keep saying they don't have time to workout and the money to eat clean. But really there is no excuse! I work 3 jobs, attend school, I have 2 boxer puppies (my children) a boy friend and family. I'm Busy to! But no matter what there is always away to find 15 minutes to an hour daily for yourself. You have ONE BODY, ONE SOUL! You should take care of it, you deserve it! I haven't felt better about myself. I haven't reached my fitness goals yet, but I am pushing myself daily and I WILL reach them.
Find your goals! Set a plan, and reach them!
You can't do it on your own. If you want/need help just ask! Motivating you keeps me motivated ;)
We have all gained weight at some point in our lives and realized we wanted to shed the extra pounds. You start your diet and regular exercise regiment you start to lose a few pounds. A few months in after weight-loss success you reach a plateau to where it seems almost impossible to get rid of the last few existing pounds whether it be 5-15 lbs. We all reach this goal at some point. I reached mine about 3 months ago. No matter what diet I pursued or how many times I went to the gym, nothing would change. I started to do more research as my frustration grew. I stumbled upon Beachbody.com, i've used the site numerous times to buy products like P90X, Insanity, and Brail Butt lift. I loved them all. What I found changed me and my outlook on my health. SHAKEOLOGY! I did my research and watched all the informative videos about all the health pros this one shake provided. I ordered samples of the shake from my coach, and told her about my issues with loosing my last desired pounds. She informed me that I could do a cleanse with shakeology, all the ingredients were natural unlike the Lean shakes I was using. So I decided to do the 3 day challenge. You are supposed to drink 3 shakes a day, with a fruit snack in between each, then dinner you would have 6 oz of any white protein with a small salad and non-fat dressing for three days! That seemed more then due able. I ordered the cleanse from her and received it within 2 days.
After the three days I felt more then amazing. On my third day I weighed my self and I lost a total of 7lbs!! My body did a 180! I felt so more energetic then i have in years. This was my first cleanse so I was worried I would gain the weight back. It has been a few weeks since my cleanse and I still feel great. I have kept the weight off and I continued to challenge myself and my body to avoid the aggravation of hitting the plateau again. If your looking fora safe and effective way to beat those pounds Shakeology is for you. If your interested in learning more about the product go to the website below watch the videos. It it can work for me, i know it can work for you!
Throughout my life I have been self-conscience about my weight, the daily struggles to maintain motivation to workout and eat right are extremely tough for a lot of people. I've learned that it is easier for me to stay focused on my health with the support of others. I know a lot of people who feel uncomfortable the way the look, feel, and just don't know where to start to achieve their desired fitness goals, whether it be to loss weight, tone, build muscle, increase energy or just get healthy. If you set a goal for yourself and take it day by day it doesn't seem to hard to reach. Many people lose motivation if results are instant, change takes time especially if your starting from square one.
I have set goals for myself, and a daily routine that will help me stay focused so I became a beach body coach. I believe I can help you achieve your goals as well. If you are interested in some FREE anytime help please let me know. I can point you in the right direction that changed my life. I still have a long way to go to reach my fitness goals. But i'm taking it day by day and I already feel amazing! I'm ready if you are!
Hello- I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. My name is Haley, i'm 21 years old. I currently have 2 jobs, attend school at SPC in St Pete majoring in nursing, and of course like many of you I have many other obligations like my 2 wonderful boxer puppies, a great boyfriend, and my loving family. All of which consume my entire day and then some. I love to workout, eat right and set challenges for myself weekly! Many have the same busy life as me and give up on the idea of working out, and staying healthy. It's not impossible. Like the old saying goes, "If I can do it, You can do it!!". I strongly believe in that saying and never get up. We have all been through a lot and faced with daily obstacles in life which alter our motivation to make time for ourselves, but with a little patience, organization and strength anyone can make it work. I believe i'm the proof of that. My main reasoning for creating this blog is to write about my obstacles, tricks to staying active, motivated and sane! I hope you enjoy!
