For this first week I am going to try and post every day if anything worth sharing pops up. Yesterday ended well I ended up having energy through the day and night. I enjoyed a shake for dinner and just made the plain vanilla with ice this time and it made a huge difference. Absolutely yummy. It is like having desert. Ended the evening a little hungry but not feeling any urge to binge or go crazy. Which is one thing I was looking for with the Herbal life , to help control my out of control urges. I love it and so far so good.
Today went much better, more prepared and put a banana in my morning shake which was oh so yummy. Had my tea before and I have to say the tea isn't the greatest tasting but man the benefits from it out weight that. I havent' had caffeine so far either and havent' been craving that. I know it is only day 2 but I really am confident this was the one thing missing in my weight loss journey. I have tried and tried to do this without any help and just needed something to help with the cravings and uncontrollable urges and so far so good. I can't wait to see how my weight is at the end of the week.

1st day on Herbal Life
Good Morning Everyone- today begins my herbal life story. I woke up late this morning rushing but got my tea drink in and was able to make my shake.
I mixed raspberries in the French Vanilla Formula 1 shake and add 2 scoops of the protein. I forgot the ice but the drink was still good. It kind of smelled like baby formula but I had to look past that. It was actually good the consistency was a thick milk shake but I think if I remembered the ice it would have been more icecreamy. The tea is starting to work and even after going to bed at 1 am I am energized and focused. I just finished the shake about 20 mins ago and have no hunger what so ever. I really thought I wouldn't feel like I ate but I am pleasantly full. Unfortunately I wasn't able to prepare the way I really wanted for the day. I grabbed an apple and some carrots but have no protein for my snacks at all and I know I am suppose to have protein with every meal and snack. It was a busy and hectic sunday for us so I failed miserably in the preparedness department. I will add more to this blog tomorrow morning just to let everyone know if I still felt good in the evening. Oh and I took a Cell U loss pill with breakfast. No jittery type feelings yet just energized.

My Weight Story!!!
I have a wonderful Herbal life health coach and she is my cousin so I am a little biasis. However it was one of the last pushes I needed to get my life back in order and to lose this weight I have been carrying around for over 12 years. Here is the beginning of my blog I will try to blog once a week, at least , just to let everyone know how I am doing on Herbal life and what my weight loss is. My story is probably like a lot of others and I am sharing it with you today.
I am going to be 34 on Saturday and have been going on 12 years of being obese. I gained most of my weight between 1998 and 2001. I met a wonderful man in March of 98 and once that happen I stopped taking care of myself and started enjoying my time with him and eating at great places and not having time to exercise like I use too and before I knew it I had gained over 100 lbs by my wedding day in 2001. I tried losing it before the wedding but I was so stressed with all the wedding plans I wasn't successful at all. From 2001 till now I have been on every diet out there, I have joined gym after gym, bought all the new workout dvds on the market and read all the books but haven't had much success. Don't get me wrong I have lost on most of them but got pregnant twice had two beautiful girls and have stopped taking care of me and concentrating on them. Now over 300lbs I am just done. I have a healthy and active person inside me just dying to get out and enjoy life with my kids and husband. So I have now decided to try herbal life. I have the exercising down ,I love to exercise I work out at least 3x to 5x's a week and I enjoy it. I just love how my stress levels lower and my positive attitude sores after a good workout. I love to sweat the more the better cause then I feel very accomplished. I ordered my herbal life today and I am just waiting for them to be delivered. I will begin my journey and this time I mean Successful Journey on July 30th. I am hoping this blog helps others please leave comments ask questions. I want to not only be successful on this but I also want to motivate others and hopefully help others be successful too.
