Comment:Looking forward to a busy busy week, all good stuff. I'm really enjoying the Beachbody business - doesn't hurt to be focusing on fitness and health a lot of the day, for sure. As I wrote yesterday, this week could be a big turning point in continuing weight loss - would like to be in lower 160s by week's end. Wish me luck (of course it's not about luck, it's about exercise, eating right, and, now, including Shakeology each day, which is making a difference in many ways for me (all good, lol).

Comment: Ok, I've pretty much been on a plateau for a week or so but I've kept myself there by really over-doing it for lunch two days in a row. So today I'm back to what I know is best for me and keeps me full of energy. Even though I ate more for lunch the past two days, I was loggy and sleepy because of too  many of the wrong kind of carbs. Up and at 'em today!, feels great.

Comment: I am seriously pumped. I've now lost 15 pounds and I'm almost half way to my goal. With 42 days in it's like the habitual behavior is established and it's a good feeling to be eating responsibly - my body is responding in all good ways. Loads of energy, and I'm still really enjoying all three meals and loving that I don't have to be concerned about portion control at dinner time so I can really dig in with Marge's great cooking.
