Back in the Saddle!

Flashback almost 2 years ago when I began my healthy living journey! I started the end of May 2013.

Ending weight: 146.8lb 135lbs 132.6 129.4
Smallest part of waist: 29" 27.5" 27.5" 27" (total of 2")

Belly button: 36.5" 35" 34" 32.75" (total of 3.75")

2" below belly button: 37.5" 36" 35.5" 34.75" (total of 2.75")

Thigh: 25" 24" 23.5" 23" (total of 4")

Butt: 41" 39.5" 39" 38.5" (total of 2.5")

Chest: 34" 33" 33" 32.5 (total of 1.5")

Total weight loss to date: 17.4"

Total inches lost to date: 16"

My results were something to be proud of and I kept the weight off for over a year. Then I got comfortable and allowed little by little the bad food to creep back into my life. I began to forget what it felt like to be healthy, to have the crazy energy that I felt in 2013. I allowed the the little cheats here and there to turn into days of eating everything and anything that came into sight. I didn't feel good. I have learned over the last year to embrace who I am and to not be critical of the way I looked and I still live by the philosophy. But...I got tired of not feeling good. I got tired of my joints hurting, my neck feeling like a jumbled neck. I was tired of not having energy to play with my kids. I was just plain out TIRED!

So, we're back and better than ever because I have now seen first hand both sides of what eating healthy can do for you! So join my on my re-birth of health! This time around I am incorporating running, lifting, yoga, and quite possibly pole fitness! You'll never know what decides to pop up on these posts but I look forward to having you join me back on my journey TO HEALTH!

More on that Pea Protein I rave about!

So, you know how I always talk about Arbonne being AHEAD of the trend. Here's the deal, we use YELLOW PEA PROTEIN in our shakes. It's the most easily digestible plant protein on the planet. And we've used it for YEARS. 

Now, thanks in large to the good ole Dr Oz, there is now a GLOBAL shortage of quality pea protein. Arbonne sources ours out of Europe. We are looking for other suppliers but the yellow pea has very precise growing conditions/environment and of course it has to be organic, non-GMO, etc. 

All that to say, Arbonne has alerted us that our incredible protein shakes will be on/off backorder for the next couple of months until new supply means are established. I tell you this now for a couple reasons -
1) If you're an Arbonne shake lover already, STOCK UP!!
2) If you plan on (or even THINK about) doing my January 28-day Clean Eating Challenge as part of your 2014 New Years Resolution, DO NOT WAIT to order your Fit Kit package!! You'll want to order ASAP so that there's no risk of you being without that crucial piece come January!

Thought this was a great article weighing out all the available protein sources. Love that Arbonne's formula is a blend of yellow pea & brown rice (+ cranberry). Making it highly-usable, easily-digestible and a low-allergen source for QUALITY protein with a complete amino acid profile. If you have questions, let me know! If you've never tried our protein and WANT to, let me know too, I would love to give you a sample! Love my protein shakes!

Comparison of Protein types

Yellow pea...that's P.E.A!

It's one thing to be ON trend...quite another to be light years AHEAD of the trend. We were "green" before it was cool. Vegan from the start. We've been using pea protein for a long time..way before Dr Oz & Shape Magazine  raved about it. And now we've got the FIRST plant-based retinoid on the market.

There are 4 factors to look at when considering a biz opportunity...timing & trends is certainly one! TWO billion (with a "B") dollar industries in ONE company. Glad Arbonne is ALWAYS ahead of the game!! 34 years & growing strong!!
