We've all been there. You head out to do some errands early in the morning, expecting to be home by lunch time. But lo-and-behold; the wait at the DMV was 40 minutes, your haircut took longer than normal, and you run into a buddy at the mall you haven't seen in ages. Suddenly it's 12:30 and your stomach is saying "Feed me, Seymour!". You're surrounded by fast food in the food court, but don't want to hamper all of the progress you've made. No Worries!

The Magic in Me
I'm always on the lookout for a great protein shake. With the workouts that I do, protein in a vital part of my diet. I've tried all kinds of brands and all different price-points.
So I tried my first shake on friday. First, I tried it with the recommended 8 oz of water. Personally, I found it to be a little too think and grity (please Note: I was using a shaker cup at the time, and not a blender). I wound up mixing it with about 20 oz of water for my tastes.
Once I found the right ratio, I was in HEAVEN. The best way I could describe it, was thinking of the richest, frothiest, chocolate shake I've ever had. Compared to other drinks I've had this, truly, was by far the best.
Since then, the only thing I've changed from my routine was replacing a meal a day with Shakeology (either breakfast or lunch depending on what I'm doing). It's only been a few days and I'm already noticing a difference. The very 1st thing I noticed was the boost in energy and better concentration. Even my co-workers noticed. (I actually had one of them mention "Hey, instead of ordering out for lunch, I want whatever Heather is on!") Another noticable difference has been some weight loss and my regularity. Frankly, this works better than Activia for me. If this is how things are going to be from here out, this is completely worth it ^_^
