Get healthy, live longer, save money?!?!?!??

Now that I have your attention... I'm going to share a little story with you.

It seems like everywhere I go these days and no matter who I talk to... the topic of conversation always seems to shift to health problems and/or exercise and losing weight. I often wonder why we can't seem to get it ingrained in our brains that the former can be directly impacted by the latter.

Within the last 2 years, I have battled with my weight and won - by losing a great deal of weight... and keeping it off. I did this mostly by exercising (personal training with my friend Polly and then moving to P90X) and though I wasn't eating healthy, I definitely ate LESS. The reward for my effort (in addition to the obvious change in appearance) was to be able to stop taking blood pressure medicine that cost us $30 a month, not to mention quarterly visits to the doctor for checkups with a $25 co-pay.

For the last several months, I have really wanted to focus more on eating HEALTHIER. I have been having some other health problems. To try to combat this, because I have not been getting answers from my physicians, I've been making more meals at home, making better choices that taste great and the whole family will eat. Some additional weight loss was a pleasant side effect of that.  As of today I am at 50 pounds lost.

Now the next step was around Christmas time.  I have been exercising as many days of the week as I make time for and my body will allow. I started drinking a meal replacement from Beachbody (the makers of P90X and Insanity) called Shakeology for breakfast every morning. I've had some friends and family members who tried it and I was really, truly skeptical. When I finally broke down, I quickly learned what the fuss was about. I drink a shake every morning and the difference in how I feel has been unbelievable. I just wish I had listened sooner. The main thing that kept me from trying it was the cost. How silly I really was.

Drugs and insurance costs out of pocket (averaged daily) - $8.77
Shakeology per day as a customer - $4.00
Shakeology per day as a coach - $3.50

I could have kept almost $2,000 by trying it out sooner MORE THAN FIVE DOLLARS A DAY!!! Add to that the fact that Shakeology also seems to be curbing my Starbucks cravings and I could only IMAGINE how much more money would still be in my pocket. ;)

My stomach issues seem to be continually improving. Soon, I will be dropping *another* medication from my arsenal that costs us $30 a month.

And some things you simply can't put a price tag on. I have really been feeling great. My energy level is through the roof. (Shakeology has some of the same ingredients as the famous 5 Hour Energy shots) The shakes are all natural, they taste good, they are convenient, and they could be the push you need to live a healthier lifestyle. I have read for some folks that it has lowered their cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and definitely high blood pressure caused by excess weight.

Thanks for your time if you've made it this far, I really appreciate your attention.  If you want to learn more about it or would like a sample, please just drop me a line with your address and I will get one out to you.
