I don't know if it is a resolution as much as a change in our life that happened to begin in the new year. Dan decided that on January 1st he would stop drinking soda (Coke is his favorite) and cut out gluten (i.e.-bread, pasta, pizza). We lived it up on New Year's Eve and went cold turkey the next day.
Right away Dan was feeling better and noticed a difference. We took it to another level by starting Herbalife. Our weight loss goal is our trip to Hawaii in April, but this is a life change that we are determined to make. Dan won't stick with something if he feels like he is depriving himself of something- and he is sticking to it.
We have now been on Herbalife for 8 weeks and Dan has lost 12 pounds (15 since the beginning of the year). He looks AMAZING and still wants to lose about 15 to 20 more! I on the other hand have lost about 5 pounds, but didn't need to lose much. My personal goal is to replace fat with muscle and be leaner and healthier. I have made a good start and look forward to see the continued results. My body shape is changing for the better!
I am doing a Jillian Michael's workout most days and enjoy changing it up day to day. I also walk with a friend once a week (4 to 5 miles) and then walk Chloe and the boys to and from school. My energy level has been great and I have felt less sleepy in the afternoon. Turning 40 was a big wake up call for me- I really needed to step up my game when it came to my health routine so that I want get flabby and lazy.
Our trip is a short 5 1/2 weeks away and we are getting so excited, but the best part that we will feel and look great and be ready for the many adventures (hiking, snorkeling and kayaking) we plan on experiencing while we are there!
