Yumm! Drinking my tropical fruit Herbalife shake right now, and HAD to post. I made it today with 1 cup of vanilla almond milk and 1 cup of frozen blueberries. I can't believe how yummy it is...it really tastes just like the blueberry banana smoothies I used to get at the mall, and under 300 calories! I'm so thrilled with this, and can't believe how full I am only halfway through!
I'm so glad I'm doing it right this time, not convincing myself that I'm deprived and finding ways to drink the shake that I enjoy.
Another thing I discovered...doing it the way Herbalife suggests (two shakes a day) just doesn't work for me. I end up feeling deprived, depressed, and on the verge of tears by dinner time. So I'm only taking one a day, which gives me tons of vitamins and good protein, and a quick and easy breakfast, then I just watch my calories the rest of the day. I also LOVE the chocolate peanut protein bars (actually, I have to fight my husband and my daughter every time a box comes in the mail, haha), so those are helping as well!
I'm so excited! I am not doing an "official" weigh in until Sunday, but I weighed myself today, and I'm already down 9 pounds! and my pants are looser! I'm sure that a lot of that is those fickle few pounds that go up and down, and a lot of it is cleansing the nasty stuff out thanks to all the fiber and water I've been taking, so I don't think I'm losing too fast. Next step: increasing my metabolism with a cup of tea a day!
