Progress Not Perfection




Jim did NOT start drinking Shakeology to lose weight or help with his arthritis!  He starting drinking it out of SHEER NECESSITY!!  I had stopped buying ice cream and cookies and snacks!!  Turns out Jim was quite the snacker...he didn't even realize what he was doing.  A few handfuls of M&M's here, a few cookies, ice cream at night.  before you know it the pounds started creeping on.  After a few weeks of him making late night runs to 7-11 to satisfy his sweet tooth because I totally purged the pantry and fridge, he FINALLY asked me to make him a shake.

And guess what??? He LIKED it!! A LOT!! So much that he decided to take one to work everyday to replace his afternoon snack machine raid.  Then it ALL clicked!!  He wasn't CRAVING the junk food anymore!!   He was starting to have MORE ENERGY on our bike rides!
He was losing weight AND the arthritis that had bothered him for years wasn't near as painful.
So for about the SAME amount of money as his unhealthy snacks were costing, he now has a TRULY NUTRITIOUS, all natural snack chocked full of 70 SUPERFOODS that has helped him feel better AND lose weight!!  He has not missed ONE SHAKE in over 10 months!!  He has lost 21lbs. to date and is still going!!

It just goes to show...you will NEVER know until you TRY!
