My First 90 Day Challenge With Visalus

June 5, 2012 · by · 11 Comments

I am so excited!  My first 90 Day Challenge with Visalus is over.  I am not excited it’s over, I am excited at the loss of weight in those 3 short months AND the transformation my body is going through.

I am currently working out 4-5 days a week, eating 1300 calories a day and drinking the best tasting shake ever.   At 46, I have realized I need to exercise to be able to lose weight.  Which is a win win, the exercise is also helping me tone.  Something I have never done while trying to lose and it is making a HUGE difference.

A typical day of food looks like:

Breakfast – Visalus Shake made with Fat Free Milk and a Via Coffee pack (180 Calories)

Snack – 100 calorie plain almonds (100 Calories)

Lunch – Visalus Shake made with Fat Free Milk, PB2, Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding mix and a banana (300 Calories)

Snack – Babybell Cheese and a few crackers (150 Calories)

Dinner – Sensible dinner (500+ Calories)

Snack – (If enough calories left in the day)

Exercise – 45-60 minutes of interval running, cardio or strength training

It has taken the last 3 months to make this a habit and something I just do.  (Tonight I missed my workout and it felt a bit strange.)

On May 20th I completed my first 90 Day Challenge with Visalus.  On that same day, I ran the Capital City 5 miler.  (I ran the first mile up a hill, intervaled the next 3 and ran the last mile.)  I will admit, my body was tired, very tired at the end.  I think I am more of a 3.2 mile girl!

So in the first 90 days, I have lost a total of 10 pounds and 10.25 inches.  I was hoping for a little faster loss but now that I am in my 40′s my body just doesn’t lose as quickly as it did when I was younger.  All the more motivation to keep it off this time.  I have dropped two sizes in clothes.  I started in 12′s and just bought my first pair of 8′s in eight years!

I have started my second 90 Day Challenge and week one I have dropped another 3 pounds.   I have 14 pounds till I reach my goal.  To know that I have less than 15 pounds, makes me a happy girl.

My Visalus Journey

April 17, 2012 · by · 10 Comments

A little over a month ago, I shared with all of you the beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 3,472.  I am at day 58 and am so excited about my results!  I have lost a total of 8 pounds (15 since January), over 5 inches and down 1.2% body fat.  Next week I will be measured again and hope to see those numbers drop some more.  My clothes are getting baggy and I was able to go and buy a smaller shirt size this weekend!

The 90 Day Win program has kept me accountable.  Weekly weigh-ins, challenges, exercise points etc.  It all plays into the success of the program.  I can now run a mile in 11:47 and a month ago it was 13:04.  I will now be starting the second round of challenges and am excited to see my improvement.

Another component of losing is eating right.  I started the 90 Day Challenge with Visalus within a week of the workouts.  It took me a little time to perfect my shakes but now I am enjoying shakes that are better tasting than your ice cream or coffee shop.   Seriously!  Every morning I wake up and enjoy 2 scoops of my Visalus Shake Mix, 1/2 Cup 2% milk, 1/2 Cup water, 1/2 pack Via coffee and 8 ice cubes.  I swear it tastes just like a coffee frappuccino.

Starting out, I was drinking 1 shake a day for breakfast.  I am wanting to lose a bit quicker so I am bumping up my shakes to two a day.  I am curious to see how this changes the weight loss on my last 30 days…don’t worry…I am not quitting!   I will be signing up for another 90 days to lose and tone even more.

If you are curious about Visalus, check out this video which explains how the plan works.  I am not a promoter, just a happy customer wanting to tell you how I am doing this.

If you are interested, please sign up under my Visalus link.   Need some incentive to get your girlfriends or family started with you?  For every 3 people you sign up, you get your shake kit FREE!

One Vi-Shake has the nutritional content of 1.5 cups broccoli, 13 eggs, 5 peaches, 2.5 chicken breasts, 1.5 cups yogurt, 1.5 cups bran flakes, 18 oz tomato juice, 1.5 cups romaine lettuce, 5oz cheese, 3 cups of cooked lima beans, 15 slices of whole wheat bread, 20 spears of asparagus, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups mushrooms, 30 apples, 10 stalks of celery, 3.5 tomatoes, 3 pineapples and 30 prunes.

I will be posting pictures at the end of my 90 days.  It is pretty incredible how much I am losing and I am very excited about it!!   Come and join me, what do you have to lose, except weight??

Disclosure:  This is my personal opinion of the Visalus product.  I am not being compensated to write this post.  I am doing this weight loss system entirely on my own!
