Fitgirl: 90 day challenge (not a work out)

So, I am trying this Body by Vi 90 day challenge.  It is a meal replacement shake that you have 1 time per day, I already take Vega, so I am substituting this shake into that.  The price was right, so I thought I would give it a shout.

You weigh & measure yourself prior to taking this:
Date: March 31
Age: 33
Height: 5'4''
Weight: (I did this weight a few days ago) 131.4 lbs.
Chest Measurement (under armpits): 33.5 inches
Waist (smallest area): 27 inches
Hips (biggest area): 38.5 inches.

After the 3 months you are supposed to check these measurements again.

The plan, if you want to lose weight is to replace 2 meals with these shakes...in the shakes you add whatever you want, i.e. milk, fruit, etc.  You also have one sensible meal and 2 snacks.

If you want to maintain weight, you replace 1 meal with this shake, and have 2 sensible meals and 2 snacks.

My plan:  I do not think I really need to lose weight, want I am hoping for is the energy increase that you supposedly get from this.  My typical day includes:

  • Breakfast: big bowl of frozen berries with flax seed and almond milk
  • Lunch # 1: either a soup that I made on the weekend, it always has tons of veggies and some lean protein OR spinach with a can of salmon.  For dessert I have an apple.
  • Lunch # 2: this is when I usually have the Vega, but now I will substitute this other shake into here.  I also have a half or full banana
  • Supper: this varies everyday...but I try to have half  to 2/3's my plate veggies and the rest lean protein.
  • Night time snack...bowl of frozen fruit (cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, peaches, pineapple OR dried fruit
I never deprive myself when I am hungry, but I always try and eat sensible.  I suck at portion control!! lol  On the weekends I am more lenient, I will tend to go out for supper, order in, or go out for drinks.  

Keep in mind that I do have my bad days, where I will have a bag of chips, or whatever during the week too, but I try not to beat myself up about it, I just enjoy my treat, and tomorrow is a new day.

I try and steer clear of, except for weekends: 
  • dairy products (skin & asthma issues)
  • peanuts (skin issues)
  • grain products (bloating)
If you would like any info on this product, let me know, and I will forward you the link :-P

Have a nice weekend, hmmmm what should I eat? ;-)
