3 Weeks Down!!...Feeling Awesome!

So, I hit a bit of a low spot last week and was feeling a little discouraged but I didn't give in to anything. Just decided that I would find some more determination deep within myself and find a way to kick things up a notch! 'Rise To The Challenge', you might say! I also decided to have my 2nd shake at dinner since we have been busy running arounded each night until late and I find myself starving and eating too much because it's 8 PM, which is way too late to eat! So within only 3 days of doing that I lost 4 more pounds!! And this is even considering that I am eating a very decent and satisfying lunch during the afternoon too! I love it! My food even is tasting better and I find myself CRAVING eating HEALTHY foods. Which, I must say that I have always been a good eater, I love my veggies and make good food choices but this is an actual craving for GOOD food.

My breakfast shake has on a regular basis consisted of 2 scoops of my ViSalus Sciences Vi Shake Mix, one banana, one TBSP of all natural peanut butter, 2 TBSPS of Vanilla Dannon Light & Fit yogurt and 8 ounces of Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk. Yummy! And it keeps me quite full until lunchtime. I have also just discovered aproduct called PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter which has 85% less calories than even the All Natural Peanut Butter!This is going to cut my shake calories down even more! Which wasn't that high to begin with!! I'm psyched! Check it out at: http://store.bellplantation.com/4-Pack-of-1LB-Bags-of-PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-p/1lb-pb2-04.htm



Friday night we had a fantastic visit from Royal Ambassador in ViSalus, Mike Craig and were thrilled to be able to hang out with him for business discussion afterwards late night on the waterfront in St. Petersburg. What a motivated, interesting, nice guy! Thanks for all of the pointers Craig! I have loved getting to hang out with him as well as our 4 Star Ambassador Heather Guzzino and learning some of their business ideas and just their view on spreading the word about how fantastic this company and the Body By Vi product line is!

When I began on this 90 Day Challenge it was all about getting healthier, feeling better, BEING healthier and getting back into my 'skinny' jeans. But now, after using the product for a bit over 3 weeks and truly seeing how amazing it is and going to the Challenge Parties and hearing other people's testimonies and success stories, I am amazed and excited! I am thrilled to be involved with such a great group of people and to have found such an incredible product that has a company that stands behind what it does. They give you everything that you need to succeed! All you need to do is use the product, feel great and tell people how great you feel!

So...here I am, Day 26 of the 90 Day Challenge. I have lost 8 pounds and am down 2 inches and so far with hardly ANY work I have made a small amount of money AND I am getting my next months of product for FREE!!! How fantastic is that? And, I'm having fun!! I feel better physically, my mood has transformed incredibly, my energy is phenomenal and NO MORE BRAIN FOG! Wow! Yeah, I can keep doing this for a long while!

My fiance started last week only doing a shake a day and he has already lost 5 pounds-this week he is swtching to 2!! and our friend Ginger started last Tuesday and was only doing a shake a day and has lost 3 pounds!!

Well, that's it for my 3 Week Update! Lovin' the Vi Life! Catch ya next week!!

2 Weeks Down!!

2 Weeks Down!
Posted by Chrissy. April 14, 2012

Wow! Can't believe that it's been TWO weeks already. What a whirlwind! Between the people that I have met through becoming involved in ViSalus and the positivity of the 90 Day Challenge - it's almost infectious!

I'm feeling great and I have so much energy it's hard to believe. I also have noticed a huge decrease in my craving for sweets and I cannot eat as much when I do sit down for a meal. My mood has been much better and more even and my "brain fog" has cleared! It's amazing! Plus, I am making money while I'm feeling better and working my way toward my BMW!!

I held my first Shake Party last night and it was a great success. Looking forward to our Party tonight with Guest Speaker, 4 Star Ambassador, Heather Guzzino! Should be enlightening

Day 4 and Day 5...Still Going Strong And Feeling Awesome!



This post will be for Day 4 AND Day 5! Super weekend. Tons of energy and sleeping well. Mood is fantastic! Still not experiencing that afternoon 'slump'. It's wonderful and I am not starving myself.

Have started working on some new recipes. Got my Mother-in-Law to try a strawberry cheesecake one for her dinner Saturday night and then she placed her order for some of her own! We used Unsweetened Organic Almond milk (only 35 calories), fresh strawberries, Body By Vi Shape Mix & 1/2 a package of Jello Brand Fat Free/Sugar Free Cheesecake flavor yummy! Then I whipped up a Banana- Peanut Butter one and sent it over to our Uncle Jay, he will be my next victim! :)

I decided that this product is an investment in my HEALTH. Not only am I making it a business venture for myself but I am on the road to being healthy. After the past 4 years of struggling with the Thyroid issues and the auto-immune Thyroid disease Hashimoto's, and the weight issues and the achiness and fatigue - I AM OVER IT! This has also increased my vigilance over the years regarding WHAT I am putting into my body...not just carbohydrates, sugars, proteins, calories, etc....but also hormones, soy products, gluten, nasty stuff that can harm the body and cause you more problems with inflammation, fatigue, IBS, etc. The Body By Vi Shake is Gluten-free, Lactose-free, contains non-GMO soy protein AND it's Kosher!

My best friend is battling breast cancer right now and it is an estrogen driven cancer (which can be made worse by soy intake) and I also know that soy can have some very negative affects on Thyroid function, my next study is into this topic. The wonderful thing that I HAVE discovered is that Body By Vi Shake contains non-GMO soy protein and out of ANY soy product, this is the safest. More to follow on this.

So, Day 5 on my 90-Day Challenge (day 10 on using Body By Vi Shakes), and still not having an issue with using a shake product like Body By Vi as a meal replacement. I honestly am a little surprised. I have to admit that I was concerned that I would not be able to do this but I am finding that I actually LOOK FORWARD to my shake at breakfast and lunch! And then when I prepare a super tasty and healthy dinner not only do I get full faster but I also think the food tastes more delicious thyan normal! It's great!

Cannot wait until tomorrow when my 1st Promoter Package arrives and next, my business card!! Woo Hoo!......Guess What!?....just got my UPS notification! My box is here! YAY!
