For the past week I have't experience this problem, except for yesterday. Yesterday I could barely get through the day. I had cleaning and cooking to do and my mom was coming over for a girl's night. I spent most of the day fighting the impulse to go back to sleep and to cancel on her. She was only here for a couple hours and we kept it really low key. But despite that I crashed the second she left and slept for 12 hours not-so-straight. Not so straight because I have a 14 year old dog who needs to be let out for frequent bathroom breaks and I'm a light sleeper so I wake up at every noise. The wind has been strong and beautiful today so its been knocking over things all over the neighborhood and waking me up constantly, amongst other things.
This morning at the ripe time of 11am I finally dragged myself out of bed and struggled through taking my thyroid pill and letting the dogs out. Then I sat in a fuzzy existence for an hour before I ate. Having no energy to do much I grabbed a scoop of strawberry Shakeology, added a banana, some ice cubes, a couple shakes of cinnamon, and some vanilla almond milk to my little single cup Ninja blender and buzzed up breakfast before hobbling back to a darkened corner of the livingroom to bask in my fuzzy existence.
15 minutes later. Can I shout that to you? Imagine me shouting that to you "15 MINUETS LATER!" I am snapping pictures, working on my goals for the next week. Playing with my dogs, watching TV, posting on Facebook, bouncing off the walls and waiting oh so not patiently for when my stomach calms down so I could do my PiYo workout for the day. I felt awesome, powerful, strong, POSITIVE. Life is amazing, I'm amazing, I love life, I love me, I love my dogs, I love my friends, I love those awesome people who introduced me to Team BeachBody recently... That was and still is my frame of mind. I was dancing around the house to the bellydancing music in my head and sipping on my smoothie. Bah bah bah bum bum bumpy bum dah dah dah is it too early for the neighbors to pull out my drum and shake the world? Ooops I just shook part of my smoothie onto the wall. And with that I had a light bulb moment.
Have you ever had one of those? A light bulb moment. Those times when our subconscious finally gets our conscious minds to hear what its been trying to tell us. A sudden realization that changes your world. For a week now I've been drinking Shakeology daily. Once a day I mix a smoothie with it in it. Usually in the morning. Then I'm busy busy busy all day long. I do one or two workouts, I think of amazing things to do. I sleep well at night and wake up inspired with an idea for another book. I've had so many ideas for different books this week I'm having trouble keeping them straight. I feel happy, positive, ready to take on the world. I feel...I feel like I could be a super hero. That is the power of Shakeology, Thats the difference its made in my life in just one week. Concentrated nutrition that tastes amazingly great. If this is how I feel after just one week, I'm excited to see how I feel at the end of this 30 day challenge I'm doing!
