Good morning!
I must say, it has been some time since I got up at 4:45am and WOWY'd in BeachBody's virtual gym. All I can say is I miss the early morning workouts. There's nothing like an awesome workout first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach! And, my workout is out of the way for today. I feel terrific! Again tomorrow, I am committing myself to a WOWY workout at 5:00am. If you wish to join me, log-on to the BeachBody virtual gym by going to www.wowy.com. If you need help, please email me. I'll be glad to assist you!
Hugs,
Gator

Shakeology! It's Finally Here!
Okay!! Many of you are asking for more information about the new BeachBody product - Shakeology!!! Well, here it is!!!! Read on for more information!
This is a meal replacement shake with 70 different ingredients in it (too many to name.) NO CAFFEINE. The ingredients cover 6 macro & micro nutrient groups: digestive enzymes, protein/amino acids, vitamins/minerals, anti-oxidents, phytonutrients, and pre-biotics. Bascially it takes out all the guesswork for proper nutrition. You literally get all the veggies you need in that shake. Of course, I still want you eating veggies. :-)
A 90-day clinical study led by a MD was conducted with 2 test groups. The first group only used Shakeology once/day. The second group used Shakeology once/day, plus exercised 3x/wk and ate healthy. The first group, on average, reduced their oxidative damage by 45%, reduced their degerneative disease (forgot to write down the %), reduced cravings, and lost 10 lbs. The second group had all of the effects of the first group, PLUS, on average, reduced their total cholesterol 30%, reduced their LDL (bad cholesterol) 38%, and reduced their cardiovascular risk 24%!!!!!!! In comparison to several other available products, such as Jamba Juice Acai, Herbalife, Monavie, and V-8 V Fusion, Shakeology blows them all away!!!!
Cost: For a 30-day supply (one shake per day,) $119.95 is retail, $107.95 is club members, and $89.86 is coach price. Once you start breathing again :-), I want you to know that this is actually a great deal. It's comes out to $4/shake for retail and $3/shake for coaches. Remember this replaces a meal. I mean, how many of us drink Starbucks? Starbucks runs, on average, $4/specialty coffee but may be 360 cal, 51 carb, and 46 sugar. Shakeology is only 140 cal, 17 carb (that's only 1 carb serving), and 9 sugar. As I started breaking down the cost, I want you to know that I realized this is the perfect time to become a coach. Coaches receive 25% off all products. The savings is $30/month. Coaches pay a $15/month business fee. We still save $15 from retail cost!!!!!!!! In essence, that is $180/year!!!!! The initial coach fee is $40. Because we have $30 discount from the retail cost, technically it would only cost $10 to become a coach!!!!!! This is an exciting time!!!!!!! If you have more indepth questions about Shakeology and/or becoming a coach, I'd be happy to converse with you via email or phone.

Hello Again!
It has been a whirlwind of a week! My son and I were both sick with different forms of the flu virus. It was awful! Unfortunately, I was unable to run in the 5 mile race I entered. I was so disappointed missing it. But, I am planning to run in a 5K run this coming weekend. I am looking forward to getting back into a regular regimen again!
As for my fitness regimen, starting tomorrow, I am getting back to my training schedule of alternating resistence training/Slim in Six and running - 3 days of each per week for a total of 6 days of training per week. As the weather becomes more consistent, my training will focus more on the running since I am training for the mini-marathon this fall.
There's a new BeachBody product out that you may be interested in! I will share more information in an upcoming post. It is a yummy shake that everyone is going CRAZY about!
Hugs,
Gator

5 Mile Run
Greetings! It feels like days since I've been able to post. I have been extremely busy and, unfortunately, my blog is what had to take the back burner.
I am excited to announce that I am scheduled to run in a 5 mile race March 21st. I am very excited about the upcoming event. I've been running everyday (some training runs, some distance runs, etc). I am also planning to run in two 5K races scheduled for March 28 and April 18. I can surely say that registering for these races has been an immense motivator. I am really pumped about these runs!!!! I've also been doing LOTS of reading about pre- and post-run meals, in addition to some training tools. I am excited to share this information on my blog over the next week or so.
I am sure glad to be back. Please stay tuned - more exciting information to come!
Hugs!
