Congrats to Kristin, who is the winner of the Shakeology Cleanse Giveaway with comment #26.
Kristin has a great blog called His Rustic Chic, so check it out. She could use some prayers right now, so send them her way!
For those who didn't win, but really want to try Shakeology, or the cleanse, leave me a comment or send me an email. I do sell the individual packets, instead of the large bags, so it isn't as big of the cost commitments. A few of you jumped right in and ordered Shakeology before the giveaway, so keep me informed of you progress.
Keep tuned in. I plan on a monthly giveaway. Not always as big as a cleanse kit, but always something fun!

Early AM Exercise
I dragged myself out of bed at 4:40am to go workout on Monday morning. I went to a class called "joggalates.". It is a combo of running and pilates. First we went and ran 2-3 miles based on ability and goals. The second half was pilates. I have never done pilates before. I can definitely feel it in my core. And, note to self: get extra padded mat and bring towel. I must have an extra bony tailbone because I am really sore there!
It felt awesome to get my workout done before I would normally not even be awake. If it is possible, I highly recommend getting up early, even just 30 minutes to exercise. But I need to convince myself of this most days. I know every Monday I must do this because I paid for it! But, I am worth doing it at home too! I paid for my videos, my treadmill, my running shoes. And I pay for it when I don't work out later in the day because there are excuses. There are no excuses at 4 or 5 or 6 am. Only sleep, and I can do that later!
So who is with me for getting up early to exercise? I need to be held accountable!
Also, not too late to enter the Shakeologgy Cleanse giveaway. Fnd out more about it here: Shakeology Cleanse
On a final note.... Weather forecast is high 77 and low 50 on Saturday. Wish it were a smudge cooler. Very undecided on what to wear.

One week to go
Only one week to go until my half. I am in my taper. But I think I have lost my mojo a bit. I am excited for the half, don't get me wrong. But I have no motivation for other exercising at the moment. True, it is taper for a reason, a time to physically and mentally cut back. But I feel like a have also let myself go. Actually I know I have. I HAVE given myself to eat whatever for this next week. And I plan to get back in the swing of things right after the half.
I plan on starting a 3 day shakeology cleanse and getting back into clean and healthy eating. I am also going to finish up Insanity and start Asylum afterwards. And i need to fit in some strength training too. I am going to try out a class called joggalates. First half running and last half pilates. I just need to get out of bed around 4:45am to do it! I hope it is the spark that gets me back to exercising first thing in the morning.
Anyone with me on exercising in the dark?
Don't forget to enter my Shakeology Cleanse giveaway so you can join in with me!

The secret of my success and October Giveaway
When I started losing weight, it was as if something just clicked. I was serious. I ran a sucky 10K race, and was overweight. I felt and looked like I was wearing a fat suit. Instead, I was just fat. So I set out a new exercise plan, and decided to watch my diet more closely.
To kick off my new program, I did the Shakeology Cleanse. I lost 7 pounds with the cleanse, awesome! I have been drinking Shakeology daily for breakfast as a meal replacement. By drinking it, I have gained so much more energy, reduced my cravings for junk food, and lowered my cholesterol.
Shakeology is a delicious, yummy treat for breakfast. My chocolate shake in the morning truely tastes like a dark chocolate Frosty. It is gluten-free, using all natural ingredients, and low on the glycemic index. I know of people using it who have had their diabetes improve, digestive and IBS symptoms improve, and cholesterol improve.
Here's a short video about Shakeology:
So to share with you my success, and to celebrate my new blog, I've decided to have a giveaway! I love giveaways, just as much as I love blogs! I've actually one a few giveaways. (There are real people on the other side of the Internet!)
What is included?
9 packets (3 for each day) of Shakeology
6 bags of Green Tea
Instructions for the cleanse
What is the Shakeology Cleanse?
The Shakeology cleanse is not fasting. It’s a nutrient dense way of eating for 3 days that allows your body to re-energize. The clean, simple, easy to digest food allows your body to process waste… and the fiber in the salad and shakes act like a towel in your system for a squeaky clean start to your diet or to break a plateau. It’s a cleanse that gives you the nutrients you need.
You get around 900-1200 calories a day (depending on fruit intake) if you follow the plan, so you won’t be a zombie for three days, but it can be slightly difficult at first. Don’t plan on working out too hard during these days due to the calorie intake. The cleanse can also be modified to 1 or 2 days to fit your liking or schedule. It’s not meant to be done for more than 3 days.
Now on to the cleanse basics!
WHAT YOU NEED:
3 SHAKEOLOGY Shakes a day
2 Cups of Green Tea a Day
1 or 2 pieces of fruit a day
1 Salad for dinner with low fat dressing and 4 oz white grilled or baked protein.
JUST SAY NO – Dairy (incl. soy or almond milk) or extra sugars are not permitted on the cleanse
REPEAT all 3 Days
1 or 2 cups of Green Tea, or the green tea pills.
BREAKFAST:
Shakeology, 1 packet
add ice
8-10 oz of water
Blend until smooth
SNACK
1 serving of fruit (any fruit you’d like!)
LUNCH:
Shakeology, 1 packet
Add ice
10 oz of water
Blend until smooth
SNACK
1 serving of fruit (any fruit you’d like!)

Need a morning work out buddy
I feel so much better when I work out early, before the kids wake up. I have gotten away from that. I love having my workout done for the day. And being able to add a second workout if I choose.
Who wants to be my morning workout buddy and help me stay accountable?
The alarm clock is not my friend!

Mostly great 12 mile run
My hubbie and I were able to juggle schedules, and I did my 12 mile run on Monday. It was a beautiful day, a bit warm for my tastes, but a strong wind which helped.
I felt really good... Kept it closed to a 10:30 pace for the first half. The second half, not as great. I really slowed down. I had decided to wear my thicker socks as practice for the half. I learned my lesson- no thick socks for the half. I could really feel a blister forming on one of my left toes. And the outside of my right knee was really tightening up. But I did finish 12 miles in 2:12, so just over an 11 minute pace. If I can maintain just a bit faster I can hopefully reach my goal of 2:20. I spent a lot of time stretching afterwards with my foam roller. I wasn't as sore after muscular wise. I did end up popping the blister under my toenail. I think it may fall off eventually.
