Month 2 #Shaklee180 Update

smoothie

As I write this, I'm about 6 weeks in to my 6-month commitment to the Shaklee Blogger program; I'd totally planned to do my written post early in the month and my vlog at mid-month, but then April got away from me (hello, Bloggy Boot Camp and Max's birthday party prep!) and now here I am!

The quick and dirty: I'm currently, as of Wednesday morning, down 18.5 lbs. I'm up 1.5 from my very lowest, but blog conferences and airplane rides (ugh, altitude) are bound to throw me off. [Thursay-morning-10-minutes-before-posting-update: I've ditched the retained weight from my trip, PLUS some! I'm now exactly 20 lbs down from my starting weight!]

I'm still, generally, very happy with the Shaklee part of the program… I've been struggling to get back on track after my weekend away, but overall, I'm still happy with it. Thanks to the Facebook group of the other Shaklee Bloggers, we've all developed some really delicious smoothee recipes, to help change it up and keep us from getting bored by the 3 flavors of Shaklee powder, and the 2 flavors of meal bars.

I'm not going to post official photos, even though I'm taking them, because I want to save the “big reveal” for the end of the program! But I *will* share this little sneak peek:

People following the weight-loss portion of the Shaklee 180™ Program can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. My opinions are my own.
