green shakes, chocolate lumps, kenpo, shakeology, blah, cold

Ok, so, Kenpo (from yesterday) is done. And on top of it, I pulled out the old Ab Circle and dusted it off for about 8 minutes. Will do tonight's stretch with the BFF if she ever gets home from work. Now, let's talk about Shakeology. The coolest ever Beachbody Coach (Angie) sent me a sample of the chocolate and a sample of the greenberry. I tried the make the chocolate one the other day before I left for Miami. I was in a hurry, and maybe I didn't take my time, because I don't think I did it correctly. The packaging says 8 ounces of water. So, I pulled out my to go thermo cup thing and measured out 8 oz of h2o, and added crushed ice. I poured in the packet, put the lid on and shook the cup. And shook, and shook and shook. And then I tasted. It was thick, lumpy and while the taste was ok, the texture was so bad I couldn't handle it. So, this morning, I decided to use the blender, and more ice. This morning, however, was not chocolate. It was Greenberry. I used 8 ounces of water, crushed ice, and a blender. The consistency was MUCH better. Kind of like an icy shake. The color was somewhat off-putting. And the smell: I thought I would vomit so I held my breath. The odor should have indicated the taste wouldn't be much better. That was the nastiest thing I think I have ever tasted. It is a very good thing that Shakeology allows you to sample before you purchase, because if I had actually spent money on that, I would be slightly upset! Gross! Now, to be fair, maybe the chocolate one would have been better blended, but I did follow the directions and it wasn't great. So, if you're considering the Shakeology, I would encourage you to sample it first!
Now, let's talk about my beloved P90X. I didn't think I would make it past week one, and here I am at the end of week 5. Week one was hard. It got easier. So why has this week been so hard? Is it because I am starting to get bored with it? Is it because results aren't as quick-coming? he scales haven't moved in almost 2 weeks, except that one half pound I was so excited about last week. I'm trying not to be discouraged by that, especially since I can see the differences in the pictures. But, I still don't feel like anything is happening now. It's been too cold again to go out for my walks. I am under mega-stress with getting this school together and open. And this week was my time of the month, not to mention the whole hospital-not-breathing-thing at the end of last week. I have felt very blah for the last week, and very unhealthy. I hope this upcoming week gets better. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe we should move to Puerto Rico. Is it warmer there right now? The whole point of living in South Florida is to be warm while the rest of the country freezes. I'm not suppose to be cold, too.
Anyway, the washer is still broken. The repair people will be out Monday. So, yesterday, my hubby and I sat at a laundry mat and did laundry. Yuck. It was ok. We played cards while we waited. It was our "date night." I said I wanted to do something different. i guess I got it! :)
