Day 4

We are both starting to really look forward to our shakes each day. It's like a little treat, or a little dessert, and it curbs any sweet tooth we may have. Ashley usually makes the shakes but Travis decided to make one for himself. He poured in the almond milk until it looked "good", added the 2 scoops of mix, and added in quite a few berries. Needless to say, he ended up with a HUGE Vi-Shake! From now on, he'll probably just be measuring out the 1 cup of liquid the shake calls for. LOL

We had a BBQ to go to today, and ate some really yummy burgers. However, when we got home it was like our body rejected the food.We're starting to wonder if our bodies are slowly becoming accustom to the Vi-shakes that are healthy and full of nutrients? Ashley usually could eat a whole bag of chips by herself (she loves salty things), but she only had a few (maybe about 5) at the BBQ. It would be nice if we kinda detoxing ourselves so that Travis' sweet cravings, and Ashley's salty cravings were no longer a problem.

For our 2nd shake of the day Travis wanted his berry shake (orange juice, ice, frozen berries, 2 scoops of mix), and Ashley decided to try a banana cream shake (almond milk, banana cream jello pudding mix, 1/2 banana, ice). OMGEEEEEE! It taste like Ashley's favorite, banana cream pie. Travis tried it, and tried to steal it for his own! Sheesh! There was no way she was giving that one up! :) It's now a toss up between oreo and banana cream pie!

Updates:

Travis: is down 2lbs
Ashley: is down 3lbs **don't worry, she will not wither away to nothing as she is weight lifting and actively trying and succeeding in putting on muscle :) 

Day 2

In honor of National Donut Day, we made a Maple Bar Vi-shake for breakfast!

 2 scoops of mix, 8oz almond milk, and a splash of imitation maple flavoring. It was actually really good, and it tasted just like a maple bar! We also liked that it came without the bloat and sluggish feeling you get when you eat donuts. A traditional maple bar has approximately 460 calories. It's sweetened dough that's been fried, what can do you expect!? My Vi-shake only had 130 calories and 23 vitamins and minerals, and other ingredients to that help burn fat. The nutritional value of these shakes, still blows us away: 

Ashley posted on our facebook page that she has created a 30 day challenge for herself. She plans to complete 20 pull ups and she has 30 days to do it! This is pretty ambitious as she currently, can't do very many. They say that red bull gives you wings, well we think that Vi-shakes give you confidence and drive! Travis is installing a pull up bar in the garage, while Ashley is working on some barbell curls to build up strength! 

29 days to go for Ashley's mini challenge!

Updates on the challenge:

Travis isn't exhausted mid-afternoon like he usually is.

Ashley has no stomach bloat whatsoever, and her stomach is completely flat.
