This is a sponsored post as part of the Shaklee Corporation blogger program. I have received free products, online support and incentives for participating in the ShakleeCorporation blogger program. My opinions are my own.
Exercise-wise, I am loving Running consistently again! Happy dance/run! :) And I love my Pilates classes. These are some of my favorite things. However, I did swim my first round of laps for the season and that was just like riding a bike. I LOVE swimming laps for a great Summer exercise. So I will be mixing these up for sure.
Here I am in my element. :)

Running May 2013
This is the update post on my first three months on the Shaklee180 Blogger Program. I have loved this experience. Each day I love the Shaklee180 Meal Bars and Smoothies. Occasionally, I do not have them. Overall, I have been consistent on the plan. I love the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bar for Breakfast with my Coffee and Water. If I miss a big hot breakfast, we have breakfast for dinner. :) And I skip the biscuits and gravy. :) I do have a little bacon and eggs. Or lean ham and eggs with a half a serving of cheese. I don't miss toast.For lunch or dinner, I have a Shaklee180 Fruit Smoothie including the protein powder and spinach with almond milk. I really enjoy these. They hit the spot when I am not hungry or when it is hot outside. And I make them an ice cream consistency and eat it with a spoon sometimes. Treat for sure. Yes, I have continued Gluten Free for eleven months now and I love it. Again, I am not celiac so there are some splurges. Yet, overall, I love the benefits of the gluten free diet for my body.
Since I love to really hold myself accountable with a little photo for you. Here we go, this was taken this morning after Pilates by a little lady who (gasp, they are still out there) didn't know what an iPhone was. Her kindness, to offer to take this for me so I wouldn't have to take a mirrored version myself, well made up for her lack of techyness. :)
See, why I work at all of this! Pear shape. These are, as my sisters and I say, "birthing hips." Thank God since these carried Twins full-term. Since the Twins, they HAVE seen leaner days, which we are well on our way to seeing again soon. Right!
Shaklee180 asked us to share what we love about ourselves, I do love my smile and eyes and right here, the way my waist looks tiny when I toss my hands on my hips in the "don't I look great" even though I am not near finishing my goal yet. :)
One thing I learned this month is that I do better maintaining and losing my weight if I have my meal during the day. :) However, I do enjoy sitting down to a candle light dinner with my family any chance I get. So, I do this some and notice the results. So I mix it up a bit.
It was a great month. I was a little slow losing, I did lose and I am thrilled.
This pic confirms that I lost just a 1/2 inch in the hips this month. Y'all a loss is a loss. At this rate, catch me next Summer for my final hip goal reached. :) We are going to work on it until we get it! :)
And I did lose 1 inch in the waist! Yea, waist. Thank you. So you see, I will be quite busy finishing the next three months of the Shaklee180 journey.
