Shaklee 180 Video Diary: What My Family Thinks About All of This

When I started the Shaklee 180 program, I had very high hopes that my whole family would get on board, embrace the healthy lifestyle, and we come out of these six months no longer known as the Nally family but as the svelte family.

Well, I’m not svelte and neither are they but this program has affected all of us. First of all, THEY GET TO EAT ALL THE GOOD FOOD AND I DON’T.

Oh wait. That’s not entirely true. They usually only do that when I go out of town. Like this past week. And they had Mexican and ice cream and God knows what else.

It’s probably for the best. I’m not always so great at temptation.

So I substitute my breakfast and lunch. I say no to dessert and stay away from wine (except for the occasional one or two glasses I have every night).

But I wanted to know what my family really thought. How has my lifestyle change, including diet and exercise, really affected them? So I asked them.

They sounded extremely happy and supportive. And for the most part, they have been. But I did edit out the part where my son says I’m at the gym too much so he doesn’t get to see me (NOT TRUE). He mainly said that because I didn’t get to take him to the pool like he wanted last Tuesday before I left on a MAJOR trip.

My son does come up and wrap his arms around me and say, “Mommy, you look really skinny!” It’s all relative, of course, but I’ll take it. My husband doesn’t mind that I’m doing my own thing and has definitely noticed the weight loss. Now if I could just get him on the program…

In case you were wondering about the yummy smoothies my son was talking about, I thought I’d share his two favorites:

Banana Cream Pie Smoothee

2 scoops Vanilla Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix

8 oz Unsweetened almond milk

1 banana

1/2 tsp. Penzee’s Apple Pie Spice Mix

1 cup ice

Blend to desired consistency.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothee

2 scoops Chocolate Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix

8 oz Unsweetened almond milk

1 banana

1 tbsp. Smucker’s Peanut butter

1 cup ice

Blend to desired consistency.

So are those delicious smoothees helping? Come back tomorrow for the 150 day reveal full of my bare belly.
