Ready, Set, Go!

Spent a bit more time planning today. I purchased an e-book called 52 Small Changes: One Year to a Happier, Healthier You by Brett Blumenthal. It looks like it's going to be a good (and easy) read. Putting the ideas into practice, however, will take more effort.

I also purchased my Arbonne 30-Day Feeling Fit Kit. It includes 2 Protein Shake Mixes (I opted for the Vanilla so that I can mix it with fruit), 2 Energy Fizz Tabs (I chose Pomegranate, my favorite), 2 Chocolate Fit Chews, 2 Herbal Detox Teas, 1 Daily Fiber Boost, and 1 Feeling Fit Guide. (Retail $276)

I then added in the 7-Day Body Cleanse ($24.50 as a purchase with purchase--instead of $49 Retail), 1 Chocolate Protein Shake Powder for more variety ($59), and 1 Caramel Fit Chews ($19), and the Daily Power Packs for Women ($99). I plan to use the shakes for meal replacement once or twice a day, and I drink the energy fizz tabs on a regular basis, just as I would drink a glass of water or a soda, if I drank sodas. The Detox Tea will be nice in the morning hot, or as an iced tea with my meals. And the Power Packs will give me the vitamins, minerals, and energy needed as I limit my calorie intake and increase my physical activity. The Power Packs and Fiber Boost will only last me the 30 Days, but the rest should last me a good two months, if not more.

Now that I have the framework built, I'm ready to begin thinking about meal plans and signing up for some exercise. I'll start on that tomorrow.
