For the last few days, Mike and I have tried out this kit from GNC. We both have different reasons for why we are using it. I mainly wanted to try it out because I have hit a weight plateau, even after the amount of biking and working out I do. I saw this in the store and looked up the reviews and found that most people lost about seven pounds in one week on this. I am not really doing it for the weight loss, more just to see if I can get below my plateau and try and get a routine of taking supplements (which is highly recommended by ALL the fitness magazines I read) as well as drinking some protein shakes (which should be done after a workout).
It is so good to get you in a routine! I am on day three right now and I haven’t even weighed in but I can tell a few things. One, I love how it helps me to eat healthy all day (it comes with a meal plan). I really need someone to tell me when to eat and what to eat. I found I had a lot of this stuff already! Two, I have built muscle. I just looked in the mirror and could actually see my belly button. No joke, I have never seen my stomach like it has. Three, the shakes are really good and keep me full. The only thing that wigs me out a little are the supplements. I get really jittery and also can’t sleep. (Hence, why I am blogging at the wee hours of the morning.)
Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on our final results. This kit is supposed to “kick start” a balanced diet and really like how it prepares you to be healthy. It’s fun to experiment and be a nerdy science teacher on myself. Ha ha.
Pretty gross right?? The frosting kind of looked rotten but the cake looked normal when we cut it. So what do we do? We eat it anyway!
(Sidenote: Please ignore the lack of make up. Remember, I am on summer vacation, darn it!)
Mike and his very proud look.
