Dear Mr. Elevator Man

Happy Monday all you awesome people!! Happy Veteran's Day to all of our solider serving now and that have served! You guys are much appreciated!  I have been asked by a few people * waves at Terri, hey girl!* about my Vi Shakes and if I am still on my weight lost mission. I am ....... slowly! LOL. I am no longer on the shakes, because * men scroll along, getting personal* it throws off my cycle. The soy in the shake makes it wwaaayyy longer and I am NOT here for it. Like, not at all, not tomorrow, not next week, not after I have children, NOT NEVER . My parents are on it and they are doing pretty well. My mom's was the same way, thank God it wasn't the menz I'm not ready , but she is down to one shake a day.  So I lost 15 pounds in two weeks, a little while back. I thought I was SO fine, I stopped working out. Chile ... that 15 pounds jump right back on my wide ass in just a few shorts weeks. I always say I'm not going to do another diet, I'm just going t...

Another random post from you know who :)  I just want to say thanks for everyone who enjoys this blog. This started out as an idea that a friend suggested from FB and has turned into a pretty amazing thing for me. I have about 40 post, with over 1800 views. Can you believe that? With all the misspelled words, and misplaced words in this blog you would think people would be like " this girl needs to go back to school". NOPE! I'm still paying back student loans now.  So just a few random thoughts and answers to your questions. I really have emails!!! I'm still in denial, don't worry.  1. I don't think I'm funny. I just write whatever comes to mind.  2. Yes, there is really a MEM. My friend "Sam" has seen him on the elevator.  3. I am still thinking about accepting your "profiles" for MEM. IDK. You guys are kinda cray. 4.Yes I know my blog is super wack. Aint nobody ask you to be nasty! HOE! I didn't think people were going...

Yesterday I was OVER IT! Like I was ready to throw the towel in. I was having a conversation with this jelly ( belly ) and I was just asking it to compromise with me in certain outfits. Yes, we have that type of relationship. BUT she was on something else. Like Hey girl, I'm here to stand out! No one cares about what you want. So after a bottle of wine, don't judge I only drank a few sips, I decided I didn't want to do a "diet". I just wanted a meal plan and a more extreme work out. Let's just praise God for Google ok! So a good friend, who I haven't seen in forever, Jennifer, is ALWAYS talking about this Paleo thingy-mah-bob. She LOVES bacon  I love bacon  and she LOVES to eat I love to eat and she's THIN AS EVER! Not like crackhead thin, but like a really nice thin. Just go with me now ......... So I Googled it and thought hhhmmmmmmm I could use this as a meal plan. Its just eating what grows, in a nut shell. NO processed food. Listen, I will ...

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I don't understand why this weight just doesn't come off. I mean I really don't want you to stay here Mr.Weight, I would much rather you pack you all your extra friends and get the flapjacks off my body! I got on the scale yesterday and it stated that I gained ALL the weight I lost PLUS 5 MORE POUNDS! Let's just say this girl was NOT a happy camper. Then I went and measured myself. Why in Satan's toenails did I do that? Listen my bottom in bigger than most of you guys TV! Although I can say I am proud that my top half and bottom half are/is/whatever bigger than my stomach/waist area I am still OVER IT ! My hunny and bestie are trying to cheer me up but I really AIN'T here for it. I was going to go on a water diet. Yes I know ..... what the hell are you thinking Shanice! Well I was thinking this fat would fall off since I would be putting no calories in myself. Let's just say ...

So I've gotten a GREAT number of emails asking me why I stopped taking my Body By VI Shakes. This post is just me going into details on why, at this moment, I am not shaking. TEHEHE .. I like that " shaking " . A few days after I hit my 10 pound marker, I weighed myself and I had gained 3 pounds. So I went about my usually routine, shake-snack-shake-snack-dinner-workout; and weighed again. I had gained another 2 pounds. So I was in my 3rd week and had gained 5 pounds back, and let's just say this girl was no happy camper.  I also started getting weird headaches about mid-afternoon. Now this could have nothing to do with the shakes but let's just say I haven't had them since I've been off of them. I am off of the shakes right now, but I'll be back on them in Mid - August. Since being off of them I have dropped 3 or the 5 extra pounds, can I get a WHOOP WHOOP! So just a few things I want to go over : Although I am not on the shakes, I still eat o...

Listen, I need a rant! I am so OVER this shake. I just want to go to Cracker Barrel and have a GREAT, BIG, LARGE BREAKFAST! Instead, I'm having a Cranberry Crush shake. =( This morning, I barely bite the Hunny's head off because I wanted a breakfast biscuit sssoooooooooooo bad! I woke up HUNGRY as crap, and this shake was just not doing it. BUT I drank that shake, that not breakfast sandwich shake, and now I'm having water. I just want you guys to know that, yes I am struggling too. I think it's just a day phase. Yesterday I was ok, and the weekends are so good to me because they fly by! I love the weekends because I'm always on the move and then WAH-LAH its time to eat. So I am down 10 pounds. I have learned how to weigh myself correctly, and I will start doing measurements ....................... whenever I figure that out. So I hope you guys are doing better than me. I'm still pushing on. I said 90 days huh? Please pray for me. xoxoxox Missing my bre...

It is so gloomy out today. UGH! I hope your day is brighter than mines. I did another late night run yesterday and to be honest I think I like them better. The sun isn't beaming on me, trying to give me cancer, and it isn't so hot. Now if I could just get the bugs to stay out of my mouth, I would be AH-OH-KAY! Today I have two new recipes!!!!!!! { insert yay here } I made a strawberry Short Cake and a Smore shake. MMMWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! The Smore (recipe below) was really good! I forgot to put Graham cracker crumbs in it but it was still yummy! It wasn't to much to sweet or anything. I had it for my first meal of the day. I also had a sausage biscuit this moring, with only the bottom bread. SUE ME BUT I WAS FIENING! So if you have eaten something you know you shouldn't have, its OK! We all mess up from time to time! Now back to the shakes! I made a strawberry shortcake ( recipe below) on accident. I was making a cheesecake but some how when I added Graham ...

Hellllloooooooooo oh kind people!!! Today I am not having any new kind of shake. I was running late this morning and the mom called so I just threw some stuff in the blender and WAH-LA! So instead of talking about the shake I'm going to talk about these crazy cravings I'm having and how I'm fighting them off. So I use to have breakfast every morning before work, and now I have a shake. Late last week, I was craving Ihop remember? Well i fix a sandwich and a salad for lunch. About 930, I take one bite of my sandwich and about 12 oz of water and I'm good for another 45 minutes or so. Then the hungry giant REALLY KICKS IN! So I eat half the sandwich and get down about 20/30 oz of water. Yes I pee like a Russian RaceHorse! When it gets close to about 1130, I finish the sandwich and get my water ( 78oz bottle) down to about half. Now I have another shake waiting but I always get hungry towards the end of my day. Wanna know what I do? Eat that flipping salad, thats wh...

So I'm back! I'm on Day 11, which is technically day 16, but my mix didn't get here until Friday. Let me just say I'm over this one day shipping crap! I think the post office hates me too. Any who, Good news! I'm down 6 pounds .  * Does happy dance * I am trying to drop 4 more before Friday. I will have to watch it on Thursday. I love BBQ and all those lovely sides and sauces. I see a lot of running in my near future. OK I'm back ... had a moment. So this weekend I had a Caramel Shake , Berry Blast , Oreo and Caramel . This morning I had a Cranberry Crush and I made a Strawberry Caramel one. (Recipes Below) So I'm going to try to keep this short, but you guys now how that goes! So the Caramel shakes where SUPER SWEET! Like, I drank so much water after them it was crazy! It is sugar free and the recipe stated 2 table spoon, but unless you want to go into a suga' coma ( yeah I made that up) only add 1. It wasn't to thick, so add more ...

* QUE DRUMS * I have lost .............................................................................................................................................................................................. 4 POUNDS!!!! At first I was just so down because I didn't lost the total five BUT I am  happy with the lost. I mean 4 pounds in a week seems good to me! I work out every day for 30 minutes, mostly jogging, and eat a full dinner. So if you are reading this thinking this is going to be a quick fix, you can move right on along. Now I am upset that my new package isn't here yet, after they stated it would only take a day! I should've just went with the same people I ordered from the first time. So I am watching my calories and making regular smoothies without the shake mix. Today I had a breakfast biscuit, which I ate the inside of, and I'll have a lettuce wrap from Jimmy Johns for lunch. Thats only about 600 cals in total, so I will be sure to have a f...

Today is Day 7!! One week down and I have come to not totally vomitting over this Almond Milk. I was going to weigh in this morning, but when I thought about it I had all my clothes on, in the car, at the Quik Trip gasing up. SSSOOOOOO yeah! I promise I will weigh in tomorrow morning. I will say that I weighed myself Saturday and I was down 3.5 pounds. So fingers crossed that I'm at least at 5 pounds this week. My aunt is also on this and she has dropped 20 pounds in 3.5 weeks. Trust me, if I didn't see it with my own eyes I would be like " girl you bulllllllllllll crapping!". So even if I don't lose as much as she did in my 3.5 week mark, which I'll be super pissed about  I will still push on! This morning I am having my Cafe Latte  and Strawberry OJ (recipe below)! I had these yesterday as well. That post was just so long, that I didn't want to list this since I knew I would have it twice in a row. The Strawberry OJ give me a major energy boost. Ye...

How was your weekend? Did you eat some GREAT things? I was craving breakfast so bad on Saturday morning, but I knew that we were going to see a movie that night and we would be stopping to eat out so I just daydreamed about an amazing IHOP breakfast. Saturday Morning I had a Strawberry Pink Lemonade Smoothie (receipe below). It was good and thick. I added strawberries because fruit makes the shake thicker and the pink lemonade was a little tart by itself. If you like that tart taste, then just add more ice and no strawberries and you should be good to go. I went on a morning jog and had my shake afterwards. It usually takes me about 30 minutes to drink the entire thing but I KILLED IT in 10 minutes. Thristy much? That afternnoon I had an Oreo shake (recipe below). OH ME GEEEEEEEE!!! It was so good I licked the cup! If you have a sweet tooth and are having to fight yourself to stay away from the kitchen, or bakery at the grocery store. THIS IS FOR YOU! I know I said the strawberry...

Shake Shake Shake! Shake Shake Shake! Shake Yo Booty! Too Much? Well it's Friday good people!! So yesterday I had the best homemade salad in the world for dinner. I was very proud of myself. I didn't get to jog yesterday because I went grocery shopping, then the other half left the lettuce at the store so I had to go back. All that that plus after work traffic. O.o YUP!!!! When I settled in, it was dark outside. I so could've did my NTC work out app but yeah I took a bath and went to bed. This morning I made an OJ Shake (recipe below). It was AWESOMENESS! It wasn't as thick as the others I've made but it was good. It really taste JUST like OJ. So I think I have found my two breakfast shakes. If you want your to be thicker add more ice. I think I might add actual pieces of oranges next time. This is a plus! For lunch I had Strawberry Cheesecake ( recipe below). The sky opened up and poured this out for me. It is a piece of heaven! If you have a sweet tooth...

Yes, I'm still alive! Although that jog yesterday almost had me on the ground. I know last time I started working out it took me about a week to get my " joggers legs " so let us all be in prayer. I weighed myself this morning, don't tell anyone, and I was down 2 pounds. *FIST PUMP* I am not going to weigh again until day 7. I just needed to see if this was something that started working ASAP or if I needed to give it a week to kick in. Lets just say that motivated me to go back jogging today. I had tuna salad for dinner last night and two boiled eggs as a snack. I will continue to have my shakes in the morning and afternoon because when I made it home, I was ready for some REAL food. On to today's shakes! I had the same Cafe Latte as yesterday. Today I added an extra table spoon of instant coffee and I was on cloud 9. It was so much better than yesterday's. I drank the whole thing in about 15 minutes. I think one of these days I'm going to heat it ...

So my mother told me to do this or else suggested this weight lost shake for 90 days, to try. I don't know about others but weight lost in always on a sista's mind. So after reading up on it and talking to others I was again threathen by my mother decided to give it a try! I bought this from Amazon for 47.50 with free shipping.This bag is for 30 days, but I am sharing my bag so I'll be buying another one shortly. It came in 1 day.  LOOK AT GOD ! I am PUMPED!  Long story short, you drink two shakes a day as meal replacements, with healthy snacks and a full dinner. I am doing both of mines for breakfast and lunch while I'm at work. The powder is about 90 calories and you can make all types of different types of shakes/smoothies/drinks. I have a full list! I didn't see many personal blogs about this so I thought what the heck! I'm the most honest person I know. OK on to what I had today. I will list the ingredients at the very end. For Breakfast ...
