The scale should never be the only measurement of your body. There could be two different people that weigh exactly the same but have completely different body shapes and look so different. Check out the pictures of these two women.
They both weigh exactly the same but their bodies look drastically different. That is why I encourage you to take measurements of your body before and after. This will be your greatest motivation. After I completed my first round of the 21 Day Fix, I had only lost 5 lbs. If that was the only thing I looked at, I probably would have been frustrated and gave up. But I took my measurements. I lost 7 1/2 inches! That was amazing to me! That made me keep pushing forward.
Here is a short video that shows you the proper way to take your measurements.

Shakeology and Diabetes
Is Shakeology safe for diabetics?
Since needs vary for each person with diabetes, it is recommended to check with your doctor first. However, since Shakeology is a low-caloric meal replacement, with a lower glycemic index than most meals, it should be acceptable for most people with diabetes. Shakeology has been certified by an independent third-party lab (Glycemic Index Laboratories) as having a low glycemic index of 24. Believe it or not, Shakeology's GI rating of 24 is much lower than most fruits, some vegetables, and pretty much every processed food ever made. Shakeology helps to keep your sugar levels in balance while providing steady energy (avoiding that sugar spike and crash), supplying nutrition that satisfies, and helping to promote good health. Shakeology is considered safe for general use as a supplement, however if you have a unique or pre-existing medical condition, you should consult your physician prior to using Shakeology.

Shakeology Breakfast Bars
Shakeology Breakfast Bars
We went camping over the weekend and this was a great way to still get my Shakeology and they were delicious! My kids LOVED them. That's what they asked to eat all weekend.
4 scoops Chocolate Shakeology
2 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
In a large bowl, mix Shakeology, oats, and walnuts until well combined. Stir in milk. Add peanut butter and honey. Mix everything together with clean hands. That's the easiest way to get it evenly distributed. Press into an 8 X 8 baking pan making a smooth, even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate at least 3 - 4 hours. Cut into 9 square bars and enjoy!
