Shake it off! \u00a0 That’s what I did. \u00a0 As a stomach virus went through our family, I turned to Shakeology<\/a> both to settle my stomach and to provide the nutrients that my body needed. \u00a0 In my last post, I mentioned the progression of how I felt, \u00a0 and that on the first day, I had only Shakeology all day. \u00a0 Yesterday, my symptoms were significantly lessened but my appetite and stomach were still not right. \u00a0 I started my day with Shakeology and then tried a little breakfast and a little lunch, but my stomach was simply not ready and protested vigorously. \u00a0 For dinner, I went back to a shake consisting of plain yogurt, banana, a little peanut butter and a scoop of Shakeology and my stomach completely settled down again. \u00a0 In two days of eating very little solid food, I completely controlled my diarrhea, I was able to continue working, do a light workout each day and lost only .8 pounds. \u00a0 As today unfolds, I have already worked out and seem able to resume a full schedule of being a full time work at home Dad!<\/p>\n

Why not try Shakeology risk free<\/a> and you too will see how your health will be improved and your ability to keep going when the going gets tough, enhanced. \u00a0 To learn more about Shakeology<\/a> and to order, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
