I plan on writing a bunch of posts before I tell anyone about this blog, so hello strangers/creepers of the present and friends of the future!
So the adventure is all about getting healthier. One look at me and it's easy to see that I'm not as healthy as I can be. I've tried a lot. Not everything, but definitely a lot. I lost the most ever on Weight Watchers. About 40 pounds in just a few months! But that proved to not be what is right for me. I need something that is not complicated (no counting points or calories!) and allows me freedom in choices (no pre-packaged meals for each day). And after a lot of trial and error, I have found something that has been working for me!
I have been watching a lot of documentaries on Netflix about food. What it does to us, how the government affects the food industry, different ideas, whatnot. Then I started doing internet and book research and have come to one conclusion:
With the way I've always been eating, it's no wonder I'm fat!
One book in particular that educated me a lot was Crazy Sexy Diet. Now, I don't plan on doing all of what it suggests (a lot about balancing your pH and meditation and enemas and other such stuff I'm not too big on), but it definitely did convince me that a vegan diet is the best for our bodies.

So this is part one of this adventure: vegan!
But there is one more part.
A few weeks ago, my friend told me she was having a "shake party." I asked her for some more info and she told me she started selling nutritional products from Herbalife. So I did some investigating into it (I'm a stubborn, hard-headed lady and don't fall for gimmicks) and really like what I saw. And when I tried the shakes at the party, I REALLY liked it!
And there is part two of this adventure: protein shakes!
I'm using the allergen-free shake mix, which contains no animal products, save for honey powder. I mix the shake powder with 8 ounces of coconut milk and frozen fruit and blend it for deliciousness. That is usually my breakfast and lunch. The I have a veggie-heavy vegan dinner and two protein-heavy vegan snacks.
I will admit though... I have not been very faithful to this adventure thus far. =\ <--- That is my sheepish ashamed face. I totally kicked butt the first week I got the shake mix, but I had nothing keeping me accountable. That's what this blog is for.
Okay, now you know what the adventure is. Read about it more or leave or call me a fool or whatever you want. I'M DOING THIS!!
Happy adventuring!
