      So I cancelled my Shakeology subscription last week because I couldn't handle the thought of spending close to $100 on a protein shake.  I had maybe 3 shakes randomly and when I get hungry or have the munchies, Shakeology is not the first thing I reach for (it's cookies!). Just because I have a bag left, I decided to have a shake during the time before my workout and guess what. I noticed it keeps me full for hours! I'm going to try this a few more times and if it continues to stave off my hunger pangs and my desire to eat , I may restart my subscription.  I have the chocolate vegan flavor.  I'm not sure if  I would be a good judge on taste, because although I've had tons of whey shakes, I haven't tasted man vegan shakes. The ones I have tried have been a bit chalky also so maybe that's something we have to live with.  I mix it with water only because I don't like thick protein shakes.  If I do purchase it again, I would try the tropica...

My son has a track scholarship and hasn't been out running since we started the quarantine. So in an effort to help motivate him, I said we can go running today for 30 minutes.  His 30 minutes would definitely take him a lot farther then mine would.  Of course he dusted me so I only saw him for the first few seconds and the last few seconds of the run.  I was so lopsided and couldn't pick up my legs. It was definitely a lot of work for me.  He said he was a little rusty also, but he was able to do 3+ miles in the 30 minutes compared to my 1.75.   I don't have any updates on the Shakeology yet. I haven't been making it regularly so I can't really tell if it's done anything for me yet.  I have been doing the Beach Body workouts.  I am starting Week 3 of 21 Day fix Real Time. I  can't believe they consider that a beginner workout.  It is a lot of work.
