Body By Vi Shake Mix Test Day Three

Well we are on to day three of the Body By Vi Shake test. Had a little slip in weight(235.6) but that is not to bad(It maybe a hindrance now, but the tides can turn at anytime in this journey for me). For a nutritional supplement, it has been doing its job. I have been having it for my breakfast. Then eating sensibly or snacking for rest of day. Once you get used to the taste not bad or near as shocking to the system. Tbe lactose free milk has worked well for me, especially since I can not have regular milk.Lactose Free milk is the way to go, if you know that regular milk causes you gastrointestinal trouble, not everyone will face this, but for those that do, it is a great way to go, if you have tried all other choices with no success. (But as i mentioned in a previous post, i am also tracking my weight along the way during this time.)

Today I tried the peach flavor packet in my shake, and I have to say it is not bad. I think I did better at mixing it up today, did not taste near as chalky as yesterday. But as I said, I am still working on my blitzing skills.

Here are the pictures that go with today:

the lactose free 2%  joins the party

After the blitz session, it looks like this

this was the excess, that I kicked off my morning with, while I put the other big glass in the freezer for a time out.

Here is the peach shake chilling out for a mid morning snack.

We will see what tomorrow brings in shake land. I'm thinking strawberry packet, with a dash of chocolate syrup.  I may have a bonus shake this evening with as bad as the humidity and heat are today.  ( For my bonus, it maybe a fresh blueberry shake, I don't know.We'll see. I will post pictures when I do it)

Bonus Shake Pics:

My shake for dinner was made with fresh blueberries.

2 Scoops shake powder and fresh blueberries

Ice gets invited to the party

Lactose free 2% showed up to play, ten it got blitzed

Excess for taste test

While I had the excess for the taste test, I let the main course sit in the freezer for 45 minutes to chill

Then my hubby had me make his, with chocolate syrup, and freeze his for 30 minutes.
He is munching on it now. My hubby says it is not his speed, for him, it is the taste that has turned him off to it, but he said for what it is, it is not bad, but just not for him.

Body By Vi Shake Day Two...

Today was the second morning of the Body by Vi Shake mix test. I decided to start my morning with the orange powder additive added to my shake mix.

After adding the powders, the crushed ice from the refrigerator, and the lactose free 2% milk, and a few blitzing go around's, it came out pretty good. (Honestly the taste was a little chalky, but I think that is from the powder.)

 Here are some pictures from today: (One of the bonuses i have seen to this nutritional shake supplement is a gradual, but slow improvement with my weight. This is why i am tracking my weight in this journey also.)

Day two weight 235.0 lbs front view

Orange was the flavor for the morning

In with the 2 scoops of of shake mix

When you can not have regular milk, lactose free is great.

After all the blitz sessions the end result in the pitcher.

I put the bulk of it in the freezer for a bit .It actually came out more of a ice cream wanna be.

I finished the excess off, before having the glass from the freezer.

We will see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully more good results.

The Simon Journey Continues....

#IplayedHasbropaid

Now that I have had a couple days to play around with this game , 

that I received from Hasbro for free to test,I have to say this new incarnation 

is pretty fun. 

For the past couple days, I have played this game in small increments of time.

 Being that I have a seizure disorder, playing in spurts of time is the most 

viable way for me to enjoy this safely, without inducing a seizure. 

Where in the old day you would lay Simon in front of you and play, 

with this version  you have to hold it from the under side in one

hand, while you use the other to play the game. 

Well once you get going, it really is a fun way to kill time, especially if

you are me and waiting for the dishwasher to run its round. (3.5-4 hrs.)

When I get the chance I will be sharing this with my family and friends to see 

how they can keep up with Simon. 

Stay Tuned throughout the Summer for more updates, and who I bring the 

Simon Swipe Challenge too.

Today begins the month long blogging for the Body by Vi Sweet Cream Shake and flavor additive packets...

For the month of June, we will be looking at the Body by Vi Shake Mix and how 

effective it is for someone like me who has about 90-100 lbs to lose to get 

to a healthy weight again,as a nutritional supplement,how it taste, and how many ways it can be prepared.

My contributor for this month for the Body by Vi Challenge is 

Body by Vi Regional Director/Certified Personal Trainer Jackie Patterson. 

(You can find her website at www.jackiepatterson.bodybyvi.com)

I asked Jackie to share a bit about herself, as part of this experience, 

and I would like for you to hear that story from her own words here, 

so here is her story, as told by her: 

I am a dental hygienist~27 years, a patient introduced this to me as he

 was having great success using it for his Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I have had Crohn's for 30 yrs~ 3 bowel resections, blood transfusions, 

iron shots, prednisone, many meds and diet restrictions. 

I was unable to have any raw fruits, veggies or milk products~ Yes, diet pepsi ~ 

for whatever reason kept me from vomiting &/or out of the bathroom. 

Very frequent visits to the bathroom had me contemplating disability.

Then Visalus....

Within 60 days I was off iron shots, (hemoglobin came up) prednisone, 

and started re-introducing foods(Into shakes mainly.) Energy level back!

During this time (1st 90 days) I lost 16lbs, 4 1/2 inches & 5% bodyfat ~

was very malnourished before, & was not doing wt_loss program. 

Since then I began promoting & I am active with Crohn's Colitis Support Group ~ 

Visalus(BBVi) has helped  prevent many surgeries & many have reduced or removed 

many medications. 

My 2 grandbabies (Age 3, 1yr) are vi-babies-full term, very healthy, happy,

as their mom used Vi during preg/breast feeding 1x/day.

3 yr old calls me " Grandma Shake" & we have 1 every time she visits!

It has been a life saver for me & many others in many ways.

Used for nearly 3 yrs (April 2011)

Promoted shortly after~

Thank You for sharing your story Jackie.  

I hope you will stop by and pay her a visit, she is a really cool gal that is gonna help 

you find a Visalus Regimen that will fit your lifestyle.

Here are my beginning pictures for day one of my Visalus Journey:

What I will be using for this month.

The first flavor for day one

Before the blitzing in the Ninja

After the blitzing for day one. 

As a nutritional supplement, it has its ups and downs. I tried to get the hubby to try it, and he did. I am doing the one shake a day for a nutritional supplement, because for me i have a hard time getting in my daily allowance. You can do two shakes a day if you are geared toward the weight loss side though.

The taste for day one: nice , a little on the granular side, but that may be my 

mixing skills. Hopefully my mixing skills will improve as the month rolls along.  

With the approach of summer, this will be a great addition  for me ,

as I consume a lot of cold items vs. hot. So we will see how this journey goes.

This week I will be having my shake in the morning. Stay tuned!

Anyone Remember Simon?

I remember the simon gaming growing up. Well my UPS man just made my day and dropped off a package to me this evening. I am one of the lucky few that has the chance to be a tester for the latest incarnation of Simon.

I am so looking forward to giving this game a whirl through the summer. You never know when I will post about it, so be on the look out.

Most likely when you see me post it will have one of the following hashtags with it :

#IplayedHasbropaid
#SimonSwipeChallenge

So, Stay Tuned through out the summer to see how the Simon Swipe Experience goes. It should be very interesting.

Lilla Rose Flitter Flexi Clip goes to Kentucky and the Carolina's...

As some of you may know, I was at a convention couple weeks ago, and a side trip to see my dad's side of the family the week after.

Well, I took a very special item to test on this trip, the Lilla Rose Flitter Flexi Clip, provided to me by representative Rebecca Robinson. (Thanks Rebecca)

I have to say this was one of the most fun test I have done so far. Not many pictures though( which bit, I wish I could had done more, but was kept pretty busy with convention activities, and family outings, which was great.), but the most fun, and the most compliments ever.

Let me let Rebecca tell you a little bit about herself, and her journey in her own words:


Oh lets see here...

I started with Lilla Rose in May 2012. I found out about them via a giveaway I came across.

I looked into it more, asked a bunch of questions, and decided to start selling for them as it was a kit that wasn't too expensive, they are awesome products, and there is a low yearly quota to meet.

I am a stay at home mom to two kids, and cyber/home school our oldest and was looking for a way to bring in a little extra money for us here and there.

Lilla Rose accessories have totally replaced all my hair accessories.

I haven't tried all the products yet, but the ones I have I absolutely love!

I have various flexi clips and have figured out how to use 5 of the sizes with my own hair (mini, extra small, small, medium, and large),

I have bobby pins which are the best made bobby pins I have ever used, and I also have a couple adjustable headbands - I like them because I can use them on my 3 year old daughter as well All the products are very well made too.

And they are designed to work with any type and any length of hair




My website: http://lillarose.biz/rrobinson Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LillaRoseRRobinson


As you can see Rebecca is a great lady, and is ready to help you find a clip you will enjoy like I have enjoyed mine.

These are a couple pictures from before I headed out to the convention for the morning on April 25th and 26th, 2014. With the small flutter clip, I was able to do a nice half up to pull my hair out of my eyes.

When it came to the Carolina portion of the trip, The biggest compliment I got was from my uncle, when he said I should I recommend this to one of my little cousin's parents, for her to try for my little cousin.

I told him I really enjoy the clip for the sheer fact that I do not lose any parts, and it stays together, with the green in the dragon fly, it was also easy to find on the dresser, or desk when traveling.

(When I was at the convention people kept asking me where I got it, and I told them, and some had never heard of the company, some had, and they raved they love theirs. )

I appreciate Rebecca for participating in my blog of trying new things for 2014.

Remember to  stop by her pages mentioned above and let her know Nannette sent you.
