Shakeology vs. the World (or, at least my morning cup of joe)

I'm pretty sure I've told y'all about how my recent switch to Shakeology has negated my need for coffee. I'm talking, no headaches, no grogginess in the morning, not even a desire for caffiene...which is amazing in itself. And I've been feeling great, peppy, naturally energized, etc. Ha. Well, last night, I found out the nutritional comparisson between my chocolate shakeology and my regular Starbucks standby, a White Mochoa...sigh. If you don't want the truth, don't read on. This is sad....

Shakeology                                      White Mochoa(Grande)
140 Calories                                    350 Calories
15 grams protein                              9 grams protein
1 gram fat                                        13 grams fat
19 carbs                                          51 carbs
9 grams sugar                                  46 grams sugar

Like I said...sad. BUT so eye opening. I can't believe how many EMPTY calories and SUGAR I was letting in my body. And when I saw it, I had to share it. So often we get concerned with calorie counting and food journaling, but we leave out something like that morning cup of joe. Incredible.

In other news, I have a sick baby boy. Micah has NEVER been sick, never been on antibiotics, nothing. Two and a half years old...baby boy's been puking since yesterday. Bless his wee little heart. Fever has subsided with tylenol (one of a handful of times he's even taken THAT, he passed out on the couch afterwards, and there's no alcohol in it! Sweet thing), and he hasn't returned any food since last night...we'll see how a light lunch goes. He's my total snuggle buddy, and while I love the snuggles, I just want him to be better!

I am going to start vlogging. Yes, it's true. I'll be uploading them directly to my facebook community page until I get my youtube channel up and going...but since I'm doing P90X right NOW, I think it will help me stay motivated to vlog my experience...maybe it will motivate you, too!!!

I've already decided that one of my gifts to self when I reach my goal weight is a banging new pair of heels. I am thinking of these right now:

I loooooove shoes, but can hardly afford new ones. But these shall be mine...just you wait!

How's YOUR January going? Anything exciting in the land of you?
