Today’s weigh-in 174 and I’m extremely happy with those results. Yesterday was an Indian Buffet kind of day — my weekly luncheon with a dear friend. He choose buffet and “ok” Life lesson #12 – make plans with friends and keep them.

Experimented with today’s shake. Added a few more ice cubes, more spinach and kale, and more strawberries. I’m still drinking it as we speak because that baby is thick! I’m talking McDonald’s milkshake thick. Experiment failed, but if I didn’t try, I wouldn’t know. Tastes great — too thick.

Drank an 8-ounce cocktail of Herbalife24 Hydrate and Herbalife Herbal Aloe Concentrate Mango Flavor and off I go. Goal. Stronger and faster than my last run.

After an 8+ mile run earlier in the week, went for a shorter, faster pace.

After a change of pace run to help build stamina and endurance, went directly into a weights session. 4-sets of 12 dumbbell floor presses and the last set of 15 presses. Worked between in-and-out curls with dual bands for increased tension and single band work shoulder presses. After getting my heart rate up from the quick run, I didn’t have the same twinge in my left shoulder when I brought the weights down. Note to self – warm-up next time. Finished off these 3 movements with a final physical therapy movement I learned from Doug yesterday. There is noticeable progress and I am thankful for that.

So, decisions-decisions. Herbalife24 has a Rebuild Endurance and a Rebuild Strength. I ran which falls under the “endurance” category. I did weights which is “strength.” Let’s do a scoop of both in an 8-ounce glass of water.
