Affording Shakeology on a Tight Mommy Budget

When I first started my journey at the end of March and my coach suggested Shakeology, I knew it was what I needed to help me reach my weight loss goals but I had no idea how I would ever afford it.... Like most mom's I keep my household on a tight budget and between diapers, formula, and all the snacks that a 4 year old loves - I found myself unsure how I was going to make this work, but I really wanted to add Shakeology, so I had to make it happen...

As many of you know, I started with a T25 challenge pack - which means it was the T25 program and a 30 day supply of Shakeology.... I signed up as a coach so I could get a discount if I decided to continue drinking the shakes (knocked about 30 dollars off the monthly cost!)

But with a new baby that needed formula, diapers, wipes, ect - how would I ever be able to add this to my budget too???

 

Well this is how...

• I started couponing, watching ads and buying off brand... I am a name brand kinda girl, but I learned through trial and error what I could buy off brand. I watched ads for sales and I cut coupons.
• I stopped buying bottle water and paper products for daily use - yes I still use it for company, picnics or on the go.
• I stopped drinking fancy fruit smoothies  - lets face it they are just full of sugar anyways!
• I stopped eating out as often - as a busy mom, I would be running around and go to a drive thru, or café for a quick meal (I still fight this urge, as I am not a fan of cooking haha)
• I stopped buying snack foods and juices - it was hard for my preschooler at first, she was used to having her juice and salty snacks - but very quickly she adjusted and replaced them with healthy snacks!
• I was able to cut out my daily vitamins!
• Packing a lunch - when we would go to the zoo, park, amusement park, ect I would always buy lunch for myself and my 4 year old - well not only is that very pricey, but it is very unhealthy so I started packing lunches which was a great way to save money and calories!
• I switched to a cheaper hair salon - I found sometimes you really are just paying for the name, love my new hair girl!
• Bought an in-home pedicure set instead of paying for pricey pedicures - pedicures are pricey and kinda gross if you really think about it.. love my in home set, it even lasts longer!

Do I think it is worth it?

Of course! I believe Shakeology was the change-agent I needed to succeed and stick to the programs. It increases my energy (not easy with a baby), decreases my cravings (not an easy task either - as a former cereal and ice cream addict), it is SUPER CONVENIENT (could not be more convenient and easy!), and it fuels my body with antioxidants and super foods!

I do not miss a day!
