Burn 800 Calories with this Elliptical Workout!

Good evening everyone!

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe fourth of July! I didn't do much today, just worked around the house a little and then went to my parents house to watch the Royals game. We lost but it was still good to spend time with them.

I did spend some quality time at the gym today! I wanted to share with you all the ONE HOUR elliptical workout that I did. I was honestly surprised i was able to complete it.

Butterfinger Protein Breakfast Shake

Good evening everyone!

I came across this recipe for a protein shake that is suppose to taste like butterfingers. I tried it out this morning and it actually wasn't half bad! I have a 14 day supply of chocolate protein powder so I am going to see where this takes me on my weight loss journey! I'm going to have you all keep me accountable! This morning i weighed in at 312.6 and i will let you all know in 14 days what my weight is and if this shake has helped at all.

I have always struggled with my weight so I am always looking for new ideas and things to help, I will be sure to pass them on to everyone! Let me know in the comments if you have anything that's been working for you!

Love always, 

Mandi
