Hello Everyone!

I can't believe it's March already! Time flies, doesn't it?  Sadly, today is not as nice of a day outside as yesterday was but I will still be walking today. I am at work right now, I also plan on doing my Meta when I come home, complete with DC.  For lunch today, I brought a salad with a cut up egg and some cut up tofu with balsamic vinegar to put on top. Tonight I am having another salad for dinner, but also going shopping for food.

Do you guys have any plans for March? Post in the comments below!

Abcentric Day 12

Hello everyone!!!


So far I am still 12 days strong on the Metamorphosis train! I still only did 20 reps of the leg work again but I think I am used to it now.  And of course, 30 minutes of cardio- really sweating it out!


A word about ab level 2- on the left and right legs she does some of the moves slightly different- I do not know if this is an editing error or she just forgot- What I do is I just repeat exactly what she did the FIRST time on the right side.  


I am so proud of myself so far for 1. sticking to the workouts and 2. keeping my diet very well in check!!! Today is just a quick check in, I will have updated measurements for you in about a week from now but I can still see my body changing even after last measurement!




Have a great weekend and keep up the great work YOU guys are doing too!!!

Tracy's Shake Taste Test

Hello everyone!

Just want to let you guys know I did try the shake this morning for breakfast.

It's pretty thick, even when using a full 12 ounces of water. 

For mixing, it does mix well in a shaker cup. I have what they call a "blender bottle" which is a shaker cup with a whisk ball in it.

The amount of powder used per shake is pretty sizeable, the scoop is pretty big and you're supposed to use 2.

And the most important thing you all want to know- How does the stuff taste????

Well, it's no Slim Fast. Slim fast tastes like liquid candy. This stuff tastes like they put the bare minimum of sweeteners in to make it taste somewhat like chocolate.  There is also a somewhat bitter aftertaste but it's drinkable.

Shakes like this SHOULDN'T taste like candy anyway, that means more junk in it.  I think the main junk culprit in this shake is the evaporated cane juice but I don't think there's that much of it in there based on taste.  Eventually I do want to try Sun Warrior which is actually a lot cheaper and has NO sugar whatsoever, and is also raw vegan. 

The bottom line- if taste is really that important to you- maybe this isn't the best thing to get (although I have heard of people blending berries and such into it for added sweetness).  I do also feel somewhat satisfied in terms of hunger, but I am also the queen of "I'm not hungry in the morning".

I will be posting later after my first workout. Have a great day!

The shake mix has arrived!!!

Hello everyone!




My Tracy shake powder has arrived today!  This entry will be pics of the bottle, and a list of what's in it.  I have not tasted it yet, I wanna wait until Monday morning to have it for breakfast and see how I feel, etc.


Took some pictures of the bottle. If you got the 14 day shake, you will get one bottle, if you ordered the 28 day like I did, you get 2.

I ordered the chocolate flavor but it also comes in vanilla. It DOES have its own measuring scoop in the can, and each shake is 2 scoops. 


Here is the full ingredient list (it's not on the main webpage for the shakes, unless I'm missing something)


(Proprietary blend of Rice protein isolate concentrate and pea protein isolate, Aminogen (an enzyme that helps protein absorption), L-Glutamine, Glycine, and Taurine), Evaporated cane juice (this ingredient might be a no no to some people because yes, it is a form of sugar), cocoa powder, fiber complex (Inulin, Beta Glucans, Oat fiber), Sunflower oil, IgG 2500 (in short, a blend of immunity boosting enzymes), Natural flavors, Medium chain triglycerides, Arabinogalactan, Broccoli seed extract, sodium chloride, xanthan gum, guar gum, potassium citrate, sodium citrate, stevia leaf extract.


How does it taste? Don't know yet, going to start having it for breakfast on Monday morning when I start hipcentric, or I might try it in the morning tomorrow. Not sure.  


The pricing is 69.95$ for 14 days, 120$ for 28 days (28 days is autoshipped and has free UPS shipping, so I guess you do save a little money with that.)


Going to do some workouts today too, this morning I already did my webisodes.  Have a great Friday and to my military readers- Happy Veteran's Day!
