Weird things happened when I started drinking in the morning...

This is my morning face before Shakeology. Wait. Who am I kidding?  This is my face most mornings.  Just ask my coworkers. Or my family. I hated mornings with a passion!!  

I used to drink my Shakeology in the afternoons, which was great (when I stuck to it).  But I'd find that come the afternoon, I wasn't hungry, so I'd procrastinate drinking it and next thing I know, it's dinnertime... 

Shortly before Christmas my work schedule changed. It switched to start at 7 am now. Ugh, right?!  I already struggled with mornings and getting to work at 8 am. How was I going to do this?! I decided to change my thinking and tell myself I CAN be a morning person.

That didn't work.

I was like a zombie. I may have even growled at people until I finished drinking my coffee. Looking back, I probably still growled at them after drinking coffee and just blamed it on whatever I felt like that day.  This needed to change.

So what if I started drinking Shakeology in the morning?  (Do I dare say it...BEFORE my coffee...) *GASP*

20 Reasons You Should Drink Lemon Water in the Morning

Adding lemon to water not only quenches thirst better than any other beverage, but it also nourishes our body with vitamins, minerals and trace elements which we absolutely need. Lemon with water can be considered the best natural energy booster. When we wake up in the morning, our bodily tissues are dehydrated and are in need of water to push out toxins and rejuvenate the cells. In other words, this homemade “lemonade” helps eliminate internal toxins, regulating proper kidney and digestive tract functions by forcing them to work as smoothly as possible.
