What you didn't know??? 3 Day Refresh-what's it all about and MY Results!!!

So I've been thinking about this post and what I wanted to say for some time now. I know you always see me post motivational quotes and give tips for fitness and health. BUT truth is.....I've been a rut for awhile now. Since this month started I've been having a difficult time staying on track with my health and eating clean. I prep, I prepare, I exercise, I write my goals,.....but haven't been happy with the results I'm getting. And another Truth is....I have been having some female issues and I think this is also contributing. I went to the doctor this week and go again next.

BUT....that's not an excuse for sure! The part that has me down is ME....yeah that mind over matter that I talk about. I have just been so hard on myself about this. That's WHY the 3 Day Refresh is perfect to jumpstart how I feel and get me back on track. No it's not a starvation diet, and I didn't feel "famished" at all while doing the program. It is a low calorie (900 a day) packed with protein and fiber refresh. I nourished my body properly and didn't feel starved.

If you didn't already know, a diet that's high in fruits, veggies, and whole grains is great for you. It's recommended that you to mild to moderate exercise while completing it. Can you hammer out a harder program?? The Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help clean your system if you're not, at the same time, also taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after intense exercise.

There is no meat or dairy during the 3-Day Refresh. But don't worry about getting enough protein. Both Shakeology and your Vanilla Fresh shakes (which I love) are packed with all the necessary amino acids that would normally come from consuming meat and dairy proteins. Many veggies contain some protein, especially greens like raw spinach and kale. Plus, organic fruits and veggies tend to be rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients--and the restorative effects of plant-based diets are well-documented ---so the REFRESH gives you a chance to take advantage of it for three healthy days!

AND then of course what you've been waiting for!!! MY RESULTS....

BEFORE

and then...

AFTER.... ( I think I see some baby abs....) 

I lost 4.8 lbs and 4.25 inches! And a lot of bloat..... I also slept like a baby while doing this. In fact, I want to continue some of the habits. I just ordered the maintenance book. I'll let you know what I think.

I haven't shared my weight in awhile.... and I honestly don't really like the scale! You see I have been exercising regularly for 5 years and counting now. At one time I was down to 145 which is where I loved to be scale wise and I could wear a size 6. Well now you see my weight but even crazier guess what I still wear a size 6. I am learning to not let myself get caught up on that number. Notice I say learning....I still get caught up with it. But I tell you I feel more healthier and fit than I have in a long time!
