I am currently on Day 2 of my 3 Day Refresh and it’s going well! But, I want to document my first day as well as the grocery shopping. And, I’ll tell you all!! The good, the bad and the ugly. Here goes…
Sunday was my grocery shopping day. I made a list of foods I would need from the guide and came home with this…
Yum, right?? Look at all those colors! Remember, this is not a starvation diet or juice cleanse. It is real, clean foods along with shakes to “reset” and clean up your body.
I woke up yesterday morning and logged my start weight, took a before picture and measured my waist. These are the three areas that I wanted to track and see if there is a noticeable change.
Then, it was on to making breakfast. It was my chocolate Shakeology and strawberries…delicious!
I was totally full after eating this, and honestly, think I would have lasted until lunch no problem. I tell ya, I don’t know which super foods in Shakeology do it, but it really curbs my hunger for several hours. I LOVE THIS! Normally, with a regular breakfast, I am always hungry about two hours later.
Next up, mid morning, was the Fiber Sweep. This is a packet that is mixed with water. And I have to be totally honest…it is not good. Nope, not at all. But, it’s super simple to make by just adding water and mixing. Then, you just chug it as quickly as possible. Remember, you are doing good things for your body!!
Lunch is much better! ;) It’s a veggie and a fat plus the Refresh Vanilla Shake…
There is a snack after lunch, which I forgot to photograph. But, I had celery and hummus. Yum. You can also have several herbal or green teas throughout the day, if you choose.
I choose to make a spinach salad for dinner. It was HUGE! I actually had trouble eating all of it…I was full! You pick any of the dinner recipes listed in the guide PLUS one last Vanilla Refresh shake…
I finished the salad but just couldn’t finish the shake. That is how filling everything was! Now, again complete honesty, I’m not a huge fan of the vanilla shakes. Vanilla is never my favorite flavor. I wish I could add a bit of cocoa to it, but I want to follow the program perfectly.
So, what did I think of the first day?? I really loved the fact that I wasn’t hungry the entire day. I was fully expecting tummy rumbles and desperation! ;) But, no, I was very much full. My energy was a little low in the evening, despite being full. I’m always a bit of a crab when I don’t have much carbs and yesterday was no exception. My husband is probably very grateful that it’s only three days. Ha! But, I woke up this morning feeling great and the scale is already rewarding me!! I’m going to post my final results Thursday morning, but I am super excited about where I am at right now!
One crazy thing I noticed is that I really missed exercising yesterday. Even though the program recommends that you can maintain your fitness during the Refresh (just don’t push yourself), I decided it would be best for me to not workout. I did not want to get super hungry or exhausted and wanted to focus solely on my Refresh. But, crazy enough, I missed it!! This, coming from a girl who thought exercise was crazy just a few short months ago, is amazing in and of itself!! So, I am super excited about getting back to it Thursday.
Okay, I’m going to finish it up today and tomorrow and then post all my final results and experiences Thursday morning. Can’t wait!
In the meantime, if you are looking for a way to jumpstart your fitness and health goals, I think you would love the 3 Day Refresh along with drinking Shakeology every day. Shakeology changed my life. Really. And it can change yours, too! I’d be happy to customize a fitness program and meal plan for you, and along with your shakes, you can watch your energy increase, the pounds melt away and your muscles become strong! Contact me if you are ready to start your fitness journey.
See you Thursday!
