I have officially completed the 3 Day Refresh and my results are in!
That’s right…in just 72 hours I lost a total of 3 lbs and an inch from my waist! I was SHOCKED because I had been working on losing weight for a couple of months, now, and thought that surely it wouldn’t result in much weight loss, if any. But, it finally pushed me over that plateau that I’ve been hitting for almost a year now. (I would get down to my lowest weight and then sit there and then slowly creep back up, only to get down to that same number again but NEVER GET PAST IT! Ahh, so frustrating!) I’m not sure if you can tell the difference in this picture, but look at the seam of my shirt…I had just washed it both times so it wasn’t all stretched out. On Monday, it was fitted. Today, it was actually loose. On me. Loose! To say I am thrilled with the results is an understatement!!! I haven’t been at my current weight in SEVEN YEARS. That is because I slowly put on weight after getting married and then three children later it just kept adding up. It was the compound effect…a little over time really added up to 20+ pounds. So, I’m now making the compound effect work for me…working hard so that over time I will be at my healthiest and fittest.
So how were those three days? I’m going to be completely honest. The first day was fine…I wasn’t hungry and just felt a little tired in the evening. Day two was harder and day three was the hardest. I was definitely hungry on the evening of day two and and day three. It took a firm resolve and mindset to tell myself that this was only three days and I could do it! I reminded myself that I was doing something good for my body by getting rid of toxins that had been building up and starting clean.
I made it a priority to not schedule anything on the three days I did the cleanse, including exercise. I just relaxed and enjoyed my family. I read a books and got caught up on my favorite tv show. I kept myself busy so as to avoid thinking about FOOD. I drank plenty of water and followed all the rules in the book. And it paid off!!
So, would I do it again? Definitely! It is a serious commitment, but one that did great things for my body, both inside and out, and got me past my weight loss plateau. It’s only 3 days! 72 hours! You can do anything for 72 hours. But I am ready to get back to my workouts!
Is the 3 Day Refresh something that you’d be interested in? My results are the AVERAGE results that people have been getting with this product! You could do even better, depending on where you are starting from. It is a wonderful way to kick start your weight loss goals and to detoxify your body. I am starting a 30 day Challenge group on July 28th called the Refresh Challenge. We will do the 3 Day Refresh and then 27 days of clean eating along with a Shakeology daily. You will incorporate exercise of your choice for at least 30 minutes 3-5 days a week and learn how to make healthy food choices. I will be with you every step of the way and we will support and encourage one another! Plus, it will be fun!! If you’d like to join me, please fill out the contact form and I will help to get you started.
Until next time, take care!
