Shakeology Days 2 & 3

I'm done with my Shakeology cleanse!  And let me tell you, it was definitely a challenge.  I've never done any type of cleanse or fast and it was tough.  But I feel great today. 

Day 2 was really hard.  I tried changing up my schedule, which I don't think was as effective.  I was pretty irritable and stayed hungry this day.  I skipped my workout because I definitely wasn't feeling it. 

Day 3 was the easiest.  I guess my body had started to adjust and I really didn't mind it.  We ended up going out to dinner, but I followed the guidelines pretty closely!  I ordered edamame, I love that stuff, some shrimp and a side salad.  And no wine for me at dinner, I was good and had lots and lots of water.  I did a very small/light workout at the house this day too.  Not much at all, but something is better than nothing right?

Overall, I lost 4 pounds, my face is clearing up and I feel great as a result from the cleanse.  This is something I will definitely do again in the future, not for a couple of months though.  Now I just need to stay motivated by eating better and having my Shakeology for one meal a day.  Oh, and working out better :)

Hope you all are having a fabulous week!

Shakeology

I have recently become a lover of Shakeology.  

Don't know what that is?  Click here or here to find out more. The lovely Beth, a Beach Body coach, is doing a Shakeology Challenge starting tomorrow and I am joining her and her lovely team.  We are doing the three day Shakeology "cleanse" (I say it in quotes, because it's not your typical cleanse you might be thinking of) and I am really excited.  I've been struggling with my weight for about 2 years and I'm to the point where I am just plain unhappy with myself.  I thought summer and bathing suits would be enough motivation for me to get my act together, but it took getting engaged and not wanting anything that I can prevent to ruin my wedding day to really get me going.  So I'm doing the three day cleanse and hoping it will be a good jump start to get me going!  John knew how excited I am about this and about how much it means to me to get healthy, so he surprised me with a mini single serving blender I can take to work with me.  He is so supportive, I don't know what I would do without him.  So wish me luck!  I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes!
