Okay ladies! I have been really focusing on my diet and exercise the last two years and have incredible results but call me crazy the last three months I have been struggling. I was getting my cravings again, I was really bloated with lower abdominal cramps and my energy was so blah! As much as I don’t want to admit I even was having issues with yeast infections and constipation. What changed? We were stressed so we started eating inconsistently, more bread and pasta items and going out to restaurants. I was binge eating sugars… I found myself snacking late at night. This vic
ious cycle was taking me down and I was drowning again.
After reading Wheat Belly and watching a few videos about the effects of sugar and wheat I had to do something about it! What did I do, I researched cleanses or a detox that were effective, natural and safe. I found there were a lot programs with special pills and totally eliminating eating but this just wasn’t natural or what I was looking for. I wanted something that would change how I eat and eliminate the toxins safely. I wanted something sustainable and doable!! I am a busy mama and I don’t have time or patience to figure out complicated programs. I didn’t want to stop eating, that’s just crazy and honestly not what I want my girls to see me doing!
I came across the 3 Day Refresh and knew this was the route I needed to take! It is only 3 days, it trains you to eat the right meals without starving yourself. It uses natural veggies and fruits for fiber to move things along. The meal plan and guidelines were so easy to follow. I got to eat lunch and dinner with my girls and didn’t have to buy outlandish groceries! Plus, I liked that it incorporated Shakeology because I had been wanting to try it and didn’t know how to incorporate that into my daily diet either. I had seen so many great results that I just had to give it a shot! Plus if I wasn’t happy they were going to give me a 30 day money back guarantee…sweet! That sold my husband on it! Woot woot!
So I did it! For my 33rd birthday I bought it for myself! Woo hoo!
This is what the 3 day schedule looks like:
Morning:
- Breakfast: Shakeology + fruit option
- Tea break: Unsweetened green tea or herbal tea
- Late AM: Fiber Sweep Digestive drink (8 oz of COLD water)
Afternoon:
- Lunch: Vanilla Fresh shake + fruit option + veggie option + healthy fat option
- Snack: 1 Veggie option +1 healthy fat option or 1 raw juice
- Tea Break: Unsweetened green tea or herbal tea
Evening:
- Dinner: Vanilla Fresh Shake +1 option from Dinner Recipe
- Tea Break: Unsweetened green tea or herbal tea
The Fiber sweep was maybe the toughest part of the program, but once I figured out that I needed to make only 8 oz and make it cold water, drink it quickly….it wasn’t so bad after all! The other part I had to get used to was the timing. You needed to follow a 2 ish hour timeline before snacks, the Shakeology or vanilla fresh. By the end of the second day I had the rhythm down and discovered part of my problem was that I was eating….all the time, no breaks in between! Eek! Prepping the meals and snacks ahead of time made huge difference! I also did my workouts and I probably should have kept it to a minimum those days but I do have to say that I didn’t feel dizzy and just upped the protein during dinner time a little bit!
Over all I lost 3.5 inches around my waist (forgot to measure my legs and arms…oops) and I dropped 3 pounds. Considering I have been at 110 lbs the last 6 months and am now at 107 lbs that is a pretty big deal! Here is a snap shot of the schedule of what to expect!
So there are two ways you can try the 3 Day Refresh! You can try it with just the three days of Shakeology (Your breakfast during the three days) which nice so you can sample the Shakeology and then when you are done you can order a full 30 day supply afterwards and you are not committing to the full cost right away. The other option is to order it in challenge pack form where you get a discount on the 3 Day Refresh when you buy it with Shakeology! You end up saving close to $50 so that is the route that I took. I knew I was going to continue with Shakeology and I didn’t want to spend more than I needed to! Plus with the challenge pack I liked that it included 30 days free with the online streaming so I could try out all the different workouts that Beachbody offers and access to the meal planner and fitness tracker!

I know they have an Ultimate Reset to really cleanse your body of the toxins and literally reset your body, I am not quite ready for that because we are so busy right now but it is definitely on my list to do this year! I found the to be helpful that talks more about what it is!
