3 day refresh

Ok, so I had a bit of fun in Vegas ;-)  While I had planned my meals out, by the end of the day I (and most of my teammates!!) were hungry for real food.  During the workouts and training we had our trailmix, shakeology, nutrition bars, but dinner...mmm..dinner we definitely needed the fuel to get us through the parties.  Did I mention the parties at night? HAHAHA


Anyway, one of the big announcements for us as coaches was this new product called the 3 Day Refresh.  I have done my 3 day shakeology cleanses every quarter or so to get back on track nutritionally, so I was really intrigued to try this.  Plus, I figured you guys would want to know if I liked it??!!??

The basic idea is to refresh your insides after some not-so-hot-eating (um, Vegas...??) or if you just need a jump start on your nutrition.  You have one Shakeology (vegan only) and 2 other shake supplements a day (included in the 3 day refresh). Plus you eat fruits, veggies and healthy snacks.

The mid-morning snack is a fiber drink. Tasted good although the texture was a bit off for me.

yummy, despite the green color from the spinach!

The entire three days were pretty easy for me.  I guess I didn't feel that off track but I had gained a bit over my vacation and def had that post-vacay bloat.  I blame the traveling...bwahahahaha.

My fav meal was always breakfast.  You just can't go wrong with chocolate and powered peanut butter in the mornings..

Did I mention you can't have caffeine for 3 days? UGH....

Typical afternoon snack- peppers and guac

RESULTS...

So...here I am 3 days later, exactly down one pound from the first day...and 3 since this post http://www.genuinelygrafton.blogspot.com/2014/06/21df-finals.html

I loved that I wasn't hungry at all.  I could run and get some hard workouts in without feeling drained and 'typical' cleansy.  The new vanilla fresh shakes were good and I found the plan really easy to follow.  I lost weight and an inch of my middle ;0) Winnnnnning!!!

The cons for me were the fiber drink. Messed with my insides a bit..another coach that has some gluten intolerance issues said the same thing.  Maybe there is something in there that bugs my tummy?  I didn't necessarily feel 'refreshed' like I do after a Shakeology cleanse. And since I have that laying around the house I am not sure I will do this again.

There are some amazing before and after pics from other coaches that did the same thing this week (just google search it, haha!) and I'm a bit disappointed I didn't see a 20 pound loss in three days.  Kidding. Kinda..

If you are interested in trying it, leave me a comment or message me on facebook. I'll give you the link ;-)

Happy Saturday!

I still can't believe I see this number on the scale.  LOVE it!!!!!!
