SHAKOLOGY!!!
Let's be honest... My first sip of Shakeology was just "meuh"... BUT
BAM! On the second day, and trying my AWESOME Coach's recommended recipe
(add ice, 1 banana & 1 tbsp PB), I AM HOOKED, and I absolutely love
the taste. Well, so far so good. I can do this...
The third day into drinking my Shakeology I felt great and was doing
more reading around the web. I came across the Shakeology 3 Day
Cleanse...
Me?! Do a cleanse? You are out of your tree! No way, I love food, I
love to eat, hate feeling hungry and zombified, no FREAKING thank you!
...Well--- Let me think about this again... I get to drink my Shakeology
which I love, all day... And I will feel satisfied, AND I get a salad,
and snacks, and tea?! OK, it's dose not sound half bad. LET'S DO IT!
The morning day, I started. It really was super easy, no hunger, no issues. I FELT AMAZING!
The second day (which I read was the hardest for a lot of people) was still a breeze! AND--- I was down 3 lbs BTW! ;) eep!
The third day was just as good, still felt great, totally kicked my
caffeine coffee addiction WITH NO HEADACHES or side effects, and I lost
another 2.5 lbs! And all I did was sit back (well I ran on day two, and
started INSANITY on day three ***yes I had lots of energy!), and enjoyed
my CHOCOLATE peanut butter burst of a kid in a candy store heaven
called, SHAKEOLOGY!!!
Lost a total of 5 lbs. Gave my body a kick start, and the weight loss
was a huge motivator for me, going into my first INSANITY workout week.
I absolutely recommend doing the 3 day cleanse, and I will absolutely
be doing it again in the future, when I need an little extra push!
Woohoo! :D
HAPPY GIRL! Great experience!
