3 Day Refresh Results Are In!

3 Day Refresh Here I Come!

So as I said in my last post I went out of town last weekend for a wedding and while I tried my best to stay somewhat on track, obviously there were some more snacking and drinking than I usually partake in! I felt pretty blah and bloated when I got home, so to kick my booty back into gear I decided to do the 3 Day Refresh on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 

What is the Refresh exactly? It's essentially a cleanse. But what is nice about this product is, unlike things like juice cleanses, you are still getting all the nutrition your body needs. So its a much healthier alternative!

What does a day in the cleanse look like? You drink your Shakeology in the morning with a serving of the fruit that it lists in the book for breakfast. For you mid morning snack you drink your fiber drink with water. Lunch is the Vanilla Fresh shake with a serving of fruit, veggies, and a healthy fat. You get another snack in the afternoon of a veggie and healthy fat. Dinner is another Vanilla Fresh shake with a dinner recipe that you choose from the book. You can drink green tea, but you are supposed to drink A BUNCH of water throughout the day to help with the fiber! You are cutting out all processed foods, canned fruits veggies, and dairy.

Yummy Fruits and Veggies

Homemade Guac

Yum!

  

Fiber Drink

Mid Afternoon Snack

The most popular question I get about this product is am I going to LIVE in the bathroom the whole time? The answer is absolutely not! The only think you could possibly experience is feeling a little fuller or gas in your tummy from all the extra fiber, just make sure to drink a ton of water and it shouldn't be a problem! It's only for 3 days!

So what were my results? See for yourself! 

Pretty Happy!

3 lbs Gone In 3 Days!

I'm pretty happy with those! Best part, I feel like I'm completely on track again! I didn't even really miss the food I wasn't eating I was actually very surprised! So today I'll just continue with my clean eating menu! Even better than that, you can totally still workout on the Refresh, I did TurboFire which is a ton of cardio and I felt completely fine!

You can do the Refresh once a month or any time you need to get back on track or have a event to go to, OR to get into that small little Halloween costume you have picked out!! Its a fast way to cleanse out your body and drop a few pounds the healthy way!

How to Vacation Without Guilt

Fall Weather Outfit

So as you all know, or maybe you don't, I just got back from a spending a long weekend in Minnesota (hello Fall and chilly weather!) to celebrate one of my favorite friends getting married! As we all know, vacations usually mean KILLING any sense of clean eating and exercise! So I'm going to give y'all a little run down of how I did my best to stay on track!

Breakfast on the Plane!

Please keep in mind that I was definitely on vacation so I indulged a little here and there (mmm just a little beer and hibachi), but I also did a lot better job keeping on track than I ever have on vacation before! So exhibit A: Shakeology packets. These things literally saved my life! Our flight out was at 7:30 am and being the true procrastinator that I am I was up until about 2am or 3am packing and finishing up some homework so the idea of getting up to make breakfast before we left was not even about to happen. So to keep me from engulfing a bagel or McMuffin from the McDonalds across the terminal I just got a water bottle and whipped out my trusty chocolate Shakeo and it did the trick! 

When we got there after some car trouble took place I called up my best friend who lives up there and begged her to let me go to the gym with her! Alright, she actually called and invited me along but I was super pumped to go! So I headed over to the LifeTime Fitness she is a member of and got a guest pass. The good news about this is that you don't have to have a member to get a guest pass! You can just go up there and let them know you are in town for a few days and you are interested in joining the one in your area. They will most likely let you check out their facility for a couple of days! So I got a nice two mile run in (WOWZERS!) and some ab work done!

Vacation Workout

Next was the wedding, not going to lie, I had some slip ups with a few beers and some of the delicious food that was being served! BUT most of my drinks I stuck to vodka tonics with a bit of lime juice in there! It's a nice drink without all the crazy sugar and calories that most have! Here is a lovely picture of me and my pretty darn cute date! 

So the next day I decided it was a good idea to burn off some of those crazy wedding calories and since it was so BEAUTIFUL up in Minnesota this time of the year we went on a walk/jog around one of the lakes right by the house we were staying at: 

Wedding Date

Post Wedding Burn

Then of course when we got back I refueled with some of my yummy chocolaty Shakeo drink! It was also SUPER handy to have at the restaurant we went to the next day so I didn't have to feel the guilt of eating the chicken wings laying around later!

After Workout Shakeo

Dining Out Shakeo

Another great tip I could give you is go grocery shopping! If you are staying in a hotel, most have mini fridges you can store some fruits and veggies in there for quick on the go options! We were lucky enough to be staying at Adam's aunt's house and she had some yummy healthy snacks to choose from!!

Healthy Vacation Treat

Of course, if you are anything like me, you need your coffee!!! I would recommend stashing away some Stevia packets in your purse for emergencies! Most coffee places will have sweet and low and that's about it! So keeping these on hand will fantastic when you grabbing your coffee and don't want to load up on the artificial stuff!

Coffee Addict

All in all, it's really NOT that hard to make some healthier choices along the way! Will you have some indulgences along the way? Of course! That's what makes it fun!! But you also don't have to completely wreck all you hard work along the way! Vacation isn't about losing weight, its about maintaining the work you've already done!! Happy vacationing guys!
