How to Lose the Few Pounds You Put on During Thanksgiving

So if you followed my journey the past week, you've seen how I put in hard work for 3 days and I got pretty awesome results with the 3 Day Refresh!

I want to pay if forward and help out other ladies who are just like me!

Do you:

*Want to eat your your entire thanksgiving meal and dessert
*Want to lose a few pounds
*Want to feel refreshed
*Want to fell less bloated


... If you answered yes to any of these questions then keep reading!!!


Starting December 3rd I am hosting a 3 Day Refresh group! The group will consist of a plant based diet to cleanse your system of all the toxins that we consumed over Thankgiving.
I want you ladies to be able to enjoy your thanksgiving meal without feeling guilty, without counting calories and whatever else you may do!

Many people have already asked me "So you did some crazy juice cleanse for 3 days?"

NOOOO! NOT at all, I ate fruits and veggies and there were a couple shakes mixed in there. But the most important thing... I never starved!!! I fed my body things it needed and craved! 

So, if you want to indulge over Thanksgiving and then get right back on track before Christmas comes lets chat and lets get your ready for the best Holiday season you've ever experienced!

3 Day Refresh Review Day 2

I have made it through DAY 2!! I am over half way through!!

I kinda cant believe that I have made it this far. For those of you who dont know me really well... well  I eat pizza at least 2-3 times a week and a have to have something small everyday that is sweet. I am not saying that these habits work for everyone, but they work for me. Not really sure why but they do.
Well those pizza nights that I was having turned into a cheat meals every single day, multiple times a day. And that is ULTIMATELY why I decided I needed a refresh! I need to get back on track before the holidays got here and I OVER DID IT!!

So anyways...as promised, I said I would be reviewing the program a little more than I did yesterday. Yesterday was just an overview so that you guys knew what I was eating and experiencing!

So here is my review:

Today has been harder than yesterday. Today around 10:00am I got a head ache. Not sure why, but around 2:00pm it was gone.
And today I was hungrier than yesterday, which I also am not sure why because I ate all the same things today as I did yesterday! WEIRDDD!


People may be wondering what the drinks taste like and what their consistency is:

Fiber Sweep: Tastes like orange.
                       I added more water to this drink because it is a little gritty
                       Fills you up but is lite.
                       You need to drink it within 10 minutes. I slowly drank it today and it got a little                                     thick. If I waited any longer I probably wouldnt be able to drink it because it was quite                        thick.
                       I love the taste!!

Vanilla Fresh: Tastes alot like Vanilla Shakeology. I dont know how to explain it, because I cant                                 relate it to anything else.
                        You should definitely blend it in a mixer instead of just shaking it!

                        The vanilla fresh is heavier than the fiber sweep. The vanilla fresh really fills you up.
                        This one I dont love the taste of.
** I talked to coaches yesterday and they were telling me how much they enjoyed the Vanilla Fresh! I started to get nervous because I didnt know what I was doing wrong and why I didnt really like the Vanilla Fresh. Tonight I mixed in cinnamon and pure vanilla extract and HOLY CRAP it made a huge difference. I still dont LOVE it, but I can definitely drink it easier now!!

I dont feel lighter yet but I am a lot more focused. In college, I would wake up in the morning and I would make a list of everything I needed to get done for the day and then I would take everything on my list and write a time next to it. It helped me with time management and helped to make sure I got everything done. Lately I have been so dysfunctional and unorganized. I havent made a list in MONTHS. This morning I woke up and made my list. I didnt even realize I was making it until I was half way through!! Talk about amazing!

My moms review:

**I wish I had a complete review from her, but she is working... so she gave me her review via a text message!

My mom told me that she wasn't hungry at all yesterday or today!! Lucky duck! She told me she was a little tired today and yesterday but nothing unbearable. And the BEST PART, she said she is starting to feel lighter!!! AGAIN, LUCKY DUCK!!!


Tomorrow, I would love to answer any questions you may have. I feel that you can get your questions answered and find out questions that other people might have. It will be anonymous.

Message me your questions by 5:00pm and they will be answered on tomorrows blog!

         

Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh

When I decide to do something new, it always scares me and makes me nervous, like FREAK OUT PANIC ATTACK NERVOUS. I dont LOVE change... But, I try to always remind myself that I cant GROW if I dont try new things. 

So with that being said... I have let myself go. I have been eating whatever I want and not focusing on my eating. Which is HORRIBLE.
I'm bloated.
I lack energy.
And I am NOT FOCUSED.

My mom and I partner up for everything, we are each others back bone. When I am struggling, I go to her for help and support and when she is struggling, she will come to me for help and support.
So we decided that we are going to be doing the 3 Day Refresh together!!!! Starting... TOMORROW!!!

Today, I prepped for us!

I read through my handy booklet to find out what we should be eating and drinking for the next 3 days, and if we should be doing any physical activity.

Over the next 3 days, we will be eating alot of natural foods, drinking PLENTY of water and doing light exercises.
The kit that you get from Beachbody comes with 3 packets of "Fiber Sweep" and 6 packets of "Vanilla Fresh".

The Fiber Sweep drink eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.
The Vanilla Fresh drink, is high in protein and helps satisfy your hunger. Its gives you proper nutrition for a healthy weight loss and also has fiber in it. *Dairy and soy free*

After reading the booklet I started to prep, probably the biggest component when eating healthy!! You have to meal prep or you will NOT succeed.

I had a hard time trying to figure out how much I would need for veggies because it was calculated with measuring cups and without having the food already in front of you, it is hard to know exactly how much you need. So I made sure that I had enough food for the first day to see how much I would need for the next days!

Check back tomorrow to see if my mom and I made it through our first day!!!

XOXO,

Kate
