3 Day Refresh Results

It takes a lot of courage to post before and after pictures. Its really quite scary.
You begin your journey in a place of dissatisfaction and you end your journey with confidence and a healthy body that loves you for nourishing it with exercise and nutrition.

Before I started the 3 Day Refresh, I had put on a few extra pounds. I wasn't comfortable in my skin like I was in the past. After I completed T25 I was a whole new person, I felt better, acted better and WAS BETTER, but a week ago, I was none of those things.

Thats all I wanted was another program to give me that same feeling! So as I started my journey I knew that T25 was not easy, it took hard work and time. And if I wanted to see results and BE BETTER I was going to have to put in the same work to accomplish what I set out to do.

So I decided to become disciplined! 3 days- I needed to put hard work in for 3 days, anyone can do anything for 3 days, right?!!!



I was embarrassed of my before photo. WHY!
Because I was at a place in my life where I wasnt comfortable and a place where I didnt want to be.

BUT

I got to thinking, I tell people in my challenge groups all the time not to be embarrassed of their BEFORE photos, because they are called before photos for a reason. You are working towards something bigger and greater then where you currently are. Your after photos are called AFTER because after you have worked hard for something, you will see results.

So with that being said... here are my results!!!

I started at 124 pounds and am currently 120 pounds!



Look at the difference in my inner thighs and upper stomach!

I know it looks like I am pushing out, but I am not, I have horrible posture.



Its amazing what 3 days can do!!

Are you ready to change your habits and lose a couple pounds that are stuck before the holidays?

3 Day Refresh Review Day 3

Today is all about questions!! ANDDDDD
It was my last freaking day!!!! WOOHOO!! **Im doing my happy dance**

I wanted people to ask me questions because I thought over the past couple days I was giving out alot of info, but I realized that people were still asking me questions. I realized I wasnt covering or being clear enough in what I was writing! 

Question 1: Does the 3 Day Refresh affect your daily activities?

I honestly dont think that it hindered my daily activities at all. I meal prepped the night before which took a half hour to cut up all the veggies. But honestly that is the longest amount of time that I have spent on anything with this program. I would wake up in the morning blend my Shakeology. For my snacks and lunch, I would already have my food packed and in zip lock bags ready to go, and the shakes that come with the Refresh, I would bring the packet and a blender bottle. It was super simple and easy! And dinners took me a total of 30 minutes. Everything was quick and simple. 

Question 2: Is it the same meal plan all 3 days?

This question is iffy. Everyday you follow the same plan, so for example, for lunch you drink your Vanilla Fresh, veggies, fruit and a healthy fat, everyday. They dont tell you "you have to eat spinach as your veggie". You get to choose what veggies you want to eat and there are tons of options of what you can have! Me personally, I did eat the same thing everyday, ONLY because, I didnt want to waste any food, I used what we had in the house and it lasted me the full 3 days!

Question 3: Do you workout for the 3 days?

You can workout if you want to. They tell you that some exercise is okay. I personally didnt, I like to know that clean eating will give you results without working out for 3 days. Also I would come home from work and I would be tried, I knew that I needed to give my body a break! When you do a cleanse it kinda takes a toll on your body and wears you down a little!


Question 4: What is the main purpose of the 3 Day Refresh?

The purpose of the 3 Day Refresh is to cleanse your body from toxins that you have put into your body. Your body knows what should and shouldnt be put in it. For example, my body knows that whole foods like this gives me energy and helps me to remain clear and focused, and that is exactly what the Refresh has done.  The Refresh is there to help you lose the few pounds that you have put on in a short time period. And it is also used to help jump start your health and fitness journey, it will give you maximum results if you do the Refresh before you start a program. 

Question 5: Can you eat meat?

You are not allowed to have meat while being on the Refresh, you will get all the protein you need from Shakeology and Vanilla Fresh. The Refresh is a plant based cleanse, which means you cant have any dairy either. If you are like me, you are probably freaking out because you wont be able to have meat, but honestly dont be! The past 3 days, I have actually forgot that I havent put a piece of meat into my mouth. 

I survived the 3 days and I feel so renewed! I cant explain what this program has done for me and how AMAZING I feel!!! Tomorrow I will be giving my final overview and possibly revealing my BEFORE and AFTER pictures!! Check back!!

Phase One Of Body Beast Review

I am completely nervous starting this workout program... I still kind of am. haha

My boyfriend actually bought the workout for himself. I have been intrigued by this workout because another coach, Tarah Carr also did Body Beast and she had INCREDIBLE results!!

So if you know anything about me... I love the idea of change but never really like to go outside of my comfort zone (I'm working on going outside of my comfort zone). So anyways, another coach, Jessica talked to me about how she wanted to do it. I decided what the heck, If Jessica was going to do it, so am I! My biggest concern is that I didnt want to gain BIG masculine muscles, I want nice lean and toned muscles. I dont want to look like a body builder, its just not my style.

Body Beast phase one.
Its 3 weeks long and it is all focuses all on building your muscles! Some workouts were a little harder than what I expected them to be but I made it through. The whole point of Body Beast is to create muscle confusion, when you create muscle confusion you body improves more! The cool thing about this program is that you dont pick up one set of weights and do the move, you start with a small weight doing 15 reps, move up to a heavier weight and do 12 reps, and then move up even heavier weight doing 8 reps. It constantly keeps your muscles guessing.

This is about to get real for a second... I am not going to pretend that I can lift all these heavy weights because guess what? In a couple workouts this past week, I was using 1 pound, yes 1 pound weights.

I havent taken any pictures :( I have only taken my before photo, which I am not ready to share those yet!!!

P.S. Another reason I was discouraged to do Body Beast was because Sagi is kind of intimidating and I heard that was cocky.
But I ABSOLUTELY love him! He cracks me up in every workout.

This picture is going to be me when I finish Body Beast

No I'm just kidding!!! But instead of me becoming a Body Beast, I am going to become a Lady Beast :)

Now go get your Beast on!
