Overview of the Shakeology Cleanse...

First off, HAPPY FRIDAY!  :)  So I am finished with the Shakeology cleanse and I have to say that I ended it a little early!  Last evening I was just absolutely starving, this did not happen to me the entire first 2.5 days of the cleanse though, I was never hungry!  So I decided to eat dinner and I don't regret it.  My body needed it, I am wondering if it's because I added the salt water flush, plus with the workouts, I just needed to eat.  Overall though, the Shakeology cleanse is great!  Next time I will not do the flush and maybe not workout so hard, then I could probably make it the entire 3 days instead of 2.75. 

Results:  Starting weight 141.8  Ending weight 139 

Loss of 2.8 pounds!!!  PLUS I lost another half inch off my HIPS and WAIST!!!!! 

Shakeology Cleanse Day 3!!!

Wow, it's here, the last day of the Shakeology cleanse!  I am still feeling good!  Yesterday was pretty good, the roughest part of the day is towards dinner from 4-6 ish, and it's really all in my head.  There was NO time that I was starving, it was just a mental thing of not really eating (but my body was getting all the fabulous nutrients from 3 Shakeology drinks a day!).  I still had the salad though because I felt awesome and did Fire 45, which I know I burnt a lot of calories!  This morning I did the salt water flush again, but it's the last day.  Felt great when I woke up, not hungry or anything, it's awesome!  Drinking my coffee and lots of water this morning and will be drinking my first shakeology in a bit.  Then off to workout!!  I've only done one other cleanse (the 2 day Beachbody cleanse) and I have to say that was WAY harder than this 3 day one! 

Weight update yesterday 138.4...today 138.4.  Same, but heck, I lost 3.4 pounds since starting the cleanse 2 days ago, I'll take it!!

Shakeology Cleanse Day 2

Okay so first off, update on the finish of Day 1.  I was extremely surprised by how easy it was to get through it!  Well I did go into it with a super positive attitude because I knew Shakeology was extremely healthy for me and drinking it 3 times a day for 3 days was certainly not depriving myself of nutrients!  I had my water with me at ALL times and I did get hungry around lunch and dinner, but drank my shake and felt much better afterwards!  I had a little moment around 5-5:30 where I was thinking about food, but it passed!  Then you are supposed to have a salad with some protein in it.  I was debating whether or not to do this, but decided I should have something small since I did workout for over an hour earlier.  I had 1/2 cup of garbanzo beans (protein) and 1 cup of cucumbers cut up with 1 tbsp extra light virgin olive oil and some spices without salt.  It was just enough!  Plus I did drink my 2 cups of green tea throughout the day!  Right before bed I drank my Senna tea (I decided to add the salt water flush to my cleanse for a couple days).  Slept great, went to bed early though!  This morning I woke up feeling fabulous, no grumbling tummy! So I did the salt water flush and WOW, I'm not sharing the TMI but holy shit, lol.  I am now drinking some coffee, black of course, for my morning boost, and I'm going to have my shakeology for breakfast!  I even have energy to workout! 

Weight update....Yesterday morning 141.8.....This morning....138.4.....WOW!!!!!!

Shakeology Cleanse Day 1

Good morning!  So I am doing the 3 day Shakeology cleanse and right now I have to say, I am kind of excited about it!  Mainly because I know how good and filling Shakeology is, so I'm not really worried about drinking it 3 times a day.  I plan on just doing 3 shakes a day with tons of water, I'm not sure about the salad yet or not, depends on how I feel.  But for now I have my huge water bottle, got it at Victoria's Secret actually (it was $12.50, but it's MASSIVE, lol) filled and I'm going to keep it by my side all day!  I am drinking a little coffee this mornig for my boost, but I drink it black so no added calories or sugar.  Will be drinking my breakfast in a little bit and then plan to workout right after while I still have all the energy!  I'm excited, I'll keep you posted on that, lol 

How to Do the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse: Directions

1. Drink 3 Shakeology shakes a day (mix with water only)
2. Have a salad in the evening for dinner with 4 ounces of protein, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and vinegar dressing, and 1 tablespoon of flax seed, chia seeds, or hemp seed
3. Drink plenty of water. Coffee, tea, and herbal teas are okay, as long as no sugar or cream is added.

Shakeology testimonials...

I LOVE reading more and more testimonials from people, here are just a few...

Cathy P
"Shakeology, you helped me trash a ton of medications! Most importantly, I got my life back and feel great! THANK YOU!"

Kristin H., Digestive Health, Weight Loss  37 years old, Lincoln, Nebraska

Shakeology gave me the digestive health to be able to go off my colitis medications. Plus I lost about 7 pounds within the first couple of months where I hadn't been able to lose a pound in my previous 70 days of working out! My digestive health is back on track. I am off my medication and don't have a future appointment scheduled with my GI doctor because I'm doing great! I feel more energized, confident, and healthy. Shakeology made the most noticeable impact on my inside.

Joyce B., Weight Loss, Cravings, Energy  50 years old, Vestal, New York

Since beginning Shakeology in April 2009, I have lost 53 pounds. In October 2009, I was taken off my high blood pressure medication after 2 years! My doctor has told me to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. People tell me I look thin, awesome, beautiful, and do not look my age. I feel fantastic and much younger. I personally think I look better than I ever have in my life! I can look in the mirror and be proud of my appearance now. My skin and hair are healthy looking. I have more energy, and if I happen to miss taking Shakeology, I feel a difference in my energy level, as it's not as strong.
I believe Shakeology has made a positive healing impact on my digestive system and endocrine system. It has fueled my body with the nutrients it needs so I don't get cravings for wrong junk foods anymore. I can drive by fast food restaurants and even other restaurants and have no desire for them anymore. That has been awesome! Before, it was like those places would "call me" as I tried to drive past them. I never get headaches anymore, do not crave sugar and I'm not snacking at night anymore, either. Another major bonus is that I do not have hot flashes anymore—while in peri-menopause!

James H., Weight Loss  61 years old, Las Vegas, Nevada

I was out of shape, overweight, and bordering on high blood pressure. I felt sluggish, had difficulty walking up a flight of stairs at work, and was starting to get arthritis in my knees.
I weighed 265 pounds when I started using Shakeology as a daily noon meal replacement. I began doing the Shakeology 30 workout video every day too. I set a goal to get down to 225 pounds by my birthday on 7/26/2010. To my amazement, after 45 days on the program, I've lost 30 pounds and have gone from a 44 waist paints with a large belly hanging over to a 38 waist. And I can look straight down and see my toes, which I haven't been able to do for at least 20 years.

Balance Blood Sugar
Dean L., WI

I'm a diabetic who was injecting insulin twice a day. I started drinking Shakeology, and now my tests show my blood sugar levels are normal.

Reduce Cravings
David G., OK

The amazing thing about Shakeology is that my food cravings are gone. I don't crave fast food, chips, candy bars, or anything like that anymore.

Reduce Cravings
Melanie B., IL

When I drink Shakeology, I'm not as hungry throughout the day, and my sugar cravings are almost nonexistent.

Reduce Headaches
Mindy K., MI

I used to have headaches every day. I started drinking Shakeology and RIGHT AWAY felt a change in energy. I haven't had daily headaches since.

Get Healthier Hair, Skin, Nails
Tami F., ME

One of the things I've noticed is my fingernails grow like crazy and my hair is growing like a weed. Love it!

Reduce Headaches
Trisha S., OH

My migraines and headaches are ALL GONE!

Reduce Cravings
Anne A., NE

My severe carb and sugar cravings that used to hit me in the afternoon were gone. I could actually go days and not even think about Dr. Pepper and a bag of chips.

Wow, what a great week!

This week has flown by for me, feels like it was just Monday!  Had some major accomplishments though, I finally got into the 130s on the scale.  It's been 5+ years since I've seen 130 something on my scale!  I'm not a huge fan of the scale, but when you do finally reach that magic number it feels GREAT!  Something even better though was getting out my summer clothes and having to get rid of a lot that is too big and actually fitting in some things I've been "hanging" on to for years now!  I feel like a whole new person!  I've always been a huge exerciser, but since I started using Shakeology in February it has really amped up my weight loss journey!  I don't have the urge to eat sweets anymore and my body actually craves healthier foods!  I'm still in the state of WOW about it, so yes I am going to recommend it to anyone!  TRY IT!  30 day money back guarentee, what really do you have to lose, except pounds?  Happy Saturday, hope everyone has a great weekend! 

No excuses!

So I slept in too late this morning, the sun is not shining, could be an easy day to stay in my PJs and be lazy.  But I marched right upstairs put on my exercise clothes and shoes and I'm ready to go! 

NO EXCUSES, JUST DO IT! 

There is NO WAY I ever ate this much in one day, let alone a week!

It's MONDAY!

So it's a brand new start to your week, to your life!  Don't dread Monday anymore, put that bad week or past behind you and do something for yourself or someone else today.  Put on a SMILE and share it! 

Take measurements!!!

Okay so here's my tip of the day.  Make sure you take measurements when you are trying to lose weight or get fit!  I have learned that the number on the scale does NOT reflect everything.  I was one of those people who was obsessed with getting on the scale every day and it made me feel horrible!  Up and down fluctuating several pounds.  Finally I realized that's not what is important.  So I got out my measuring tape and recorded my numbers!  One thing I did learn is it's easy to forget where you measured exactly, so you should have a plan!  I would never of known that I lost 3 inches of my hips (yep my momma hips) in 2 months if I didn't measure.  The scale didn't budge as much as I thought it would, but that's because muscle weighs more than fat!!!  So I am copying a sheet from my Turbo Fire tracker (no matter what exercise program you do) and I explained where and how I measure so I know I will be measuring that same spot again next time!  I hope this helps, it has made such a difference for me!  Any questions, please feel free to email or contact me!  :)  I would also be happy to email anyone a plain copy of this measurement tracker!

Something to think about...

The more important a call or action is to our souls evolution, the more RESISTANCE we will feel toward pursuing it.
