Cleanse - Day 3 - The Final Day

Hey NeverEver's!

Happy Wednesday. I hope you all had a great day! Especially since it is Hump Day and that much closer to the weekend!

For me this day felt kind of blah. I felt like I wasn't able to accomplish anything. Even though I did...I felt that it was more repeating the same stuff over again. Things that I went through before, or things that I thought I handled and yet them came back again.

It was just one of those days. I also think this had to do with the cleanse as well. Since for the 3rd day in a row I am eating and drinking the same thing it made it all the more blah. I guess doing the same thing over and over again isn't for me.

But on to the cleanse...The Final Day!

Day 3 is basically the same thing as the other days.

• Lots of liquids
• Lots of Shakeology
• Salad
• And More Liquids

The same as Day 1 and Day 2.

What I want to concentrate on is how I feel and what I learned from this cleanse.

Especially since it just hit me that I didn't weigh in before the start of this -_-. However that has been taken care of for future.

So how did I feel?

• I didn't feel hungry
• I didn't feel deprived
• I had energy - mostly but my one slump I am putting more on work
• I was able to workout
• The bathroom was used a LOT more then before but that is to be expected
• I felt good about myself

So what did I learn? 

• I can eat fewer calories
• Eating a more fulling lunch will keep me satisfied longer and not be as hungry for dinner
• I can drink lots of water
• Watching what I am eating doesn't mean I will starve
• I miss my shakeology with almond milk
• I can do it

Would I recommend this cleanse to anyone? Yes. I would however recommend that you do it during a 3 day weekend so you don't have to deal with work and everything that can bring.

Am I satisfied with the results of this cleanse? Yes. I do feel that my pants are looser and even though I didn't weigh myself I do feel lighter. 

Would I do this cleanse again? Yes. But not for a while. The official page recommends it every 3 months. 

Now what am I going to do about myself not getting weighed? I know there are people that hate weighing. Feel that it is horrible and I get that. And if I become a person that has to weigh themselves everyday...I am going to get rid of it. BUT, I need to know where I stand. Soooo

I got myself a scale. Its from Target and was only $29.00. Not bad for something that can have up to 4 users on it. Now I have no excuse not to do the Weekly Weigh In ^_^. 

Okay NeverEver's, I am leaving you all with this. I got to get my outfits ready for EDC. I finished my first one before writing this...which is why this is so late lol.

Its a corset with a tutu and I am going to have leggings underneath. Working on Outfit 2 and Outfit 3 right now! See you all tomorrow for some Motivational Thursday!! 

Cleanse - Day 2

Hey NeverEver's!!

Its Tuesday. One day closer to the weekend that just can't come fast enough for me. I just can't wait for Vegas and EDC this weekend.

But, what I mainly came here to write about is about my cleanse...the Day 2 of my Cleanse to be exact.

Day 2 started off strong. Well after I got to work is was really strong. Before...well the snooze button really should have never been created.

This time I wasn't that busy so I had my green tea and my cold shakeology ready to go at the same time. Finished the Green Tea first. Just some advise...don't forget to take out the tea bag. I forgot and man did that tea get strong.

But then it got busy. Super busy. And then I got hungry...and it was only 10ish. So since my lunch was supposed to be at 11:30 I decided to just wait, after having some grapes, for my lunch time. Well I ended up not going to lunch until a little after 12. So needless to say I was hungry and I decided to have the salad for lunch.

There is a little store by work that serves all different kinds of salad. This one was to be the 'Asian Chicken Salad', and it is delicious. But this time I got it without the dressing and ate it as is. Still not bad. But with dressing it is better...not gonna lie.

Also, I didn't do my lunch run. I was feeling super sore from last nights Hip Hop Ab's Total Body Workout but I would have done it...if a treadmill was open. Another reason why I don't like going to lunch late. No treadmill. GRRR

Getting back into work after lunch it was just as busy as when I left it. Good thing - the day goes by faster...Bad thing - you can't really get up to get water...or anything.

Once I got home I was feeling tired. However, I wasn't sure if that was just from my day at work, the cleanse at work, or just being physically tired from the workouts. And the suckie part of it...I still don't have an answer as to why I was tired.

However, the Hubby is who got me up and moving at the end of the day. By myself I probably would have just stayed in bed reading. But he said 'No'. So I compromised with him. No Hip Hop Ab's but he can join me for my nightly walk.

Well that walk turned into him power walking and my jogging beside him. Yes my legs are that bloody short that I have to jog to keep up -_-.

So it was a good workout. I got a good sweat on and I moved those muscles that I needed to move. Thank you Hubby for getting me up and out there.

All in All it was a pretty good day. I had a moment of temptation when I went to pick up the salad (there was a poppyseed muffin) but I was able to power through that. I don't feel deprived so far. All though all this liquids sure have made the bathroom my friend.

Okay NeverEver's! It is time for me to get my shower and bed on. Need to rest up for tomorrows Shaun T's workout 0_o.

Cleanse - Day 1

Hey NeverEver's!!

Happy Monday! I hope you have all had a great one. Right now I just finished my dinner (enchilada salad) and am dying in the heat while waiting for the sun to go down.

But what you guys wanna hear is about Day 1 of the cleanse. How did I do? How did it feel? Was it satisfying? Did I get hungry? Hell was I starving?

Started the Morning off really late. Why? Because I was busy at work. But I got my green tea done first...then had my shakeology. 

The green tea actually filled me up pretty well even before the Shakeology. So by the end of the drink it lasted me until a little after lunch. 

Lunch was my normal Lunch Run (hey I said normal). Jogged most of that mile and felt amazing. Wasn't feeling light headed or anything. The only thing was my calf...but that had nothing to do with the cleanse.

After lunch I wasn't that hungry but because I am already on a 'cleanse' I am being extra careful to listen to my body. So about an hour after my scheduled 'lunch time' I got my shakeology on again. This time I forgot my green tea...oops. Won't forget that tomorrow.

However, by the time the end of the day came by...I was hungry. I did have my orange as a side but it only took the edge off. Came home and I found that my Mother in law was making enchilada (the chip version not the restaurant one). So I decided to make that into a salad. It was spicy so I was thinking it would help me out so I wouldn't eat that much...I am not into spicy food. But, I did end up eating a little to much.

So the day went well. I stopped myself from going to the vending machine. Taking a Free Cookie, and begging for bites of my friends lunch.
But once I got hungry...all bets were off the table. Yes I had a salad. Yes I didn't have any dressing (not counting the salsa that was mixed in, she makes it from scratch with water and just the hot stuff). However I did over eat.

I learned from this that I have to eat something before work ends. That seems to be the point that I get hungry.

Okay NeverEver's, the sun is almost down and it will be soon time to hit up the Hip Hop Ab's with the Hubby! I am thinking about doing double to make up for that dinner. Let you all know!!

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Hey NeverEver's!

First off Happy Father's Day!! I hope you have all had an amazing one. I spent last weekend with my Father for his Father's Day and this weekend with my Father in Law. Since he is such a meat eater we took him to Tony Roma's and currently going to be heading to the beach for the last of Father's Day.

Since I will be heading to the beach soon I wanted to make this post real quick.

Starting tomorrow I am going to be going on the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse.

Why?

Well lately even though I have been eating better then ever, home cooked meals a priority. Lots of Fruits and Veggies. I have been feeling that my body has been rebelling against me. Making my stomach upset, low energy, and just general queasy-ness...And NO I am not pregnant so that can be written off ^_^.

So I needed away to re-set my body. Just to get it back the way it should be.

If I had 3 days off instead I would be juicing. However, I cannot take my juicer to work so that really wouldn't work. So I looked for another way that I could get my cleanse on.

I didn't want anything crazy and it lead me to the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse. I am already drinking Shakeology every morning so it made sense. Here is the general idea of the plan.

I am not doing the cleanse to lose weight. Nor am I doing it because I think that 800 - 1,100 calories in the long run is health. I AM doing this because my body isn't right. I need to clean it out. This cleanse will not last more then 3 days and I will not be doing it again back to back.

I just felt that I should set that straight right off the bat ^_^.

So NeverEver's, have you guys ever done a cleanse? If so, why did you do it and how did it work?

Have a great rest of Father's Day!!
