I really enjoyed the Shakeology 3 day refresh! I didn’t miss coffee for the 3 days, I drank herbal tea as recommended instead. Since I was drinking 4 shakes a day I REALLY got excited about the small servicing of fruits/veggies/fats I could eat. I feel like I really enjoyed the food.

The downsides were peeing all the time, including many times throughout the night. Also I didn’t realize how tempting it was to grab a pretzel if T had a bag out or a food sample in the grocery store.

I also hosted a going away party for my colleague and I picked up a huge sheet cake and a nice fruit tray, but I just drank water. I was okay with not eating the cake, but I was cutting it and not licking frosting off my fingers. Truth be told I brought. Piece home for T and a piece I had this morning.

I definitely plan to keep up the recommended fruit and veggie/fat (ex. Carrots and almond butter) servings and really want to get better about pounding water. Gotta keep up this momentum!

News I already know

Working out and eating well for a few days in a row MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER. Also it makes you want to continue to work out and eat well. 

Taking small steps in the right direction can easily turn into bigger steps. I was quickly able to turn unnecessary sweets and alcohol – they won’t make me feel better and I rather keep up my momentum. 

I’ll keep my alcohol indulgences to the weekends and the sweets for only when I really will savor it.
