I do enjoy cold beer on the weekends and I have been cheating once or twice a week but I honestly thought my nutrition has been pretty good so I was only expecting to lose 2-3 pounds tops. My goal of this 3-day shakeology cleanse was to eliminate any toxins I may have in my body which I am assuming I did..or at least hope. I do feel great so I am glad I sucked it up for three days and completed it! I personally did not think this was too tough of a challenge…nor was it easy though, somewhere in between I guess.

I did complete the “shoulders & arms” routine this morning but it wasn’t my best workout. I am looking forward to having an intense workout tomorrow morning seeing that I have been eating carbs throughout the day today.

I really did not think I was going to lose this much weight, my guess is most of it was bloat/water weight. Seeing that this is the last day of the challenge, I can honestly say it’s not too difficult to follow. Surprisingly, I haven’t been that hungry throughout the day and I have plenty of energy. There are times during the day that I wish I could eat but that is expected.  

I did not workout yesterday, I decided to take the day off once I realized I was 5 pounds lighter. Today I completed core synergistics but I was not really into it so I basically just went through the motions with little to no intensity. I find that I have plenty of energy during the day but exercising is a different story. I am glad I completed a BRICK (bike/run) workout the morning of my first day of the performance cleanse, I am not so sure I could bang one out right now.

I will weigh myself again in the morning and let you know my total weight loss of the 3 days.

My weight has dropped 5 whole pounds in 1 day. I am not sure if I should be happy about that or not, I am really just surprised. I went into this Shakeology 3-day Challenge looking to eliminate all toxins from my body. I figured I would lose a pound or two but not 5 in the first day. I weighed in yesterday at 195.5 pounds and this morning I weighed 190.5….I ended up weighing myself three times because I could not believe it. Since day 90 of P90X, my weight has fluctuated between 193 and 197…but has never dropped below 193.

Other than wanting to snack every so often, I have nothing bad to say about this challenge so far. The Shakeology shakes could taste better but when you consider they have over 70 healthy ingredients in them, they don’t taste bad at all. 

I’ll be shocked if I lose anymore weight but I guess it wouldn’t be too far fetch if I did, I will keep you posted…

Day 1 is almost over (going to bed soon) and it actually was not that bad to stick with it….by no means was it easy but it’s very doable. I did feel like every snack I saw was calling my name but I did not think twice about cheating so it wasn’t that bad. They claim day 1 is the hardest but I have a feeling day 2 is going to be tougher so we’ll see…

I decided to take the Shakeology 3-day Cleanse Challenge (next week). Personally, I have always wanted to do some sort of body cleanse but I never took the initiative to start one. Call me naive but I am intrigued on how a cleanse can eliminate toxins from your body…it just sounds like a healthy thing to do. The Shakeology 3-day Cleanse acts like a master cleanse by flushing out toxins and was designed to make your body more efficient. It’s not only a great way to jump-start your fitness program but it can also help you break through your plateau. What makes the Shakeology 3-day Cleanse appealing to me is it’s considered a performance cleanse which means you can exercise while doing it….and it’s only 3 days!

Shakeology 3-day Cleanse works in 3 ways:

- Flushes toxins and junk out of your system

- Brings your hydration levels into homeostasis (most people retain way too much water due to excessive sodium in their diets)

- Helps your body to absorb lots of good, clean nutritients

You will see Results in:

- Feeling cleaner, lighter, healthier, and more energetic

- Reduces bloat (stomach)

- Weight loss
