Summary of the Cleanse

Wow. That's the best I have to say...just wow...The cleanse has felt great and yielded great results. Here's the wrap up.

I lost 3 lbs in Day 1! I did still workout that morning but have never been so excited for a dinner salad in my life. I found near the sandwich meats grilled chicken chunks and those helped me prepare a good, fast, yummy salad (for the rules of the cleanse, check my earlier posts). Unlike most other cleanses I've done, I didn't feel jittery, shakey, sick to my stomach like usual. Instead, my digestive system felt better as a whole. I slept better. I knew I was doing something good for my body and I could feel it. Although it wasn't mainly about the number on the scale, it was great to see that 155 drop to 152 and feel so good doing it!

Day 2 was a little tougher. I didn't workout because I could already feel my energy levels so low. I tried doing the salad for lunch which helped but I was very very hungry when I got home. I cheated and did another small salad Tuesday night but kept it clean. Apparently it all worked because in addition to feeling good Wednesday morning, 152 dropped to a weight I don't remember seeing since high school: 150!!!

Day 3 was alright. By now I knew what to expect. I had my fruit, had some tea, felt better all day but was glad it was going to be done. Just had to stay strong. I followed the same format as Day 2...2 salads during the day. The scale didn't move this morning but I can honestly say I feel better, feel leaner, slept better - which was important because I haven't been sleeping well lately! - and am very very glad I did it and stuck with it.

I'm going to do this again in August. Haven't picked the days yet but I'll keep you posted. For now I'm going to focus on finishing the first half of the Turbo Challenge strong and reporting awesome results for Turbo Jam. I ordered my TurboFire last night and hope to have it in time to start my TurboFire challenge on July 1st. (see post "Coming soon to a blog near you" for challenge details) If you're interested in doing the Shakeology Cleanse with me in August (or the Turbo Challenge for that matter!) email me, tweet me, send me a Spark mail, go to the bottom of my blogspot blog and leave a voicemail, ... let me know you're interested. I can send you a couple Shakeology samples so you can try it out before you order your supply to do the challenge with me. Let me know! I'm more than happy to help!
