I started the cleanse after the Holiday's since I indulged more than I would like to admit. My kids were sick, didn't sleep well, and wanted my undivided attention, so I did not exercise. Next time I may try some light to moderate exercise to see how it goes. Here is how my 3 days went:
Day 1 - I didn't feel hungry until about 4:30pm, but Dinner is at 6:00pm, so it was a long hour and a half. I looked forward to the salad! All in all it wasn't that bad.
Day 2 - The second day was the easiest for me. I didn't feel hungry until about 5:00pm, but it really wasn't that bad. I did feel a little light-headed at times, but it was managable. Again, I looked forward to the salad. :)
Day 3 - By far the hardest day for me! Maybe it was because my kids were sick and it was getting to me or maybe I was just hungry (or both), but I was pretty grouchy! I was hungry almost all day and it was really hard to not grab something (especially because my son wanted to eat all day). I didn't feel starved though and figured I can do anything for just 3 days. :)
End of Cleanse - I lost about 9 pounds after the cleanse, two of which I gained during the Holidays.... (oops). It feels like a reset button has been pressed and am excited to start back into my exercise routine (now for my kids to cooperate haha). This is the first time I have done a cleanse, so I was a little concerned at first. However, I feel great and plan to do it again in the future.
**Below are the instructions for the 3-Day Cleanse. If you try it, I would love for you to comment on it! If you want to try, but don't have Shakeology, contact me and I can sell you 9 packets for $50 (which includes the shipping). However, I advise to use Shakeology daily after the cleanse, so you may just want to purchase your bag instead. Remember, there is a bottom of the bag guarantee! Order on auto-ship to get free shipping and if after the 30 days you are not satisfied, send it back for a refund!! ORDER HERE
