Holday Weight Loss/Gain

I know that this holiday was not perfect for my diet. I got in 90% of my workouts, but I definitely might have had an extra serving or two of food, slacked on my water consumption and increased my wine intake! (<--oops!)  Great news though -- tomorrow marks a new day! AND I get a chance to start again. Little choices add up to BIG changes!!

How was your holidays? Did you snack? Did you over indulge? Did you exercise at all? Do  you know the difference in a set back and failure?

 

Distractions happen to the best of us. We are creatures of habit and function off of routine -- when we sway from that we tend to make less than ideal decisions for our health. What we have to understand is that these set backs are not a failure, they are actually part of success. Since when has changing habits and losing weight been easy? If it were easy then we would not call it a success, it would just happen. So overcoming these set backs is what is pushing your to real success and real changes and real results. IT'S REAL LIFE PEOPLE!!!

 

 Did  you gain weight this holiday season? A great way to drop those 3-5 extra lbs fast is the 3 Day Refresh. Check out my own personal results here. Or you can purchase it directly here!

 

So next time you get down on yourself for a stumble here or there, remember, its just a set back, NOT a failure!!

3 Day Refresh

Okay all, so I just finished the 3 Day Refresh and the verdict is in ..... :::drumroll::: I am officially down 3 more pounds and 2.5 inches from the refresh!

I was a little skeptical about the plan, thinking I would be hungry and grumpy from it -- but nope! The shakes were so filling that on day 1 I could not even eat all of my lunch & shakes (lunch was 12 green beans and a cup of watermelon with a vanilla refresh shake). I was even able to do my workouts during it, however I did find that I was better off doing the modified versions of some of the more intense days, as I could feel how much faster my body's muscles were fatiguing and wanted to stay safe :)    Looking to try it?

So check out these results --- 3 days people, just 3 days!!

So what is the 3 Day Refresh? 

The 3-Day Refresh is 3-day program of specially formulated shakes, healthy snacks, and delicious, easy-to-prepare meals that have been scientifically designed to help you lose weight and break the cycle of bad eating while dramatically improving the way you feel.  Unlike juice fasts or liquid cleanses that are high in sugar and low in protein (which can leave you feeling weak and sluggish), the 3-Day Refresh is scientifically designed to help support your metabolism while nourishing your vital organs.* Plus, you actually get to eat delicious, real food during this program. 

Why Refresh?

• You need a clean break from a period of unhealthy eating.

• You used to eat pretty well but have recently fallen off the wagon and need some help getting back on. 

• You want to jump-start healthy eating habits for a new workout program. 

• You want to quickly lose a few pounds for an upcoming event. 

• You’ve never been a healthy eater, but are ready to kick-start better nutrition for the first time.

• You want your clothes to fit better. 

• You want more energy. 

• You love food and want to be satisfied while you lose weight and get healthier.

• You’ve tried liquid fasts or other fad diets and they simply don’t work.

Stress = Weight Gain

A stressful event can slow down our metabolism—so much so that we could gain an extra 11 pounds over the course of a year... YUCK!!!

Do you count the holidays as a stressful time of the year?

Stressed women had a slower metabolism, higher levels of insulin, which contributes to fat storage, and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol after a meal. (Coritsol is that hormone that causes the gross fat in our midsections!)

Ummm no thank you!! How are you going to decompress and limit your stressors this holiday season?

Here are a few of mine:

- my daily workouts (fight that fat!)

- drinking shakeology (the nutrients help curb those stressful eating binges & fuel my body to take on the day!)

- when i walk the dog i WILL NOT take my cell phone (UNPLUG sometimes!!)

- spend 20 minutes a day doing something for me (even if it's just calling a friend or my mom!)
