What a difference 3 days can make!

The Three Day Refresh is DONE!

To start off, it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. Yes, I wanted cheese and meat really bad. The cravings weren’t terrible, but they were there around dinner time. I like salad and veggies, but I like a nice piece of protein with that salad! I have to admit that I was never hungry, it was just cravings. Knowing how much I adore cheese, I think I might just be stuck with that!

The Fiber Sweep … yeah. Was it delicious? No. Was it terrible? No. It was gritty, which made it a little unpleasant. I have a really weird texture thing with food, so that definitely didn’t help. I can’t eat oranges because of the pulp, but I love the taste of oranges … yeah it’s super weird. Anyway, the Fiber Sweep didn’t “sweep” as vigorously as I had feared. No lie, I was contemplating doing the Refresh over a long weekend because I was worried about being away from home base. I think the Fiber Sweep helped to get rid of bloating more than anything. So Fiber Sweep may be a bit of a misleading name. Granted, this was my experience so if you go through the Refresh it may be different.

There were two other drinks besides the Fiber Sweep, Vanilla Fresh and Shakeology. We all know I LOVE my Shakeology, so I won’t extol the awesomeness of that here. The Vanilla Fresh was pretty good. My biggest issue with that is that I drank it after I ate and was really full. It was almost too much for me to have in one sitting. You would think that I would have learned to have that first, but I didn’t.

So all in all, a pretty good experience. Would I do it again? Possibly. If I hit a plateau or have a big event coming up, I’d definitely consider doing it again.

Now, what we all really want to know … my results. To say I’m happy with the results would be an understatement. I’m THRILLED with the results.

I lost SEVEN pounds and 9 inches! THAT’S CRAZY! Three of those inches came off my waist and 1 ½ came off my hips. So I’d say the Fiber Sweep was pretty darn worth it!

If you have any questions about the Three Day Refresh or Shakeology, let me know! I’ll be starting up the 21 Day Fix soon, so this was a great starting point for that!
