3 Day Refresh - Day 1

6/23/2014

Day one of the 3-Day Refresh and I woke up feeling...EXHAUSTED. I just got back from a long week in Vegas at Beachbody's Summit (their annual convention) and took a long nap when I got home. This threw my sleeping schedule out of whack so I didn't get to sleep until WAY after my usual bedtime. This caused me to accidentally trun my alarm off and slept an extra 30 minutes from when I meant to wake up. Rough start! 

I also chose today as the beginning of my PiYo journey. It seemed like an easy enough program that I could still have a good workout without being worried about having enough calories. They suggest you do mild to moderate exercising while on the 3-Day Refresh, so I thought PiYo would be perfect.
The first thing you are supposed to do is drink 8-12oz of water. I filled up my glass and drank while I took my before pics and measurements and put in my PiYo DVD. After my workout I got ready for work. I am glad I did all my prep on Sunday so that I didn't have to worry about anything but peeling an orange, shaking my Shakeology with water, and grabbing my lunch bag when I left for work.

Food: 
Breakfast-Vegan Chocolate Shakeology and half an orange.

Mid-Morning-Fiber Sweep. YUCK! I seriously DISLIKE chia and I waited a few minutes too long to drink this. I will add more water and chug it right away tomorrow.

Lunch-Watermelon, celery, peanut butter and a Vanilla Refresh shake. The shake tasted like other protein shakes I've had. Not bad, but not great.

I was so starving that I forgot to take a picture of my lunch until I was halfway done. Whoops!
Snack-Cucumbers and Hummus.

Dinner-Stir-Fry and Vanilla Refresh Shake.

Exercise: 
PiYo-Align: The Fundamentals-This is the intro disk that shows you how to do all the moves. Not really that much of a workout, but that was okay considering how I was feeling.

Feel: 
I've had a slight headache and brain fog all day which could be from caffeine withdrawal, lack of sleep, sugar withdrawal or all of the above. I've peed like a million times. However, I wasn't ever hungry except for when I waited way too long to drink my Fiber-Sweep and had to wait another hour before I could eat lunch. AND I didn't even crave any of the snacks that we have at work, which is UNHEARD of. Pretty stoked.

Takeaways for Today: 
Don't wear pants that need a belt tomorrow. It takes WAY too long to go to the bathroom! Food was great. It didn't seem like a lot but I definitely felt full.

I can't believe one day is already gone! This is a snap. 

Do you want to try the Refresh for yourself? You can get it here.
