I Lost 2 1/2 Pounds In Three Days

Leah Germain
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USFSP chapter.

At the start of 2018, I decided that I was FINALLY going to start eating healthy and get the body of my dreams. Yes, I know I say this every year, but this time I meant it. As great as this goal is I know that it will NOT be easy. Mainly because I go ham on Thanksgiving and Christmas (who am I kidding, all of December.) So I decided to start this journey by participating in a three-day refresh with the hope that it would kickstart my new lifestyle. In only three days I tried to curb my junk food cravings, lose a couple of pounds, and feel AMAZING.

Daily schedule and food plan:

7:30 AM- Good morning! First things first: I have to drink water, and I mean a lot of it. Hydration is super important in a weight loss journey as well as AMAZING for your skin and overall health.

8:30 AM- It’s time for breakfast! I’m going to start my mornings with a Shakeology chocolate vegan shake (which tastes fantastic) along with some portioned fruits! Shakeology is a protein shake that also has all the vitamins and supplements I need to lose weight.  

10:30 AM- I was sent everything I need with the 3-day refresh, so it was super easy to make my fiber drink. Not going to lie, it doesn’t taste great, but I know that it will pay off in the end. 12:00 PM- LUNCHHHHH Vanilla shake- Maybe I did this wrong, but the texture is super chalky. It tastes fine, but the texture is a little much for me.Luckily I was able to drink the entire thing while dreaming about the body of my dreams.

3:00 PM- Veggies and healthy fats are a great tasting snack! This program makes it so easy to plan my meals and portion control them.

6:00 PM– It’s dinna time! I get to drink another vanilla shake and pick a meal option from my little booklet. Honestly, all the meals look amazing and the one I chose tasted just as great as something I would typically make myself for dinner.

RESULTSSSS: So after three days of following my meal plan and some light workouts, I managed to LOSE 2.3 POUNDS!!!! That’s insane for only three days. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? Although it was hard, I stuck to my diet and managed to get RESULTS. Not only did I lose almost 2 1/2 pounds, but I also curbed my junk food cravings, and I no longer want midnight snacks or super sugary food! I overall feel great. I’m no longer bloated, and I have so much more energy. I’m so happy with my results!

XOXO,
