Hi everyone hope all is well!
We have made it home safe and sound; and even though we loved being around our family, we were missing our house. So as I said in my other post we (my husband and I) purchased the 3 Day Refresh System from Beachbody and I wanted to share our experiences with you.
In case you were wondering what I am talking about
The 3 Day Refresh is a new program form Beachbody which helps you lose weight, energize your body all while you get a head start on healthy eating habits. If you need more info click on 3 Day Refresh.
What happened during the three days?
Day 1 (133.6 lbs/34 inch) was not so great and I am being totally honest with you guys. After all those weeks of vacation eating we suddenly stopped and started the program. Before vacation started I was already 10 lbs overweight and after that I had gained 10 lbs more. With that in mind I had a massive headache, felt weak and wanted to eat a lot. I always take my Shakeology with milk, but had to switch to water (I did not enjoy it as usual but it was doable). I was ok with the fruits and vegetables and actually enjoyed it more than I expected. Personally I did not enjoy the Fiber sweep because of the grainy texture that it has. Dinners were awesome! Oh and I got creative and created my own vegetable broth for dinner.
Day 2 (132.4 lbs/33.5 inch) was way better than Day 1. I had a little headache but it went away by itself. I can truly say that I did not felt as hungry as the previous day. Did not crave the coffee or any other thing, well maybe some chicken at least but any how I did survive it. I actually enjoyed being on the kitchen preparing every meal or snack it was very relaxing. I also left my comfort zone with the vegetables and started mixing them with almond butter and hummus and it was great.
Day 3 (131.5 lbs/32 inch) was excellent! Did not have any cravings or felt like I was starving at all. We even went to church and could handle waiting a little bit longer than usual to get my snacks and lunch. My body was feeling very different at this point that how it felt on Day 1. I was very proud of myself.
Today as I went to the scale it came up to 129.6 lbs and my inches were back to 30! I was so impress and as I said before proud. I could have deviated, eaten more than what the plan had or just quit when I got the migraine but I didn't. I was very surprised and relieved to see that it did not affect my blood sugar (hypoglycemic) and that I felt like I was eaten what I really needed. It also served as a team to reflect and get more in touch with my feelings and with God almost like fasting to me because I enjoy steaks and pork a lot! Maybe you can relate to that. I was so glad I did this, cause later on today I had a reporter come and visit to do a segment on Puertorricans moving to Texas. I was so grateful I had those 4 lbs and inches our of my body...
Things that I learned during this 3 Day Journey:
1. If I made an effort and be creative I could eat more veggies!
2. I can control what I eat even when cravings are present.
3. If you put your mind, body and soul to it you can do anything in three days.
4. I still don't enjoy grainy drinks.
5. I can survive without coffee for more than one day.
6. There are different salads and dressings you can make.
So I am hoping this will help you see how my journey and experience with the 3 Day Refresh came to an end, and at that a very good end loosing 4 pounds and 4 inches in just 3 Days how amazing is that? It can be done and its simple. So what are you doing to be a healthier version of yourself lately?
Would love to hear all about it, go to my new coach page on Facebook and share it with us! Until the next time.....

Getting back on track!
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I wrote so here is an update!
"Its not how many times you fail at something, its how many times you choose to get up and try again."
That is one of my life's motto and, come to think of it it, applies to almost everything including health and exercise. Since before school was over I started gaining some weight. I was very stressed out, working overtime with little or no time to cook properly or to exercise. Plus there were too many extracurricular activities with great food, that of course needed to be eaten very cautiously which I did not do. Guilty as charged!
Well, as soon as school was over I started or tried to get back on track and it was working until we had to go. Since my husband and I are teachers we get this marvelous summer vacations. First we had a road trip to Atlanta to visit my cousin and her children. Later we hopped on an airplane and flew to see our family in Puerto Rico. If you are puertorrican or latino you know how much you eat when you are back home. Then we had a lovely boat trip to the British Virgin Islands where we kept eating and, then we returned to Atlanta. After a few day we started another road trip to Indianapolis to visit my husband's uncle. Last time we were here we ate a lot, and when I say a lot I mean a lot. So we were expecting the same thing this time around. We did warned them that we were a little bit overweight, but that we will start to work on it when we returned to Texas. Thank God they did not take it seriously, cause every since we got here (two days ago) they have helped us watch what we were eating and encourage us to get some workout done. It was a shocker! My vacation was not finish and I was already starting to get back on track, how awesome is that?
So we got serious about it, we need to loose some serious weight! I will like to share with you our marvelous plan. We will stay in Indy for a few more days so we are watching out portions, walking and doing some of the 21 Day Fix workouts. We also ordered the new 3 Day Refresh system from Beachbody which will help us cleanse and energize our body so we can have a great back to school. After that we will start the 21 Dax Fix program. I think it is a great plan don't you agree? I hope you do. Bottom line we all struggle to keep up with our health and exercises during special occasions like holidays or vacations. If you have done so, you are not alone in that road! The important thing is to get back on track as soon as you can. I know it will get to the point were this issues will minimize and we will be able to enjoy our vacations in a healthy but fun way. I will keep you posted on our progress and experience with this new 3 Day Refresh system or if you want to join us please visit my coach page so we can gets you set up. Until next time...
Remember to be a healthier version of yourself!
