PiYo has begun

Where to start?  The 3 Day Refresh wasn't easy, but I would probably do it again.  I think it will be a special event thing for me.  I have kept off the 5lbs since I did it.  I was worried that I would gain it back, but I haven't.  I don't feel as puffy as I did before hand.

And now I have moved on to PiYo.  I am only 3 days in, but man, it is not what I was thinking.  I am liking it, though.  I have a long ways to go & I am not nearly as strong as I would to be.  But I am going to continue to push play.  I owe it to myself. I owe it to my family.

So let's talk about motivation.  What keeps you pushing play?  Do you need an accountability partner? Do you need workout ideas, or meal plans?  Let's chat. (Email me at fitforlifeliz (at) gmail (dot) com)

I am thinking about focusing my attention to a few people who really need more one on one coaching, accountability, etc.  but I haven't fully developed this program yet.  In the meantime, I'd love to have you join in my conversations at my facebook page (www.facebook.com/fitforlifeliz). There are daily tips there, meal ideas, workout ideas, and much more.

3 Day Refresh Results

QOkay...  I've been trying to write up my review all day.  First, my results...

I lost 5 lbs & 5" overall.  I lost 2.5" from my waist alone.  I have pictures, but I'll be honest, I'm not confident enough, yet, to share them.  Sorry, folks!  But one day, I will be happy to rejoice in the journey & progress I am taking.

Okay, so the program isn't for the faint of heart.  Seriously, it is SUPER low in calories, as in around 900 per day.  It starts out with drinking 8-10 ounces of water first thing in the morning & eating your breakfast, which includes Shakeology, within an hour of waking up.  I will continue with that trend.  I did like it.

The first day, I found myself hungry.  Not gnaw off my arm hungry, but hungry.  I wasn't quite at the point of salivating over the food my family was eating.

My dinner was SUPER yummy, and I will continue to use it, as a side salad, or add chicken to it.  It was a cucumber & tomato salad.  SO yummy.

This was my dinner day 1 & 2 - I am a creature of habit & I wanted to make sure I used up the cucumber I bought.  

With lunch & dinner you drank the Vanilla Refresh, which is a protein drink.  I am a chocoholic true & true.  So I didn't like the flavor, although it was a very light vanilla flavor.  I will probably never buy vanilla Shakeology, no matter how versatile it is.  

Anyway, for most of Day 2 & 3, I had a raging headache.  I already suffer from allergies & get bad sinus headaches from my allergies, so this was something I didn't like.  

I can honestly say I didn't love that part of it & by Day 3, I was salivating like Pavlov's dog when I saw everyone else's food.  But I put my mind to it, drank more water & made it through.  I did take Tylenol for my headache last night, but it didn't even touch it.  So I went to sleep.

I was so excited because I had heard about how these others ere's having awesome results, they were sleeping better, had better mental clarity & were more energetic.  I on the other hand didn't experience the sleeping better, mental clarity or the energy.  I, in fact, was so tired on day 2, I fell asleep while sitting up, in the middle of the afternoon.  

But today, day 4, or the day after, I had more energy.  I actually felt like working out.  And my mental clarity seemed at an all time high.  I felt great.  I still feel great.

I jumped back into eating with the 21 Day fix plan & started PiYo today.  I will start running again tomorrow, because I have the Disney Princess Glass Slipper challenge coming up in February 2015.  (It's a 10k & a half marathon, back-to-back, on Saturday & Sunday.)  And it's not going to run itself!  (Totally joking here). 

(I totally need to find a graphic for the Glass Slipper Challenge)

Happy Friday!

I am a happy person right now.  Yesterday my 3 Day Refresh kit arrived & today my PiYo kit arrived.

3 Day Refresh is a great way to jumpstart your weight loss or fitness program, help you lose the bloat, and help you with cravings.  A friend & I plan to do it together starting Monday.

It is a program with healthy shakes, and a low calorie meal plan.  It is not meant to be followed for more than 3 days at a time & only once a month, at most.  There are 2 different options.  The one includes 30 days of Shakeology & the second doesn't.  

Click here to learn more about it.  Https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/bcp3d160?referringrepid=372462

I will be posting my results on Thursday.  So stay tuned!

And here is my PiYo.

My accountability group starts Monday too.  I can't wait.  I do plan to do the align DVD this weekend to get myself acquainted with the moves.

PiYo is a low-impact, high-intensity body-transformation program that uses the most effective Pilates- and yoga-inspired moves to sculpt long, lean muscles & burn fat.

I will post my results at the end of July/beginning of August and again when I am "finished" with the program.  Be on the look out, but in the meantime, click here to learn more about PiYo, https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/bcppy160?referringrepid=372462

Happy Friday!  What do you have going on in your life now?
