Christina Manning: 3 Day Refresh

People think it's impossible to do the 3 Day Refresh and can't understand why I would want to do that to myself...well, here's why I NEEDED to do it...

I'm a TOTAL STRESS EATER and I was getting out of control! I was out eating all of my hard work that I was putting in - which just frustrates me even more! So...I NEEDED to do the 3 Day Refresh to get my eating back under control, rid myself of any toxins that was dragging me down. It makes me think about what I'm eating and drinking and how I feel when I fuel my body with healthier options and not junk!

This was my second time around doing the 3 Day Refresh. The first time, I didn't really plan for it and it showed in my results. This time, I went shopping for the food I planned to eat for each snack and meal and prepped it ahead of time. See what I ate on my journey below.

Day 1 of 3 Day Refresh

This was what I ate for breakfast, morning snack, lunch and my afternoon snack. Below is what I ate for dinner. This was my favorite dinner of them all! The steamed coconut veggies were super delicious. I did have everything but my dinner ate by 11:30 and I was starving...luckily I found my peach that I had forgotten about :)

Day 2 of 3 Day Refresh

This morning, I was down only .4 pounds - ugh!

This salad was huge! It was so filling that I had a hard time eating all of it.

Day 3 of 3 Day Refresh

This morning I was down a total of 2.8 pounds!!

The final day of the 3 Day Refresh!! Woot Woot!! This was great day of food during the day (I did have a piece of retirement cake before lunch and a glass of wine next to the pool to celebrate the end of the school year), but my dinner was super tiny (in my opinion). The Asparagus was delicious, but 8 medium pieces with some almonds isn't really what I looked forward to...I'll make the asparagus that way as a side, but never as a main course :) I'm also really glad that today is the last day of the Vanilla Fresh. I know many people who've done the 3 Day Refresh won't believe this, but I think I prefer the Fiber Sweep over the Vanilla Fresh...I can hear the gasps now!!! I'm very excited to see the final results in the morning.
