To Tell the Truth: The Shakeology Cleanse

I mentioned in my last post how I'd reached a plateau of sorts: for 3 weeks in a row, I'd only lost 1/2 a pound each week. And that was without a change in body measurements, either. I was starting to feel a little discouraged. All this hard work and no real progress to speak of! With how hard it was to fit my workouts in while trying to pack up and move and to make myself eat right amid the stress and chaos, I felt like I deserved a little more reward from my bathroom scale.

I say that as if my scale dishes out compliments.

I'd heard of several people doing Shakeology Cleanses as a way to get over a plateau. I figured I would give it a go, too. So for three days, I drank Shakeology for breakfast, lunch and dinner, eating real food snacks of 300 calories or less in-between.

Some cleansers have complained of headaches and weakness, but I never experienced those things. I didn't even feel more hungry than normal! It helped that I have all three Shakeology flavors at my disposal so I wasn't drinking the same flavor every time.

Yesterday was my last day of the cleanse. I woke up this morning and weighed myself to find that I had lost 3 POUNDS since starting the cleanse on Sunday morning.

Hooray!!!

That brings my total 60 day weight loss to 16 pounds, roughly 2 pounds a week!

I was so happy I bounced into the room where my husband Jason was working out to the Insanity videos. After hearing my news, he panted out, "Great...job...Honey!" Normally he would've given me a hug. But I ran too quickly.

No one wants a hug from a sweaty guy!
