Shakeology Cleanse Day 3

The Cleanse is DONE! I must admit that I felt it today. I was not in a great mood and I was REALLY craving the stuff I wasn't supposed to eat. That always happens when I know I CAN'T have something - I instantly want it!

I still can't be sure about my bad mood being from the cleanse. I had a really whiney 3 year old on my hands and, again, I only got 2 hours of sleep last night.

I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. It really wasn't that bad! I just don't recommend doing it while your 5 month old is teething and up most of the night. Learned my lesson ;)

Shakeology Cleanse Day 2

Day 2 of my Shakeology cleanse is d-o-n-e!  I felt great when I woke up this morning. Ready to take on the day. Oh, and I was down 2.5 pounds! EEK!

As my day progressed, I still felt great but around 5pm, I got a pounding headache. I'm not sure if it was because of the cleanse or because I only got 2 hours of sleep Monday night and the kids were crazy all day.

I'm really trying to stay away from anything processed during this cleanse. I know that I need to eat more tomorrow. I was a bit dizzy today and ate some extra fruit to get my sugar levels up. Normally I would have had a cheese stick with my fruit, but I'm really trying to ditch the processed food during this cleanse. Just whole food and nothing else.

My Shakeology Cleanse day 1

After eating a healthier, smaller portioned Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday and then another one on Sunday, I think it's time to help my body get back to "normal".

I have been hearing about the Shakeology Cleanse a lot lately. I really wanted to try it but was worried because I am nursing my 5.5 month old daughter full time. Like, the girl will NOT take a bottle! My concern with the cleanse was that I would be providing her little body with TOO much nutrition. So I decided to take the typical Shakeology cleanse and make it more nursing friendly.


Here's my plan:

1. Instead of doing 3 shakes a day, I'm only going to do 2. Shakeology is EXTREMELY nutrient dense and I don't want to overwhelm her or change my milk too much.
2. I am adding in more calories. The average nursing mother burns an extra 400 - 500 calories each day. A 900 - 1100 calorie a day diet will NOT work for my daughter or myself. So, I am adding in an extra snack and subbing the lunch shake for another salad with lean meat.
3. If I am not feeling right (too weak, dizzy, etc.) I will up my calories or stop all together. Like I said before, there isn't anything in the world that would make me jeopardize the health of my daughter or myself.

Alrighty - here's how the Day 1 went down...


Breakfast - 215 calories

• 1 scoop chocolate shakeology
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries

• banana

Lunch - 351 calories

• 3 cups of lettuce
• 1 cup of sliced raw carrots
