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.

Check out what my first day looked like HERE.

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 ;)

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

Snack - 90 calories

• banana

Lunch - 351 calories

• 3 cups of lettuce
• 1 cup of sliced raw carrots
• 4 ounces of leftover Thanksgiving turkey breast
• 1 Tablespoon EVOO
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

Snack - 80 calories

•  apple

Dinner - 205 calories

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

Evening Snack - 249 calories

• 3 ounces of leftover Thanksgiving turkey breast 
• 4 ounces of yams (plain) 

Total calories today - 1190

Happy First Day of Deer!!!

Holiday Hotties and Hunks

Nov. 1 - Dec. 31 is my favorite time of year! 

Warm apple crisp baking in the oven, the Eat N' Park Christmas Tree Commercial, pancakes for breakfast on the weekend, Peppermint Mocha Latte at Starbucks, CHRISTMAS COOKIES, Thanksgiving dinner (hellllllloooooo Mom's Sweet Potato Casserole), 25 extra pounds from eating all of the yummy food, Twinkling Christmas lights, kids getting to write their Christmas list and then sit on Santa's lap to whisper in his ear...

WAIT A SECOND - HOLD THOSE HORSES!

Did she just say 25 extra pounds from eating all that stuff? Well, not really, but it sure feels like it sometimes - right?

Admit it - you've had to unbutton your pants after you got done eating your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I'm not gonna lie - I've done it. Then I wised up and wore stretchy pants on Thanksgiving and Christmas...

Well this year is different! Starting on Nov. 19th, a few fellow Beachbody coaches and I are going to be running a "Holiday Hotties and Hunks" Shakeology Challenge group. It's going to last 8 weeks - Nov. 19 - Jan. 6. Our main goal is to NOT gain weight (and possibly even lose a few pounds) this holiday season!

How in the world are we going to accomplish that? Well, it's actually pretty simple. We are going to eat right and replace one meal a day with Shakeology (on home direct). Some of us are even going to make a commitment to working out at least 5 days a week, but that's not a must for this challenge group.

We know that this time of year is TOUGH! From family gatherings, to parties at a friends house, work holiday parties to Thanksgiving dinner - eating this time of year is HARD. Not to mention, all the Christmas shopping and decorating we all have to get done!

We decided on this specific challenge because we KNOW how hard the holidays are. We know that you don't have any extra time. But we do know that you have the time to replace one meal a day with your Shakeology. We also know that you have the ability to make better food choices. Are we asking you to deprive yourself? NO. Are we asking you to be the party pooper? NO. We are asking you to take charge of your life in a time when people typically let themselves go.

So, who's on board with us? Feel free to email me, look me up on Facebook, or email the coach that sent you to this page. They can help to get you started in our Holiday Hotties group!

Kell (and Mia and Dani too!)
