Enjoying a cup of coffee-why is this significant you ask? Well, I just completed a 3-day program called the 3-Day Refresh and NO COFFEE allowed on that baby. I can honestly tell you that about killed me......yep, total coffee addict here and not ashamed to say so. For three days no grains, no dairy, no meat-just fruit, veggies along with a few healthy fats and specifically formulated shakes. It was HARD-I won't lie about that but I lost 3.1 pounds, 2 inches off my waist and 1 inch off my hips. OF COURSE you'll lose weight when you're on a restricted diet for 3 days-let's just be real about that one but the whole point is that I needed to flush the crap out of my body (which I'm sure caused the two nasty headaches the nights of day one and two) and refocus my eating. I'll be doing this again next month because hey, I need to accountability for sure. I might have to move to a cave so I don't hurt anyone because yeah, I got pretty cranky and all those veggies, yeah I was just a little bit gassy. WHO WOULDN'T when you can't eat anything??? Just kidding, you could eat but the list was pretty small so it feels like you can't eat anything. The veggie stir-fry nights one and three was tasty. So, I'm happily drinking my coffee and looking forward to some meat today because that's being real.
It's going to be a FUN weekend!! We have family visiting so my little guy with have more little guys to play with and we have a 50th Anniversary party on Saturday and I'll get to see some people I haven't seen in a long time. The clouds look like they're breaking up and the sun should come out so we can haul this bunch down to the lake and enjoy the water (because a house full of 5 kids when it's raining out is a big bunch of no fun) Love it that we have the opportunity to have people enjoy this beautiful lake and peaceful country with us-very, very blessed. The super moon is this weekend so hoping to be able to take a moonlight pontoon ride to get the full view. I'm off to finish my coffee and have some CARBS!!!
