The 3 Day Refresh - The What, Whys and Hows....


The last two weeks in my life has been a crazy whirlwind of packing, moving, unpacking, cleaning, doing yard work and more recently celebrating a number of things with my friends and family. My first week home is pretty much like a vacation with A LOT of hard work (and spiders!) I don't get to grocery shop until I have already eaten out a bunch of times and pretty much completely messed up my system.

I have learned over the past year that I don't do well on dairy. I had some great success trying out an elimination diet for two weeks last month but I really overestimated being able to move across the country and maintain that kind of rigor in my diet. (But this is something I am really looking forward to trying when I can really commit. I know there are other things that are messing with my system besides dairy but that is an entirely different post.)

So 2, 169 miles, 9 suitcases, three people, two dogs all got home to a house full of dust, spiders and
weeds that were of prehistoric proportions.

It needed handled.

A truckload of mulch, 5 hydrangeas, two flats of flowers and a day later. The outside of my house was getting close to handled.

But I also had 3 cheerleading practices, a hair appointment, a party to throw for 60 plus people and 3 dinners on separate nights with friends who wanted to say hey, but couldn't make it on Friday.

The way I was eating went out the window and was taken over by convenience and all the at the places my husband wanted to eat before he packed back up and went out of town again.

Needless to say I am kind of a mess right now. We had beer, pizza, German food (amazing!), birthday cake, brownies, hotdogs, hamburgers, and all sorts of different and yummy sides. Not to mention seafood, the best risotto I have ever had, more beer, sangria, caipirinhas, creme brulee, fish tacos, guac and chips.....I mean I could keep going and going and going.

So I am more than eager to get all of this sugar (among other things) out of my system by trying the new 3 day Refresh starting tomorrow.



What is the 3 Day Refresh? 3-Day Refresh is a straightforward 3-Day program to lose weight, get a clean break from bad nutrition habits and feel immediately cleaner, lighter and more healthy…without starving! (There is real food called for on this program which is kind of awesome.)

So What Comes with the 3 Day Refresh?
  • 3 shakes a day
  •  a fiber drink
  • plenty of filtered water,
  • plus 3 small meals and fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the day to keep your energy and metabolism going. 
Why would I want to Refresh?
Maybe you had a weekend (or a week or two) like mine and you just want to get back on track and back to feeling full of energy and generally awesome. Maybe you have a big event coming up and you want to rock it. Maybe you are looking to break a plateau or kick off a new program by hitting the ground running.
