Starting the 3 Day Refresh

 My friend Hope, who has been with me on the 21 Day Fix journey since I started last summer, wanted to do the 3 Day Refresh after a lot of CRAP eating and drinking over the holidays. I was in the same boat, so I readily agreed to do it with her! We set a date, January 2-4; we picked this date because it is RIGHT before our next round of the 21 Day Fix starts and what a way to start off on a strong note!

 

As I've started prepping for the 3 Day Refresh, I thought I'd share a few tips that I've learned along the way. I'm also going to be doing a video journal of the 3 days to share with my challengers! I'm hoping to share my recipes, my workouts, how I'm feeling on the Refresh, and to answer any others questions that you guys have.

 

Especially since the 3 Day Refresh is on SALE this month, I want to make sure you know everything that you need to if you've ever considered doing a cleanse or doing the Refresh :)

 

So with that, here are my tips and my I'll share my "before & after" photos at the end of the Refresh!

 

1. Pick dates that won't offer a lot of temptations for you.

Don't set yourself up for failure by trying to do the Refresh over a holiday, when you have a birthday party, or are traveling for an event with a lot of food. For some people, it's easier to do during they week when they are on a set schedule with work. For others, it's best to do it on a weekend when you have a little more time to prepare/ can stay home!

 

2. Familiarize yourself with the 3 Day Refresh Guide.

Get to know the food lists, the science behind the Vanilla Refresh and the Fiber Sweep, and what you can have for dinner! Read through the schedule and know when you will be eating what. Research what to do to make the Fiber Sweep and Vanilla Refresh more palatable.

 

3. Program the times for shakes and meals into your phone/computer.

Don't get distracted and fall behind! By setting a reminder you will be sure to stay on track. You can even set reminders to make sure you are getting your daily water intake in!

 

4. Drink a TON of water on the Refresh.

More than you would normally drink, and don't count what you put into your shakes, refresh, sweep, or teas. Drink the equivalent of half of your body weight in ounces! Buy gallon jugs and set a goal to get through one each day.

 

5. Plan, Plan, Plan!

Set yourself up for success by planning your fruits, veggies, healthy fats, and dinners in advance. Print out a single sheet with the Refresh schedule on it to hang on your fridge! Buy gallon jugs to use. Find an accountability partner to go through the Refresh with. Research results to get excited!

 

 

I can't wait to share my results with you guys on Monday morning!!
