Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse: Day 1 (and a little Tiek update)

So primarily I use my blog for teaching...but I am also like to include some things that I do in my personal life. Most recently, I ordered a bag of Shakeology off a recommendation from a friend. I started doing T25 workouts as well, but with my crazy schedule and eternal exhaustion, I haven't been working out lately. So I decided to do the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse. I have the vanilla flavor.


So I am nearing the end of day 1. The hardest part of the day was not having coffee this morning. I suffered a headache and was sleepy most of the day. I ate the following:

Breakfast:
1 cup green tea
Shakeology- water, ice, 1/2 cup of mixed berries
Lunch:
Shakeology- water, ice, 1/2 cup of mixed berries
Snack:
Apple
Dinner: Salad with greens, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, grilled chicken and an asian salad dressing (Olde Cape Cod Toasted Sesame Soy and Ginger, 40 calories serving)
Snack:
Shakology- milk (I had to, the water just isn't good so I mixed half water and half milk), ice, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa

I finished all my "meals" before 6pm and I have to say, I am still hungry. I still have a headache. But I am going to power through. I just had to have some milk in my last shake today. Mixing it with water without fruit just isn't that great. 

I hope to lose about 5 pounds and jumpstart my body and kick myself back into shape with running, T25, and healthy eating. I plan to not eat carbs with dinner after my cleanse and workout every other day. We head to the beach in 13 days! 

I'll update with my progress each day. Wish me luck! This is going to be so hard (not drinking coffee!!!)


And just a little update on my Tieks: I got a call from the woman that has been "helping" me. First, it took a week for my shoes to get from the sorting facility to the woman in the Tieks office. She called me to tell me that my shoes are being sent to a cobbler they use to be "fixed". That was almost a week ago. So getting my shoes back in a timely manner doesn't really seem like the truth. I shipped them out about 3 weeks ago. The woman did say that when they are shipped back it will be priority mail, so I'll get them as quickly as I did when I purchased them. I was told they were going to be cleaned up and fixed. I hope they can fix them. I'll keep you posted!

  1. Lindsay,

    I have been following your Tieks issue as if they were my own shoes! Customer service can really make or break it for me. I hope you get them back soon!

    1. My Tieks ordeal is on my mind constantly...especially since I haven't had them in 3 weeks and looking like I'll be without them for a month when I finally get them back. I really think the shoes are comfy...but I am not sold on these either! Looks like I will try a different brand to see how they hold up.

  2. I know this is technically cheating, but it's what my doctor recommends for shakes... add a tsp of your favorite pudding mix and any extracts to your shake to change the flavor. You have to keep things interesting or the shakes become cumbersome and mundane. I have a whole mess of recipes I use for my morning shakes.

    1. I have seen Shakeology recipes that add a tsp of pudding mix. I haven't tried it, but like adding the unsweetened cocoa. I am using my first and most likely last bag of it. By the time I am done with the cleanse, I might have 4-5 servings left. I am just not sold on spending $130 per bag. I think I will go back to having my normal fruit/yogurt smoothie for breakfast or try a meal replacement shake that is cheaper when I am out.
