Arbonne30: Week 3 Results

January 28, 2019 Baltimore, MD, USA

3 weeks down, 1 to go!



I've been doing the Arbonne 30 days to healthy living challenge all month which involves shakes and clean eating including Arbonne products, many of which I'd already tried and loved. I've lost pounds and inches while gaining energy and overall better health.

I was worried going into week 3 because it involves an additional step: the 7 day body cleanse. 

I've heard of all sorts of side effects related to cleanses and even started mine a day early so I could try it out at home vs. work for the first two days.

Thankfully, I needn't have worried. It didn't taste bad, I didn't get headaches, I wasn't rushing to the bathroom. I did everything I did in weeks 1 and 2 plus drank this stuff every day. No sweat, really. If the label didn't say "cleanse" I could have easily mistaken it for a lemon flavored fizz stick.

I again prepped a big batch of food to prep for all my lunches: black beans and rice/quinoa with ground turkey, guacamole, and a mixed greens salad. Yum! Prepping has hands down kept me successful with the program.


We had friends over for a Rent Live viewing on Sunday and I put out veggies with hummus, mixed berries, chips with guacamole/salsa, and LaCroix. It was quite a healthy event (I had to skip the chips), and I didn't feel deprived at all. It felt good to step on the scale the next morning and see I hadn't gained an ounce.

At the beginning of the program I was sad to part with favorite things like bread and cheese, but I've been surprised to realize how much I love corn. I don't generally eat straight corn, so I didn't think it was an issue, but man do I miss snacking on some popcorn or the crunch of a tortilla chip with guacamole. I can definitely see it being a "cheat" food for me when I move to a maintenance plan!

Results

I lost another inch and 2 pounds this week! I've read countless articles refer to 2 lbs/week being healthy weight loss, so I'm glad to be maintaining that (my big week 1 loss was of course, water weight). I love how my clothes are fitting, and again, how I'm feeling. I'm still stunned that I haven't had a headache in 2 weeks and haven't needed a nap since beginning the program!


Bonus

I wore the dress in this week's update pic to Ireland in 2016. Technically I weigh the same now as I did then, but wow! Look at the difference healthy makes. You can especially see how much healthier my face is compared to then.




The next 30 day program begins on February 4. If you're prioritizing your wellness, consider this your invitation. I'd be happy to help you!
