3- Day Cleanse

Being a mom and working full time, it can be tough finding time for you to work on yourself. I was a very fit person prior to having my two kids. I ran everyday, ate good meals. After getting married in 2004, I gained what you would call "Comfortable marriage pounds". I went from 115 to 135. When I had my daugher back in 2006, I gained 20 lbs with her and was able to lose that weight shortly after having her. In 2008 I had my son, I gained 20 lbs with him and lost that shortly after having him. I nursed him for 13 months which helped me get back down to what I weighed my senior year of high school. I worked as a Preschool Teacher for 8 years and it was a very active job.
In 2009, I started a job in the HR field and now sit at a desk. I watched and watched as the pounds slowly creaped up on me. 140, 150, 160, and finally I had enough. I had to do something. Did you know the average weight gain for someone in 1 year is 10 lbs? Well that is where I am. I am going on 4 years in July sitting at a desk. I am fed up! 2 years ago I did Insanity for 2 months. I had fabulous results, lost about 15 lbs, felt good. Then I stopped, gained all that weight back. Can you say fad diet? You can only keep it off if you keep doing it, but then you grow bored of the same thing over and over and over again. I then joined the YMCA and unless you have time after picking your kids up from school and being home at a decent time to cook dinner so your kids are in bed in a timely manner. There is just no way your going to get a good workout in.
After enough frustration of trying to lose weight, I searched and searched the internet to see what I could find. One of my friends tried Premier Protein and lost weight like magic after having her 3 boys. I was on board to do it, until I saw the price tag. EXPENSIVE!!
I was talking to my boss and she was doing this cleanse that was on tv with Doctor Oz. It is a 3 day cleanse of shakes and vitamins. When searching for this, I came across the Green Coffee Bean Extract and watched the videos. Women had lost up to 3lbs in 22 days. I thought well, losing weight is not a sprint it is a marathon. So I decided to try it. 22 days 3 lbs. Not bad!
My results on the Green Coffee Bean Extract
Within a week of taking this, I did not see any results. However, the next week I dropped 6 lbs. So 14 days in I was 6 lbs lighter and still seeing results.
I was thinking to myself, I wonder how this would work if I did the 3 day cleanse and the Green Coffee Bean Extract?
So I started off with the 3 day cleanse yesterday and I was down 1 lb this morning. The 150's are in sight! 3 more lbs and I will be jumping up and down with glee!
My goal is 140 by May 1st. I can do this! I just need to lose 23 more lbs. I am hoping this cleanse will help clean me out and allow my metabolism to work good. Here is the link for Dr. Oz 3 day cleanse. The best thing! It has a grocery list!
