28 days.....

Well, back in September I randomly signed up to be an Arbonne Consultant....I have always used their products on myself and my babies, but I was very intrigued by their 28 days to a healthy living detox diet.

I put it off for many months "because I was nursing" was the excuse I was giving myself. So when I started weaning Kellyn I went for the diet, starting April 1st. Jeremy was nice enough to join me in 28 days of basically clean eating! So we mostly followed their food suggestions and replaced breakfast meals with a protein shake. Which for him was some sort of heat up breakfast sandwich and for me was my coffee and granola bar. We had some creative meals thanks to this site, this one, and this one. Like the pic below, a dessert one night of berries and whipped coconut cream. (Which is actually really really good!)

Of course Jeremy dropped about 20 lbs and I dropped 13 lbs. So it was a successful venture. The outcome of course is this is definitely a life style change if we want to keep the weight off. Our clean eating was paired with a lot of exercise too! We decided to eat clean during the week and on the weekends be a little more less strict. So it's goodbye bread, dairy, gluten, and sweets! Hello to lots of fresh veggies, proteins, rice flour, and berries! Overall I will say I have a ton more energy (or maybe that's cause Kellyn is finally sleeping through the night) and my running is improving a lot faster then before. But you bet I went out on Monday and treated myself to this....



Although I felt so sick after my first drink, so I'll stay with the soy lattes.....it's apparently a lot easier on my body!
