Well, I have to say that Day 2 of my 3-Day Refresh was much better than my first. We'll see how today being my last day turns out. Yesterday, I still felt a little sluggish in the morning, but throughout the day, I definitely had a lot more energy as compared to Monday. Not sure if it's because of the cleanse or because I slept a little better, but either way, it felt great to have that energy because I needed it. I came home, just pushed play and busted through another Sweat workout as part of my PiYo journey.
The other day I posted that Sweat still kicked my butt, but you know what? Yesterday I rocked it! I felt more focused on the workout than I previously have and I took certain moves like the burpees and piyo push ups at my own pace and I think that really helped. I didn't half-ass it either which made me proud. And triceps push ups are slowly getting easier for me. I wasn't lightheaded or worn out at all after I was done which I wasn't sure how I would be affected with not eating as much as I am used to. Actually, because I had worked out in the evening as opposed to my usual morning time, I had a little trouble falling asleep right away. So, hoping today I get that same energy boost I felt yesterday so I can go home and rock out a new PiYo workout and wrap up this last day of the 3-Day Refresh.
I had seen from another friend that did the Refresh that at night she and her husband noticed a change in their body temperature at night being cooler. This had me excited because I have a warm-natured body and always have to sleep with it super cold. I don't know if it was just the higher consumption of water or a mix of the shakes and food as well, but I have definitely noticed that the last two nights I have not needed to turn the air down as much and I have actually been cold at night. I definitely plan to continue drinking as much water as I am now, which is really not much more than what I usually drink, to see if that continues to help.

I will post my final thoughts on the 3-Day Refresh after I get through today. You know you're hungry when you dream about food all night long, but I am very proud of myself for sticking to it. Yes, it's only 3 days, but in the past I would have been like forget it, give me a steak! I think the problem with those detox cleanses I did in the past was that I always felt hungry. With the 3-Day Refresh, I only had that a few times and then it was time to eat again. I woke up this morning and was down another 2 pounds for a total of 3 pounds so far! Can't wait to see what my final results are.
