30 Days without my Scale

By Laura Kelly-Pifer

For many of us, stepping on the scale can be a daunting task.  At least for me it was.  For many years, I allowed the scale to control how I felt about myself.  I’m here to tell you that has changed.  30 days ago, I embarked on a journey to NOT weigh myself.  And, I’m pleased to announce that I completed my challenge with success.  Was it hard?  Heck yeah!  I had stepped on that thing just about every day of my adult life. But, my attitude towards it has changed.  I no longer have a need to get on it.

Since I completed my no scale challenge and am coming back from vacation as well as a few business trips, I decided to begin a new challenge.  It’s actually a 3 Day Cleanse.  I’m feeling a little less than healthy and know that this is perfect for me to get back on track.   Because of the way this challenge is set up, I need to use the scale to get a an idea on my starting point and will do so each day until it’s complete.   After that, my plan is to weigh myself monthly and no more than that.  I don’t want to be back to where I was before the no scale challenge and fall back into that routine.

So, you may be wondering what kind of a challenge would be so important that I’d get back on the scale.  Well, let me share that with you below.  And, if you feel like you  want to join me to feel healthier, shed a few inches or pounds and gain back control, I’d be thrilled to work with you.  This is all part of my “go to” action plan to help me reach my own weight loss goals and helps me rid any of the toxins, junk and gunk as I like to call it.

Shakeology®  3 Day Cleanse

1. Bag Of Shakeology. You’ll want a full bag or entire box of packets so that you’ll have enough Shakeology to complete all 3 days.  And, the extra will help you maintain your results when consumed daily.  Be sure to choose autoship so that you save on shipping as well as qualify for any promotions that I personally have going on from time to time.

2. Green Tea. You’ll want at least 6 bags as you will be drinking this throughout the day.  You can find this at any market.

3. Fruit (optional). This is optional, but if you’re feeling the need to snack, eat a piece of fruit.  Choose from apples, oranges, bananas, pears, etc. You’ll want to have enough so that you can eat 1 or 2 pieces of fruit per day.

4. Salad. The darker the leaf, the better.

5. Chicken Or Fish (optional). This is also optional, and you can choose to have it on top of your salad or not.  Grill or bake, do not fry.
