Beachbody Ultimate Reset RESULTS!

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for sharing this Reset journey with me! This was a hugely rewarding experience and I am glad I could shed some light on it for those who are wondering about it and who are questioning whether this is right for them. I am just going to cut right to the chase and let you know what my husband and my results were from the 21 day Reset cleanse!  (To the right is a little pic of me after the Reset, feeling lean and light!) Results Scroll down for before and after pics!  First let me say, this cleanse is about SO much more than losing weight!  We did plenty of that of course, but here are some things we experienced aside from weight loss that makes this Reset SO worth it! Better sleep (length and...

Ultimate Reset Phase 3 Recap: Home Stretch!

So, week 3 was somewhat low key and "uneventful" for us, which is  GOOD thing.  The food was good, we felt good, no complaints!  Here is my last recap before our big results!! The Food The food this week was really tasty!  We did not eat any grains, though they were optional.  I personally did not miss them, but it's nice to know they were there in case we needed them.  We had fruit every single morning.  Overall, this was a really filling breakfast, but on days when we were extra hungry we made sure to have some green apple or coconut meat on our plates.  Yay for fiber!  My kids also enjoyed watching Mommy bash coconuts open with a hammer, and used the empty shells as helmets for their stuffed...

Ultimate Reset Days 11-14: Phase 2 Recap and Results!

Phase 2 has been pretty uneventful and easy for us I think!  I have had a rough last few days due to my kids being sick and home all day with me, but they seem to be on the mend so I am grateful!  I still managed to prep and cook all of our meals with no slip-ups, and everything we ate was really tasty!  Here are some highlights: Fruit Plate nearly every morning - score!!  I did try the mashed chickpeas and they were ok, but I decided to have fruit the second time they came up in the menu this week.  Love that flexibility! Mediterranean beets - who knew??  I was a big beet-hater when we started this.  Either my taste buds have changed, of the method we used to cook these was better for me, because I...

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset: Day 6, Relief!

I just want to let out a big sighhhhhh with this post! Day 6 was pretty fantastic after the roller coaster of days 3-5! I had no real aches and pains other than a little soreness in my back that was barely noticeable, and my shoulders were a little tight - but they usually are. I guess I carry tension there? Anyway, I felt good! I had lots of energy during the day.  I went to bed slightly early for me and I feel like I got a lot of good quality sleep - complete with some crazy Reset dreams. They aren't kidding when they say you will dream more - I've had some doozies this week. The Food  Breakfast - Baked tempeh, avocado, and steamed spinach. This was pretty good. For breakfast? Eh, I am not sure. The tempeh did have...

Ultimate Reset, Days 3-5: The Rough Patch

I'm baaack!  I have been taking a break from updating every day but I am getting caught up now!  The last few days were a bit rough so I was just not feeling up to typing it all out.  But now that I am back to feeling great (yay for Day 6!!) I am ready to tell you all about it.  Brace yourselves! Why You Should Start Your Reset on a Wednesday (Maybe) I was told (and it says in the guide) that Days 3-5 are typically the most challenging on the Reset in terms of being sore, feeling tired, emotions running high, etc. so hubby and I decided to start Wednesday of last week and he also used a vacation day in order to get the weekend off.  If the weekend is not typically your downtime, plan accordingly.  Wednesday is...

The Ultimate Reset: Day 2 Recap and Review

Ahhhh, Day 2 was a fun day to wake up to!  I had made it through Day 1 unscathed and felt pretty darn good.  The mild headache I had the night before was gone, no real body aches, and I was feeling pretty rested.  I decided to get on the scale, just to see if all the careful planning and hard work from yesterday was doing anything at all.  I didn't really expect much - a pound, maybe two lost?  Instead, I saw that I had lost FOUR pounds in one day!  That was great validation that things were happening!  I decided not to weigh myself again until next Wednesday because I know there can be fluctuations and I don't want to be disappointed.  I have always been a bit scale-obsessed, so I am exerting some...

The Ultimate Reset: Day 1

Day 1, complete!  I am going to try and keep this brief because I feel like vegging out with some quality TV (LOL) but here are my thoughts on Day 1!  (See my overview and "unboxing" of the Reset here.) The Good Things for me today went on a pretty even keel.  The food was pretty tasty and satisfying, I felt fine - no aches and pains, just a mild headache (which is actually pretty normal for me unfortunately), and only a little bit of gastrointestinal "discomfort" early in the day.  I'm not sure what to attribute that to - if it was the Mineralize in my water, the other supplements, or just a fluke.  So not bad!  I also had lots of energy and don't really feel tired just yet (at 8:20 pm).  My husband, as...

Les Mills COMBAT Review

As some of you know, I have been trying to get my hubby to work out with me for a while now.  He tried TurboFire - too intense.  He tried Chalean Extreme - too hard.  I know he wouldn't mind me telling you that he is out of shape, and has a hard time hanging in there with exercise.  He wants to get healthy, so we are actually starting The Ultimate Reset on March 6th!  There is NO working out during the Reset (except Tai Cheng or light yoga), but after the Reset, he expressed interest in trying Les Mills COMBAT.  I have also been wanting to try the program so I ordered it and received it the other day.  It has been sitting on my dining room table, tempting me - until today... I decided that, in the interest...
