RESULTS DAY!! I
couldn’t wait to get up and make my Shakeology today! It was like a little piece of heaven as I was
drinking it this morning. Coming off the
Reset I couldn’t think of a better way to start my 1st day back than
with the healthiest, dense nutrition shake for my breakfast. This was Butterfinger and was delicious!
Lunch today is…….Sushi rolls! What!?
You mean I’m off the Reset but I’m making another Reset meal….YES! These were so good, so easy, and super
healthy to make!
10 Things I’ve Learned Through Completing the Ultimate
Reset:
1. I/You can
accomplish anything if you put your mind to it!
If I can do this…anyone can do this!
2. My “sweet”
cravings are all in my head. Although I
did take a small bag of the candies passed around at the presentations last
Friday night (they were Hot Tamale candies and those are my FAVORITE). I
don’t have the desire to run over grab the bag and throw them all in my
mouth. I’ve worked hard to get the
results I did over the past 3 weeks and I have no intention of throwing that
away! I may eat one or two here and
there, but I don’t plan to go on a sugar frenzy and eat a lot of candy,
cupcakes, and ice cream over the next few days.
3. I can survive
on drinking water alone! I’ve NEVER just
had water to drink and nothing else for 3 weeks straight. I was sure that I would have soda cravings,
but not having the occasional Sprite didn’t bother me like I thought it
would. I woke up this morning and had a
big glass of water. I plan to start
every day like this from now on. Water
is so important to keep our bodies functioning and flushing toxins from the
body!
4. Cooking with
fresh ingredients makes a huge difference.
I liked the process of cutting all of my vegetables and using my hands
to make my meals. It made me respect and
be thankful for the food I was eating.
5. Our bodies are
an amazing thing! If we feed it with the
fuel it really needs, the effects it will have are amazing.
6. Although the
process was time-consuming with grocery shopping for certain things, the prep
work for food, and timing of meals eaten…it was worth it for the lessons
learned along the way.
7. I don’t need as
much food as I thought I did. As long as
you’re feeding your body with the right things, it will take care of itself.
8. I enjoyed
learning to cook new things and I look forward to experimenting in the future
with new healthy recipes.
9. I’ve learned to
take things in moderation. Am I saying I
won’t ever allow myself a cheat meal?
No, of course not! It’s not a bad
thing to feed your body with an influx of carbs one meal a week. It will boost your metabolism and increase
your leptin levels so that you can continue burning fat. Leptin is the key of all fat burning hormones,
so including a re-fuel day is encouraged.
I’m not saying run out and eat as many cheeseburgers, donuts, pizza, and
stuff as possible…just keep it in moderation J
10. Buying fresh
produce isn’t as expensive as I thought it would be. I was mentally prepared for the cost of the
grocery purchases needed for this program, but honestly it was FAR LESS than I
was anticipating.
Ok, so everyone has been asking for the results and here
they are: I lost 15 lbs and over 6
inches over the past 3 weeks!! I’m
incredibly happy with the results and not just for the lbs lost…although that’s
a nice benefit. I feel lighter and less
bloated feeling, and the one thing I wanted the most is that it’s brought my
confidence back in me. I drifted off
course for a while and got into a really bad “funk” phase and now I have the
fire and desire to reach for my old goals and new ones that I’m dreaming
of.
If you are in a slump, want to break through a
plateau, or just get started on a fitness/nutrition plan I would love to help
you and support you through your journey.
Meeting my coach was the BEST thing that happened and she has been there
to support me, encourage me, and challenge me to be the best version of myself
and reach high for my dreams. I would
love to help YOU!
