“The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.” Norman Vincent Peale
When I began the Ultimate Body Reset I believed, for the next 21 days, I would be walking on fluffy clouds, feeling energized and happy 24/7. That I wouldn’t miss any of the foods I was eating before. Pshhht!
I was wrong. There were no clouds. Not the fluffy kind anyway. Some days I was tired and drained. At least once a day I experienced the HANGRIES. You know, when you’re so hungry that you’re angry. I was so relieved when I only had 7 days to go. The week days were in control, but this coming weekend just happen to be full of fun!
Friday night was dinner and karaoke for a friend’s birthday. In order to keep from being creepy-drooly girl at dinner, I simply decided to join them for karaoke. Even then, the champagne was flowing but I finished the evening without one sip.

Saturday night was a wine and cheese party. You know I LOVE me some wine! But I love spending time with friends even more. There was a delicious assortment of red wine and AHHMAZING cheeses, so I was told. Yet I was determined not to touch anything, well maybe a few grapes.
By Sunday I thought that I was in the clear. Then I got a call to join my friends at a local Mexican restaurant to watch football. Mexican food is my nemesis, but I couldn’t turn down watching football. Chips and salsa, margaritas and beer flowed with an added couple of rounds from the nice guys at the next table. I just sat and pounded some good ol’ H2O. My weekend was a success!
Even though I’ve counted down the hours and planned which yummy foods I was going to enjoy at the end, I’ve Reset my mind about food. I no longer NEED animal protein at every meal. Although I’ve missed it, I have great energy and I’ve experienced improvements in my body’s appearance and performance without it. Vegetables are filling and I have no problem making them the largest part of my meal.
I have zero cravings for refined sweets! Big accomplishment. I remember that they taste good, but no longer feel like a ravaged animal who needs to devour them.

The best benefit from the Reset is meal planning. Before meal planning seemed like such a HUGE task. Now I find my self looking forward to getting creative and cooking at home.
All in all this Challenge was bigger than I but just as Mr. Peale stated, I came out with more energy and the drive to keep going! How will you lose your self today?
