Ultimate Reset Week 2

HURRAY!  I made it through the second week and the dreaded colon cleanse. I will say, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. There were no, oh-my-gosh moments where I had to book it to the bathroom. Beach Body described the process as a gentle cleanse and that’s exactly what it was. Simply by drinking a supplement 30 minutes prior to every meal. 

Day 14

For me personally, this was the challenge. I literally felt like I was drinking sweetened sawdust diluted with water. I’m not gonna lie and say this stuff was delicious, I dreaded it everyday. It’s not like that for everyone. Many people stated they had no problem with the taste. I’m just glad its done!

I’m down 4 pounds!  I feel a lot less bloated and my weird cravings have subsided. Okay, I still have at least one.  Lately I wish I could have..... chocolate milk. I no longer want to rip the burrito out of my dads hands though. Yipee!  

Switched up the suit

I feel that I have more awareness of the difference between feeling stuffed or full.  And I have more control of knowing whether or not I’m hungry. Like most of the population there are times when I simply want to eat. Call it a food hug or recreational eating, however, at this stage of the program I’m able to identify my need for nutrition instead of merely piling on the calories. 

My energy level this week has been up and down and I wonder if that’s due to my activity level. I’m still going to the gym, taking a kick boxing class, weight lifting, or yoga. I’ve been carefully paying attention to my body and how hard I’m pushing myself. I’ve noticed days where I can go through a work out and feel great, and days where I’m dragging.  I’m just happy that I’m still active through these 21 days! 

Week 3, here I come! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know the time is going to fly by now.

Ultimate Body Reset Week 1

Here I am at the end of week one of the Ultimate Body Reset. To be honest it’s been a love-hate relationship.

I love the body balancing supplements.  I take them 3 times a day, 30 minutes prior to my meals and I’ve noticed how my energy has leveled out from day to day. 

Days 1-3 I hated that I was craving things I rarely ever eat.  Mac n cheese, spaghetti-o’s, cheeseburgers and chocolate (okay, that one I do eat... frequently!) The craving for coffee has yet to leave my body and I’m not sure that it ever will. I don’t feel like I need it, no headaches or withdrawals, but just holding that delicate warm little cup in my hand makes me all fuzzy inside, I just cant help it, I LOVE COFFEE!  

Day 7

I hate that I come from a long line of snackers.  Usually I have at least 2 snacks in between meals (small ones of course) but the program calls for one snack a day. Removing snacks put me through more of an emotional roller coaster than I ever thought possible. I became anxious and found myself pacing back and forth to the kitchen, like some drooling wild animal. I had to snap out of it and tell myself to get outside, go down stairs and read or just sit on my hands. The kitchen was closed and every delicious little item in there was not my friend right now. 

Days 4-7 were a bit smoother because my anxiety calmed down a bit. I’m still working out as I normally do. I have more energy and the sensation that my joints are stronger and more flexible. I assume that’s due to the supplements and the large amount of vegetables I’m eating, but whatever it is, I love it! 

Another part of the program that I love is I’m encouraged to sit down with each meal and really appreciate the food I’m taking in. To really be present with the process of eating. I haven’t been able to do it every time, but I will say I look forward to sitting down and enjoying my meals.  

As for the scale, my number hasn’t budged. I believe thats due to the fact that I ate fairly healthy before and the portions are about the same, minus the snacks of course. But I have lost an inch in my waist! WOO HOO!! 

Now, on to week two......the colon cleanse!!!! I’m extremely nervous.........But I’m determined not give to up.  Can’t have a new journey without navigating uncharted waters. Here’s to a cleaner colon!
