Here I am, the first day of Phase 2 of the Ultimate Reset! I feel great! AND...as a bonus, I'm down 3lbs! May not seem like a lot, but I notice my midsection is more lean-looking. I'll take it!
This phase involves a colon detox. They promise not a lot of pooping--I hope they're right! The detox drink (3x a day) tastes like an herbal tea--not bad at all. Much better than the spinachy alkanalize shot!
Can't wait to post before/after pics!!

Ultimate Reset Day 6
So, here I am, entering Day 6 of the Ultimate Reset. My thoughts so far: The Alkanilize is gross, but i choke it down knowing that it's doing fab things for my body. I'm drinking over a gallon of water a day, which I THINK is causing me to bloat a bit in my tummy area. When I wake up in the morning, the bloat is gone (and i think i look leaner), but by 4pm, my tummy looks big again. The food is ridiculously awesome. Not only is this reset causing me to actually TASTE my food, but it's making me step outside of my comfort zone in the kitchen. Tempeh? Millet? Quinoa salad? Sure.
It's a LOT of food. I have a hard time eating it all! I feel amazing. Not tired, not sore, just....rested and healthy. I LOVE THIS!! I'll update with a weight loss, if any, tomorrow!

3 years in the making
Last week, or perhaps 2 weeks ago, I posted something on my facebook page about holding off 40 pounds for 2 years. What I didn't realize, however, is that it has been since OCTOBER 2009 that I started my new life. Here is my inaugural post.
It's hard for me to remember, nearly 2.5 years later, that I was ever like that woman i describe in that first post. It's hard for me to remember that I used to just sit at this computer--day in and day out--and never take a break for MYSELF. For a little over 3 years, I RARELY took a pee break, much less a lunch break. Time for myself? What was that?
Now, i'm not saying my life is perfect. I still spend the majority of my day working at my computer (hello, I have to pay the bills!), I still run myself ragged with the kids...but I am ENJOYING IT. Doing 'life' no longer drives me into the ground. Yes, there are still some days where I am completely wiped out--but who doesn't have those? There are days when I want to yell, "Calgon! Take me away!" :) Overall, my HEALTH is better, my ATTITUDE is better, and my LIFE is better. And, I can't forget this--I'm FORTY pounds lighter.
Taking care of myself has allowed me to enjoy my life so much more. I take an HOUR a day to myself. One stinkin' measly lil' hour, and use it to work out. But during that hour--usually spent silently cursing at Shaun T--gives me so much. That ONE hour, started three years ago, has allowed me to change from the inside out. I'm healthier than i ever thought i could be, and now, I stretch myself so much further than I ever thought I could. I'm about to embark on a 21 day body reset. And you know what? I'm not scared of it. My BIGGEST problem with it, is that i can't drink coffee. 3 years ago, this would have freaked me the heck out. But everything listed on the shopping list are things that I eat and buy. Maybe not regularly--I mean, I have yet to go buy seaweed wrap, but I eat it a lot. So, I'm not scared. What a long way I've come.
I am so grateful for my health. When I think about how far i've come, I feel...happy. Proud. Accomplished.
I want you to feel that, too. Because I saw what I was capable of with my limited time, and because i wanted to help others, I became a Beachbody coach AND a Certified Personal Trainer. I certainly can't MAKE you do anything, but once you decide to make a change, I can help you succeed. Join me at my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/FitWisdom and introduce yourself. No pressure, no trying to get you to buy anything. Just good, honest, support. I promise.
