Day 13 & 14 Ultimate Reset Journal

Day 13 and Day 14!!  These two days mark the last of the 2nd phase.  Let's talk about the real deal, what am I feeling!

So of course you may think that I will sugar coat things because I am a Beachbody Coach and I want you to have a good experience with the cleanse.  But that's not me!  I am down 6.5 lbs since I started, I have natural energy, not caffeine induced energy, my skin feels great, my joints don't hurt and the food tastes great.  I wake up in the am and can focus without needing any caffeine.  Fruit tastes like candy!! The downside is that I am such a sucker for sweets!  I literally love eating cookies and ice cream.  I usually would allow myself 1 day a week where I had something unclean.  But with the cleanse there is no cheating at all.  I find myself asking what will I do after the cleanse is over!  Will  I need caffeine, will I eat ice cream and will I have a few chips?

It's hard because I don't want to gunk up my body again because I feel so awesome.  I do believe that having a balance between the two is key!  I plan on maintaining my lifestyle this way 95% of the time.  Then once a week I will allow myself a cheat such as cake, or a little ice cream!  I can't imagine life any other way.  I certainly don't feel like I am starving either!

Day 13 was interesting for sure.  I started out with my usual fruit plate for breakfast.

It is Friday and a CRAZY day at work!  I set my alarms on my phone to keep me on schedule but I was beginning to notice that the hunger pains were really strong by about 10:30am.  I had my microgreen salad.  It's so filling and full of flavor.  The best part is that it's beyond easy to make!

 

By the time my snack rolled around I could hardly wait to drink my shake.  Chocolate Shakeology to the rescue with my Power Greens!  

So now here is where it gets interesting! 

I must say that the smell of pizza and the thought of frozen yogurt were making me crazy!  I seriously wanted to all out pig out on bad stuff.  Ice cream just made me foam at the mouth.  In the past this would of never even phased me.  I managed to get back home and have my own healthy snack.

Now onto the last day of the 2nd Phase! 

It's Day 14 and it's Saturday!!

It is a busy day...we have Pre-K graduation with the Gbaby and then we are off to Shreveport so lots of planning.

 

I just can't get enough of my Shakeology!  I seriously crave it!
Snack time was a salad!
Tonight is the last of detox, YES!!!  Today I had supper for my snack then my chocolate Shakeology for my chocolate fix.

Ending Day 14 with lots of energy and lots of new recipes!  Tomorrow starts Phase 3 which is Restore!!!

Oh Day 9!

So now this brings us to DAY 9- Oh day 9!  How I loathe you!!!

I am a meat eater!  So today I'm starting to miss the meat in my diet.
I started out my day with a wonderful fresh fruit plate that was amazing!  I must say that the strawberries and pineapple are like candy!

Then for lunch ANOTHER salad.  I have to admit I'm not a big vegetable fan so although the salads are good, I'm ready for something different!  My Shakeology saved me again today for my snack.  This week I also added the detox packet which is not very good.  I have learned to mix it with cold water and shake the snot out of it, then just down it!

For supper I had a sweet potato and mixed veggies.  It was wonderful and very filling!  I'm pressing through to Day 10!

Week 2: Release Ultimate Reset

Welcome to week 2: It's called Release!  

This week we add in the lovely DETOX!!!  And exactly what is detox?  It is helping to cleanse your colon and clear out your intestines.  But it's not in a gross glued to the toilet kind of way!  It's a very gentle cleanse that you really can't tell a difference!  I also like to classify this week as the emotional week!  It also could be emotional for me because for the past 2 days I have been bombarded with pizza, cake and ice cream!  So the will power is in full force!!!  Not even 1 sweet!  Plus I really really want to get the full benefits of the cleanse!

So on day 8 you begin you start eating a fresh fruit plate for breakfast.  You can eat a maximum of 2 cups of fruit.  So I loaded up on some of the yummiest fruits in season right now!  Totally delicious.  But I was really hungry about 2 hours later!

Lunch was my favorite the microgreens salad!  I was really hungry today so I added in some extra veggies to fill my tummy!  Dinner was absolutely amazing!  Kelly made me a veggie mix open face sandwich.  I felt totally fulfilled! 

When reading through the Reset they did say that the detox week can release some emotions and stress!  I'm exhausted and I definitely need to hit the hay!!!
