I have come down with a nasty cold since completing the Ultimate Reset last week, ugh!!
So I just wanted to stop by really quickly and post my final weight - I'm so happy with my results and the program in general :)
My final weight: 173.0
That's a weightloss of 9.8 lbs over 3 weeks!
I'm thrilled with this, especially since weight loss wasn't my main goal for doing this cleanse - I feel great, have tons of energy, fewer digestive issues, am more alert - just in general, I feel BETTER.
Stay tuned for some more in depth thoughts on the Ultimate Reset!!

Ultimate Reset - Day 10
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Day 10!!! I can't believe I'm already halfway through this program.
So here's my info as of today:
Weight: 174.6 (almost 10 lbs!!)
I feel more alert, energetic and just GOOD. Not sluggish or sleepy like I usually do after eating sugar and carb-heavy foods. I'm really loving how my body feels at this point - but I'm looking forward to how it will feel at the end too! :)
Here is a quick shot of my breakfast - Fruit Plate
I used a lot of different types of fruit: strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mango, pineapple, blackberries and raspberries. It was so good, and kept me full well until lunch time! :)

I am SO loving this program so far!! I won't lie, it has NOT been easy. The first night, I dreamed I ate a whole cake! Those sugary cravings are so real haha! But I have been full after every meal, which is not something you'd typically be able to say about a "cleanse" or "detox" program.
Stay tuned for more as I enter the home stretch of this awesome plan!!

Ultimate Reset - Day 4
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
It's Day 4 already!! I've been slacking a bit when it comes to taking pics of my meals and all, but just know that everything has been SO good so far!
Weight: 178.8 (down 4 lbs!!)
So far, my favorite food has been the Southwestern Tacos - the Black Bean and Rice mixture that goes into those is so tasty and savory - it really helps you feel like you're eating a regular meat-filled meal!
Just a quick note - the Alkalinize packets each afternoon are TOUGH...so gross lol. They're a wheatgrass/alfalfa powder that you essentially take as a shot - I can never mix the lumps out, so it makes me gag :/ Plus it just has such a plant-y, grassy taste and smell - ugh. But I'm powering through them!
Sorry for such a short update - but I promise to have more tomorrow!

Ultimate Reset - Day 1
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
*I meant to post this yesterday but forgot to actually press Publish :/ So where I say today, I mean yesterday*
Today is the day!! I started Beachbody's Ultimate Reset and I couldn't be more excited and nervous!
I'm looking forward to all the positive changes that will take place in my body over the next 21 days (and hopefully beyond)!!
In case you're not familiar with it, the Ultimate Reset is sort of a mix between a cleanse and plain old clean eating! So nothing scary haha.
The goal of the program is to reset, revitalize and recharge your body and get rid of bad eating habits, cravings, as well as harmful toxins and inflammation.
The program has you following a mostly vegan (after week 1, fully vegan) meal plan, full of fresh fruits and veggies - no starvation or juice fast here!
The program also comes with 5 different vitamin/nutrient supplements to help get your body back on the right track on a chemical level. Some are in pill form, and some are powders that you mix into your water - some are kinda gross but I'm hoping I'll get used to them!
Now, this is just Day 1 for me, so I can't testify to the benefits of all this stuff quite yet! But I'm sure I will be able to soon ;)
Here's my starting info for Day 1:
Weight: 182.8
*didn't take measurements, but I'll get them tomorrow!
And here's just a little sample of what the food looks like for Week 1 on this plan:
Breakfast: Coconut Quinoa, since I don't have time to cook the full breakfast of eggs, kale, toast
Lunch: Microgreen salad with 1/2 avocado, basic vinaigrette dressing - so good!!
Dinner: Baked salmon, steamed asparagus and boiled potatoes - the salmon was great, veggies were meh since I couldn't use any olive oil or seasoning on them = bland
So here's to the next 21 days of clean eating and getting this body in shape! Leave me any questions about the program down in the comments - I'd love to talk with you about it as I go along :)

Ultimate Reset - starting Monday!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Eeeek! I'm so nervous and excited at the same time - is there a word for that?? LOL
On Monday, I'm starting the Ultimate Reset! It's 21 days of clean eating and getting your body back on the right track.
I can't wait to get rid of all my cravings for JUNK and nourish my body with the RIGHT foods - and losing a few pounds would only be the icing on the cake! mmmm cake...haha!
I've needed this pretty much ever since the holidays - I lost my healthy-eating mojo and have been struggling ever since.
I'm a bit nervous to try what will basically be a vegan lifestyle for 21 days - Lord knows I love me a good steak haha!
Anyone tried eating vegan/vegetarian before? Likes/dislikes about it? I'm so curious to hear what y'all think!
*And I will be posting frequently throughout the program on how it's going, what meals and recipes I like/dislike, thoughts on the supplements, and before/after photos!
