More about Me!

Okay, one last post about myself and I promise, I will  blog about something and someone else.  I actually began to do that tonight, but there is just too much to blog about that I don't even  know where to start.  So, when all else fails, I go back to me!  :)  The 21 day reset is officially over.  I survived 21 days of a tough, but rewarding workout for my insides.  My final total weight loss was 15.5 lbs!  Woo Who! That is still very hard to believe.  Now the real test is to see if I can keep it off and hopefully continue to lose more.

Some have asked what I was doing.  Well, it was the Beachbody Ultimate Reset  I have looked at so many other "jump start" programs and cleanses and until I found this one, I hadn't found one that I felt 100% good about doing.  This one did cost a little more than most, but I liked how complete it is and that it was not just some "quick fix" type of thing or something loaded with caffeine, like a lot of the ones I've seen lately.  I really liked that there was a group that I would be able to do it with and I trusted the leader.  I think that was vital for me.  The group was led by someone who has been through the reset and was able to let us know what we could expect each step along the way.  I also really LOVE that the program doesn't just drop you after the 21 days.  It actually has a schedule for the 4 weeks following the reset so that you know how to continue with healthy eating and make it more livable for a day to day thing.  Hopefully by the end of four weeks, I will be able to handle this on my own.

Who knows, maybe someday I will be a reset coach and have a group of my own doing the challenge.  I would love to be on the other side and actually be the one helping others feel as good as I do now!  Thanks for reading these posts and for your kind words and support!

I Can't Help Sharing!

Okay, I wasn't going to post anything about this here until I was completely finish with the reset, but I am just way too excited about it today!  As of this morning, which is day 17, I am down 13 pounds!  Yes, 13!  And I feel fantastic!  I feel so amazing, even the sleep that I am getting is so much better.  I actually wake up feeling rested, not because I have slept any more than I was before, but the sleep that I am getting is so much better, so much more complete!  And this was all done with food...real food, food that God gave us to eat!  Yes, I think I have finally found a way of eating that my body truly likes and responds to.   I weigh less and have more energy than I have had in a very, very long time!  I am truly looking forward to my new way of eating now.  I do still have some cravings, but nothing like before.  I still have a long journey ahead of me, but I now believe, with some work, it can be done!  I can't believe it has been 17 days since I have had any red meat or sugar of any kind and I don't even miss it.  Now, I feel like I may actually be able to run that 5K and really enjoy it!  I'm looking forward to feeling better and better.  I don't ever want to go back to how I felt before.  My insides are happy!
