Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine makes me a Grumpy Gal

Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine (I’m Grumpy Gal)

We recommend starting Ultimate Reset on a Wednesday if you’re a Monday – Friday kinda person because days 3 – 5 tend to be pretty brutal on most people. If you’re not a Monday – Friday type of person, then adjust with the understanding that most struggle with days 3 – 5. Me? I am special. I started being grumpy on Day 2.

I’m the heaviest I’ve been in years and wearing my fat girl pants and NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. Maybe you can relate? Do you have a range of sizes to choose from in your closet or are do you only have one size of clothing in your closet? I have a range. My range is what many of you would consider “thin” but I have no problem telling you that when I’m squeezing into the highest size in my spectrum, I feel anything but thin. It’s such a bad mental game. It’s even more out-of-body when I hear

Every day is life changing…if I let it be. I am just coming from a Dani Johnson event titled First Steps to Success and find myself repeatedly saying my life has been changed by each of the three-day sessions. Then, as soon as the thought been considered, I question the legitimacy of such a claim. So (as usual) I dig deeper.

My conclusion? Every day is life changing…if I let it be.

unhappy couple — Getting healthy can have hidden stresses

Getting healthy can stress you out. You might be reading that and shaking your head wondering, “What is she talking about? Getting healthy is wonderful!” but hear me out. When you’re in a committed relationship and you are not healthy (addiction, obesity, low self-esteem, or many possibilities) there’s a certain level of comfort. When one of the partners makes the decision to get healthy the comfort level is seriously altered. For the purposes of this blog, let’s call the partner that is making positive changes in their life the “healthy” partner and the healthy partner is on their journey for weight loss but this could play out in many ways–they could be eliminating alcohol, walking away from gambling or drugs, committing to getting therapy, or more.
