Ultimate Reset Day 3

Ultimate Reset Day 3 : Down a belt notch!

Ultimate Reset Day 3

Ultimate Reset Day 3 and I’m down a belt notch! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! GIDDY UP! I’ll take giving up caffeine and take on making myself eat for those results. How cool is THAT? I’ve no clue if I’ve lost a pound but…does it really matter if the scale moved when my belt notch is moving? Do I give a flying flip what my scale says when I feel great about whittling my middle? Heck no! Clearly, my body is clearly heading further down the path of Ultimate Reset as the aches and pains have settled in as well as my belly flattening out. The aches and pains are the toxins making some noise on their way out of my body but I expected it so I’m okay with it (for the most part). I’m trying to go through this whole experience without taking any over-the-counter medications (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc). A suggestion (and a good one at that) is

Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine

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. Well, not really…I mean I’m not postal or anything (yet) I am just short on patience right now. I’m grumpy. Giving up all of my favorite vices in one fell swoop is difficult at best. No caffeine. No exercise. No caffeine. No binge eating. No white wine. No caffeine. Did I mention no caffeine? (I’ll get into that topic more later…). Anyhoooooo, it’s okay that I don’t have the kids this weekend as my patience appears to have left the building. It’s an odd sensation, really. Knowing that I am totally overreacting yet

Ultimate Reset Day 1 Fat Pants

My experience with Day 1 of Ultimate Reset

Day 1 of Ultimate Reset

Ultimate Reset Day 1 is a success! Well, at the end of Day 1 I can tell you it is a success and I can also tell you it did NOT start out that way. You see,  I took my measurements, weight, body fat and PHOTOS at the start of the day. Sigh. What a depressing moment that is. 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

Every Day is Life Changing.
Every Day is Life Changing.

 

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.

God puts me in situations for reasons and

Getting healthy can have hidden stresses.

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.

 

Relationships have a balance in them. They’re like a teeter totter on
