Forgot to post Day 19! But here we are Day 20!

OK-so totally forgot to post yesterday. It was one of those days I didn't even have time to wipe my butt. It went by SO FAST. I swear I spend so much time in the kitchen, not just for me, but for my family too. This Reset messes with you. I am not a cook. But now I swear I'm like a healthy version of Emeral whateverhisnameis. So I start cooking healthy shiz for my husband and my kids. Like from scratch. Since I'm vegan now, I don't eat eggs. So, I thought to myself, F this: my kids are going to eat super healthy too! STARTING NOW. So thinking on to breakfast, last night I prepare their breakfast and cook it. It was organic buckwheat pancakes. It called for eggs. So I google the crap out of "egg substitues for pancakes" and I find it. The answer. 1 egg=1/4 cup applesauce and half of a banana smashed. Well I had that, but no the actual apple sauce. So I TOTALLY MADE MY OWN APPLESAUCE. I don't know who I am anymore. I was hellbent on getting them to eat these effing pancakes the next day. I added some stevia for good measure. They don't what that is except it makes it sweeter without adding nasty shit to it. Holy balls. BOTH KIDS ATE IT UP THIS MORNING like it was their job. I even put some mashed apple sauce on top for a "topping" like all IHOP syle. But healthy. OK enough on that. Day 20 is here. I feel fantastic. I can't believe it's almost over. I woke up a pound lighter. Making that 15 lbs lost in 20 days. NUTS. This was such a learning experience, and I can't wait to do a VIDEO recap of my whole journey, and my feelings week to week. That's right. It's all going down and I'm going to explain all the good parts, and all the not so good parts. Just know it was ALL WORTH IT! I feel brand new. And I like that. Gotta make lunch! DB

Day 18 Ultimate Reset Recap!

Today was a BLUR! I remember eating breakfast and lunch, then going to a last minute test shoot with a great photographer, Gamil Awad of Muse Production Studios. It was a lengthy shoot-but it was worth it! Captured some great images. Then I had to rush home, make dinner, drink my water, eat, and then get the kids ready for bed, while recapping work with my business at Beachbody for the evening. So this will be a short post-but I'll leave you with a couple pics from todays shoot. :)

There are TONS more but I will leave you with these! :) On to Day 19 tomorrow! -DB

Goodnight Day 15...

Today was good! I worked, I rested up, I ate all my meals precisely, and now my 4 year old is falling asleep on me. Life is good. Jason went out fishing today and now he is out at Whole Foods getting some stuff I was running out of, food wise. Thank heavens. A bit tired today, no little PM snooze, but I know I'll sleep good tonight. Tomorrow is going to be TOUGH. I have to attend a HUGE Cinco De Mayo party with 4000 people, and being a Charleston Socialite-I gotta be there and represent. VIP: OH YEAH!

Free drinks all around-lots of tequiila-(my FAVE) and me no can't drink. Well, poop. I'm ok though. I'm going to pack my Ultimate Reset dinner and bring it with me; yep-and eat it in the car, or straight up in VIP. Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger will roll into that party with my purse and tupperware.

Time for night night-DB

Well HI Day 15. :)

OK it's official: last night was the BEST SLEEP I HAVE EVER HAD. No joke. Just wanted to put that out there. I know I said I'm only doing 2 weeks of this Reset, but I have decided to extend it and do it the way it was written. When Carl Daikeler and his wife (CEO of Beachbody and wife) talked on a webinar, they said once you are done with the Reset-you should just basically go backwards in it. So that's what I'm doing. Only after these next 3 weeks can I introduce certain things I used to eat and drink like fish, snacks, and alcohol on occassion. By going backwards-you will slowly introduce things BACK INTO your diet, so you are gentle on your body. By doing this-you can actually PIN POINT which foods react well with your body, and which foods don't react well (and they can cause gassiness, bloating, stomach pain, lethargy, etc). They said when you re-introduce something new, to wait 3 days to see what happens. And then move on to introducing something else. This is the only way you can really do this..is by going through the Reset and doing what I just mentioned. No doctor or bloodtest will ever tell you what you are allergic to properly and accurately..(even if I am minutely allergic to it-I'd want to know!). This is the only way I can do this for myself! For so long, so many of us go through life eating this or that, and not even knowing that it is doing something to us on a personal level, that our bodies are not in favor of. This is all about self-discovery and self awareness. I want to know what works with me and what doesn't. You should too! Click on above banner or click HERE to get your Ultimate Reset. If I were you I would get the Ultimate Reset Challenge Pack-which includes Shakeology on Home Direct and a free month in the VIP Club Membership with Beachbody. The Vegan Strawberry Shakeology that comes with the Reset (BTW-tastes like a strawberry yoohoo, YUM) just compliments it so well, and makes for a daily delicious snack. Plus when bought this way, it's highly discounted. WIN WIN. :) Breakfast was delicious as always-can't wait to see what lunch has in store! -DB P.S. I'm down almost 2 more pounds! 12 lbs in 15 days ya'll.

Day 14-1 week left!

ONE MORE WEEK YA'LL. It's amazing how fast everything is going. I noticed on the diet that it gradually weaned me into just fruits and veggies-in CRAZYASS meals that were delicious, no grains! AND AND half RAW VEGAN eating. I didn't even notice it. The Reset will brainwash you. In a good way. I'm not hungry between meals, and I honestly just might give up on alcohol and all the bad stuff for good-just because of how good I feel. Today food was so friggin good and FILLING. Lunch had me with 2 big ass salads, one was our typical "microgreen salad" AND a "carrot seaweed Medley." BTW-those salads are HUGE. Then dinner. I had cold soup. Weird, no? I buckled down and ate it anyway, (RAW)cucumber avocado soup-with a HUGE helping of broiled veggies, and quinoa. I was SO STUFFED after the cold soup (it was still sooo good!) and the veggies-I gave my quinoa to my daughter. I gave up a grain. I don't even know who I am anymore. It was a struggle to get that meal down because I was just SO FULL. I felt like I was in an eating competition. Swears.

I'm full, happy, satisfied, and I feel good. Can't ask for more than that! OH btw-I'm doing a round of Asylum (from Insanity, it's a 30 day program) before I head to Vegas in June for our Annual Coach Summit. Gotta look fly. ;) Let me know if you want to join me by posting in the comments.

Day 13 Ultimate Reset Wrap up..

I HAVE LOST ALMOST 10 POUNDS. IN 13 DAYS. That sh*t is bananas. I have been eating 3 meals a day (delicious meals, at that), plus an optional snack (some days I have it, some days I don't). Plus alot of water and some supplements that help oxygenate your blood and keep your intestinal flora super healthy. OH and I can't forget that alkanize. **shudders** I mean, it's not that bad. Maybe it is. I just chug it down as quick as I can. It's like liquid gr-ass in 4 oz's of water. But it's good for you, so I'm going to take it like a champ everyday (that's what she said). Alkaline=good and healthy. Being Acidic=disease and illness and you may die very soon. I don't want to be acidic. I want to be alkaline. Gr-ass drink and all everyday. p.s. Google that if you don't know what I mean. It's very science-y and it's just too much to write. Plus I don't understand alot of that. Tomorrow is Day 14! It's almost going by super fast. I have a Cinco De Mayo Celebration that I will be attending along with 4000 other party animals (I'm a Top Socialite in Charleston; I don't really know what it means, but it does mean I get to go to alot parties, VIP all the way!)...that might be a little tough, but I'm sure I can do it and go through with no booze or snacks. I've come this far, I just have to. I did tell myself if I was miserable I would allow myself one drink that I would sip S-L-O-W-L-Y. And then have more Alkanize a.k.a gr-ass when I get home. :) WIN WIN. Till tomorrow..DB

Day 10-Ultimate Reset

Holy Balls to the wall-I'm in the double digits now! The meals were GREAT today. I know I keep saying it, but everyday I feel EVEN BETTER mentally and physically. It IS making me a little OCD-I have more energy and so I'm cleaning like crazy, throwing away stuff that should have been thrown out eons ago, and I can't stop "tidying up"..so to speak. I'm starting to cook for my family-the meals from the Reset-and yeah I have to buy more food now-but I feel so good when Jason eats the food and absolutely loves it. And I HAVE found a new pleasure...a way to my heart, so to speak. KITCHEN GADGETS. Like seriously. OMG. Today I went to Walmart (I know, gross), and I happened to pass about the kitchen section. My eyes sparkeled. Why of COURSE I need a lemon AND lime juicer. And a masher for my chick peas and nori germasio (Reset meal). And a GRATER that MEASURES while you grate?! I PUT ALL OF IT IN MY CART. As I show Jason all my little "treasures"..he is rolling his eyes so much and walking away half way through my description of it all. Whatever! I have my kitchen toys that make cooking even MORE FUN! :) On another note: Since we are allowed to do yoga on this Reset-I did do yoga today. Not just regular yoga. AERIALIST YOGA. That's right. I'm so badass. Not really. They have these things (look like curtains) that hang down and you are a couple feet in the air. And then you do yoga on them. Sounds easy right? Uhm...NO. It was challenging, like imagine doing down dog IN THE AIR. And everything else. It was tough, but enjoyable! It gave me a heck of a stretch and I felt AMAZING afterwards. I love yoga's "after" affects..the feeling of calm and serenity. This class definitely gave me that, and I'm coming back every Sunday! Next Sunday we're bringing in the hoops and trapeze for some good ol' fun. Oh wait. I have a couple pictures of what I did today.

That's really not me (I know, SHOCKING), but I swear, I did both of those and more. The silks give you the ability to really get a good stretch and do things you thought you couldn't do. I was a little nervous, but once I let go-I discovered I can actually be pretty descent. It's all in the breath! Namaste-DB

Today was awesome! Ultimate Reset Day 7

I have not had any temper tantrums. Or the urge to kill anybody. AND I feel AMAZING. Clear. Focused. Alert. My food satisfies me (that is in the Ultimate Reset) and I just feel GOOD. I move into the "Restore" phase tomorrow, which will wean me off of grains, but the grains are always optional if I should want some. I like that flexibility. And I'm SUPER excited for the recipes that I've browsed through in this week! Stuff I've NEVER cooked with before, that's for sure. Plus I cooked tonights dinner for the husband-he SO LOVED IT. And he's a hard person to please with food. So all in all-POSITIVITY ALL AROUND! And now I present you with...

GLITTER AND RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS. Sparkle on, -DB
