OK-I know it's been awhile..but here we go!
I HAVE IN FACT-FINISHED THE ULTIMATE RESET. I shall wait for your applause.
Why thank you Mr. President.
Anyway-so the week after I finished the Reset-I totally got my period. #EpicperiodtimingFail. Because I gain like a bazillion lb's during this bloody horror show, I wanted to wait until after that freakweek before I showed you my official after pic. And get this, I didn't even cheat during my period. I usually eat salty/sweet combo's until I pass out in my own sweat and oil with crumbs on the bed. But now-I DON'T EVEN WANT "BAD" FOOD. I know. Who am I? I haven't cheated once (Well, on Cinco De Mayo-a tad bit-but that was a while ago). I'm still eating the Reset meals, because I love them so much. I'm now adding in more protein via vegan protein shakes (LOVE the Vega Sports line!). So, here it goes. My starting weight was 125. I ended up back at my highschool weight of 110 lbs. 15 lbs gone, and 10 inches lost overall. IN 21 DAYS.
The best part is how I feel. I feel like I am 10 years old again; full of energy, and I sleep like a baby every night. I'm always alert, I feel focused, and the CLARITY of MIND is out of this world. That is by far, my favorite part of this whole experience. I now know how to really taste my food, and to eat with purpose. To know if it's really "hunger" or boredom-that was a big thing for me. I was a big snacker..not anymore! No snacking at all anymore, no before bedtime snacks, and I don't even want it! I don't feel deprived of a thing..just because I feel THAT good.
Now you know what to do. Click on that banner above and get your Reset. I will coach you day in and day out throughout your whole journey. It's worth the investment, if you are going to invest in anything-invest in YOU first. You will be SO THANKFUL that you did.
I FEEL ALIVE!!!!

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!

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!

DAY 17 HOLLERR!
How are you doing today! I am doing GREAT. Feel good, slept great, and I woke up refreshed and ready to go. So I have a confession to make. Last night was Cinco De Mayo. I had to go to the party I was talking about. I had 2 drinks. (SHAME!) But I did drink ALOT of water, and my food was on point, didn't cheat at all with bad food. But you know what? I am back on track today and for many days to come. I realized it wasn't that great (the drinks) and I guzzled distilled water faster than anything afterwards. Got it out of my system, and drank some alkanize before I went to bed. And I woke up 2 pounds lighter! Woohoo! 14 lbs lost in 17 days ya'll. Here is my accountability pic:
My midsection is getting more and more cut, and I love it. Goes to show you that nutrition is VITAL when you want to feel better and look better. Click on the Ultimate Reset Banner above if you want to get rid of bloating, fatique, insomnia, lower your cholesterol and if you want to just flat out feel BETTER. You know you want to. Because then you can feel like this every day:
I'll even supply your ribbons.

Well How YOU doin..Day 16?
I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning at promptly 7 am. That seems to be my "comfy" sleep in time. Having my Reset meal as I type, and I honestly can't believe this journey is almost over. I mean, I will still keep the majority of it incorporated into my life, but the fact that I am honestly ABLE to do this..blows my mind. I'm proud of myself for sticking through. And I think YOU should be proud of yourself for whatever you are going through, even if it's hard in the beginning. The beginning of this Reset SUCKED. I was miserable. But it was very shortlived, and I just pushed through..begrudgingly. At one point I looked at Jason and told him, "I don't think I can do this." And he told me that I came this far, why not see how much furthur I can go. And I did. And here I am in the home stretch of this thing. If you are doing a fitness program, eating differently, having a change in your family that is tough, whatEVER it is, I encourage you to stick it through. Because the OTHER side is amazing. It's SO beyond worth it, and just plain beautiful. So be courageous, be brave, and be consistant. These are key fundementals in sticking with anything in life, especially anything that involves change.
Down another pound-I seem to be losing a pound a day. Still full of energy, and NOT hungry. I'm accepting this and embracing it, but I can't wait to jump into another round of Asylum that's for sure on Day 22! :)
BTW-I have to help with a Cinco De Mayo Party tonight. 4000 people. That will probably be all drunk and crazy. I will be taking my dinner in my tupperware, and bringing my own water. No alchohol for this gal! I don't even want it. YAY.
Till next time-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

ultimate reset day 15
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!

P.S. I'm down almost 2 more pounds! 12 lbs in 15 days ya'll.
