Im in another Infomercial! FOR INSANITY THE ASYLUM!

So here I am again-in another infomercial (the first one was P90X). As you can see in my before pic-I was in pretty good shape...but my word-Asylum took me to a whole new level of athleticism. I am so greatful for this program, what it did for me, for Beachbody, and for all the support I have recieved over the years. Hard work does pay off! Never give up on any of your goals, because if you want it bad enough-you'll get it!

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. -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 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 11 Ultimate Reset

Real quick blog post before I do some YOGA! :) Again-woke up feeling great! 7 lbs lost to date, and it just gets better, muscle tone is still there, like I knew it would be. I wanted to give you guys and gals an accountability pic as to what this Reset can do for you too. Remember-no working out on this thing. This is an internal body workout. At least once a year, every athlete or anyone who works out alot, NEEDS to take some time off for your body to rest and repair, and to prevent future injuries. Also when you workout-your body produces alot of ACID. Which isn't detrimental to your health, but your body just needs a BREAK from time to time. This Reset gives you that much needed break without losing muscle, you lean out alot, and you clear your body of all the acid, and all the toxins that have built up over time. Plus, I've been going out of the house without makeup on (a first!), because my skin is just so healthy right now. EVERYONE needs to do this. I was reluctant at first, but now I am SO thankful that I decided to do this. So. Here's my picture.

For once (after having 2 kids) I am NOT sucking it in, and I am NOT flexing for this picture. This is just naturally what is happening. And I'm happy with that! Can't wait to jump into my next workout program (Les Mills Pump) and really take my physicality to the next level. And I can't wait to see the end results of this Reset! Until Next Time-DB

Day 4 Ultimate Reset

And HERE WE GO! Another day. Another Reset Breakfast has been consumed. I feel GREAT. I slept like a baby last night, and I have been going to sleep at like 830pm! I'm usually the night owl-not so much anymore. But I'm ok with that. The scale is consistantly dropping-and I know my body is detoxing and cleansing in a safe, gentle, and natural manner. Inflammation is currently being conquered, and water weight is being shed. I feel more focused today, and that is a new thing for this Reset. I hear it just gets better and better every day, which is truly amazing to me. I have to start prepping for lunch already in an hour-since this dish is pretty fiesty-as far as difficulty factor. I mean, not really difficult, just ALOT OF CHOPPING, of a million fresh ingredients omg. My daughter climbed into my bed for her morning cuddle time with mommy, and I told her "Good morning!" in her ear. Her reply? "Mommy, your breath hurts me!" Pfft. Anyway, I shall post more later with something else. Who knows. -DB P.S. I'm in the "Release" phase of this. I AM SOOO RELEASING. Juss sayin.

Yeah, I know. It's been awhile.

What can I say? I only write when I feel like it. And I feel like it today. Because today I have embarked on this little doozy.

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset

Today is Day 1.

Yeah. For 21 days I'm going to be drinking some funky green stuff to make me more "alkaline," take some all natural supplements, and eat a wee bit differently. It's supposed to be like, amazeballs for your body and you will feel like a new born baby that just came out of your momma's vagina. It's not a harsh cleanse or detox at all-if you could press control alt. delete on your body, that is what this cleanse will do for you. To be honest-it's 1pm right now. I'm a bit hungry. Not like STARVING. But hungry. I can't even workout for 21 days because all of your energy needs to go to digestion and detox. Well ok then. Some of my friends just finished and they are like balls to the wall happy with their results. Some losing 1-2 lbs a day. That's crazy. And WTF I just started my period. Probably not the best thing to start, but whatev's. And of course Jason bought me wine. auqr98rywiaoher9!!!! Sigh. I don't always Cleanse, but when I do, I use Beachbody's Ultimate Reset. Stay healthy my friends.

Get Ready for a picture explosion in yo' face

From the Team Beachbody 2011 Summit. Let me tell you: IT WAS FRIGGIN' AMAZEBALLS. We hung out with our closest Beachbody friends for a week-had amazing training sessions that were so motivational and informational, danced our hearts out every night, and just had SO. MUCH. FUN. If you are not a coach on my team-YOU NEED TO REEVALUATE THINGS. It's the cheapest business to open, it rewards the coaches above and beyond, free vacations, family oriented, and we are REVERSING THE TREND OF OBESITY!! Did you know that obesity now kills more people than smoking related deaths?! That's crazy! You can be apart of reversing this within the next 10 years-if not sooner-but you have to be a coach! I can tell you more about it, but check out www.demibean.com when you get a chance to check things out. And now: A vomitation of picture festivities: (there were so many, this is just a fraction of the pics that are out there!)
P.S I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME ARE BIG AND SOME ARE SMALL A;LSDFJWAIFJOJE#$%# BLOGGER!!! Anyway...

1 Star Diamond-Yeah baby! :) (upper left) :D



And there you go! As you can see, Beachbody is filled with amazing people, and just pure amazesauce. You are missing out if you are not apart of my team! Juss' sayin'.

So in preperation for the Summit, alot of coaches have upped their game physically and nutritionally. Which means for alot of bitchy coaches. Or that may be just me.

Physically: I've started doing doubles 2-3 times a week. What does this mean? I do a cardio sweat session on an empty stomach right when I wake up (the only thing I have in my tummy are BCAAS-Branch Chain Amino Acids to help your muscles along thier merry way). Kill me. It's the worst. But I know when it comes to crunch time for any event (i.e. photoshoots, competitions, SUMMIT) this is what I gotta do. My body responds well to it. My mind and belly give me the finger. In the afternoon-I do weights and a little jumprope speed session (10 min jumprope, followed by weights). I mix it up-whether it's shoulders one day, to legs and butt the next, or bi's and tri's another day. I just make sure I hit each muscle group HARD in the PM. I do take a rest day. But I usually do a great stretch session on rest days. And I do abs twice a week somewhere in there. I sometimes mix up different workout programs from Beachbody as well-since I have all the programs. (Another perk of being a coach-25% off of everything, makes it all VERY affordable!)

Nutritionally: This is my WEAKEST area. I am a snacker. Throw me some chips and hummus. Some pasta. Salsa. Maybe a rice crispy treat. I KNOW. But normally I follow the 80/20 rule even when not in prep for anything. 80% of the time I will eat clean and perfect, 20% of the time I eat whatevertheheck I want. It keeps my sanity intact. Now is a TOTALLY different story. I'm eating, but very very very limited choices. I still eat 5-6 small meals a day. But it consists of the following: Shakeology in the AM-1 hour later a protein shake. Lunch=Wildcaught salmon and asparagus. Snack-protein shake. Dinner=Wildcaught salmon and asparagus. PM Snack if I'm going carb crazy-plain oatmeal (steel cut). PM protein Shake. No alcohol. Then I go to BED. REPEAT. OVER AND OVER. NO VARIATIONS. Fish and asparagus sounds yum right? Well after eating it all day every day it's like the devil in fillet form. But salmon is high in omega 3's which will make your skin glow like a baby's butt and also help with fat loss. Asparagus is a natural diuretic-which means it will help shed any water weight, the natural way. And it makes your pee smell delish.

And OMG the amount of water I am drinking???!!!! I feel like I am preg again with all the pee trips I'm making. But it's all good. It's good to do this to your body every now and then, like a healthy detox. Except it's super long. As a fitness model/fitness coach-you have to be ready for anything 2 weeks out. And 2 weeks is how long I have to do these shananigans.

Results-I have already dropped 4lbs (water weight I'm sure) but it's all fine and dandy because I feel like my muscles are showing more and I just feel better overall. Sleep is like supah fly, and I feel GREAT in the mornings. Until I realize I can't have my Shakeology until I sweat like a sinner in church for 30 minutes minimum.

In other news: The Sephora angels showed up today as well as the angels from Victoria Secret. Some cute dresses and travel makeup/shampoo/conditioner and perfume were delivered. It makes my day special when this happens.
