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!

So. What have I been doing Post Reset? Read on.

Alot of you will be surprised that I am still eating the Reset meals that are outlined in the guidebook for the Ultimate Reset. Many of you have been asking me what am I doing to maintain, how are my workouts now, etc. So I want to answer all of that right here, right now. Throughout my 21 days-I have discovered that personally, I want to remain a Vegan. I want 50% of that to be Raw Vegan as well. I just know, FOR ME, it helps me feel better and have more energy. PLUS-I recover from my workouts faster, therefore I can push harder in my workouts. I am on the maintenance program for the Reset-which includes Alkanize (the nasty green sweat sock powder-but is SUPER good for you) and Optimize (digestive enzymes). I also wanted to include Oxygenize (liquid oxygen-oxygenates the blood-making you feel oh so good, and your workouts are super fly when you are drinking oxygenated water), plus once a day I will take Detox. To keep things moving. You know what I mean by that. And since doing this every day, almost a month post Reset-I STILL have my post reset results, and I still have that clarity of mind, the peacefullness, the energy, all of the benefits that came with the Reset. Figured out I can keep that feeling forever! Which I LOVE.

I do allow myself to have a little more snacks than usual-but I am experimenting with vegan/raw snacks and side dishes to "get my feet wet"..so to speak. I have alot to learn, like always, and I want to know what my body likes, and what it shuns. Sort of a self experiment. I like science. OH-and as far as my workouts..I basically feel like the Gladiator. For reals. I am doing Asylum with a dash of Les Mills Pump thrown in for good measure. My performances on the hardest workouts I've ever done are SO MUCH BETTER. And with that I feel like a spartan. A gladiator. Or Rocky.

Anywho-that's all I have for now. Summer is upon us, which means LOTS of boating. Who knows-maybe I will drink and eat my face off the next time we are out on the boat. All I know is-is that with Beachbody-I have the tools to get back on track. I can help you do the same thing. KNOW THIS. -DB

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.

Day 3 coming to a close..

So tonight's Ultimate Reset dinner was CRAZY! In a good way though. It was a quinoa based recipe, but what was IN it was magical..the perfect medley of veggies and condiments made it wonderful to prepare (as the whole house smelled of Thanksgiving!) and even better to eat. I'm learning alot on this cleanse. Even though it's only Day 3. Preparing the food is almost therapy for me. I take my time. I usually have a smile on my face while doing so. Just simply "knowing" that I'm putting the freshest, most natural food out there, that I KNOW will make me healthy-well, it's just a fantastic feeling! Watching all the recipes come together (and I am NO cook), and it actually satisfies me in a totally different way-much different than snarfing down some pizza. I realize I don't have to be "stuffed" to not be hungry. I know it all sounds crazy, but it's just one of those feelings I realized today. I can say I am completely satisfied. -DB

Day 3 of Ultimate Reset has commenced

So. people have been telling me rumors that days 3-5 are where you feel like piss-ass. Awesome. Thanks for that heads up. I actually slept GREAT last night, but I did wake up with a little bit of a headache. Hopefully that will go away after my first meal today. Breakfast will be simple: just a certain selection of fruit-but alot of it! I just had my oxygenated/mineralized water with some supplements and ALOT of water. Wierd how I actually look forward to that water in the morning! So do you want to hear something extremely FUNNY? So, blogger has this thing where you can see how people found your blog, what phrases they used to find your blog, etc. Usually it's the normal, "demi bean, demi bean fitness model, demi bean working out, demi bean muscles, demi bean magazine, steroids <--I had to laugh at that one!, etc." You get the point. BUT! A new one popped up yesterday which I think is HYSTERICAL. "The official hate site of Demi Bean." !!! BAHAAHAHAA! I can't tell you how happy that made me. Because anyone that knows me knows I am one of the nicest people out there, but if you're going to hate on me for whatever reason-than ok-have fun with that. I'm moving on because my life just doesn't stop. I have a world to change. But I will say, it just adds alot of publicity for me-so "Thank you" to whoever wasted all that energy into that website-my name will just get more popular. :)

Moving on... I am starting to miss working out. I KNOW that all of my energy needs to focus on detox and digestion. I get it. But I am missing me some Tony Horton and Shaun T. I know soon-I shall return with gusto to these workouts, I just need to be patient and trust the system. Weightloss is still at a solid -4 lbs, and my skin looks fab. Rock on Detox, rock on.
