So, let me just preface this post with this blurb...ya know, to make legal happy and to cover my bootay.
The results you get from this program will vary. These opinions are just my own, and if you don't like the Ultimate Reset as much as I did, then that's a you problem ;) Kidding!...well kind of. ALSO, several grammar rules will be broken. I use a lot of capitals and copious amounts of punctuation. I talk with my hands (hell, my whole body) and being behind a keyboard restricts that, so hence, the shouty capitals and punctuation.
I decided to do the Ultimate Reset after MONTHS of deliberation. Yes, you read that correctly, months. It was a big deal for me to purchase this program. It's something I needed to budget for and save for. I saved for 6 months because it was important to me. I knew that I needed this in my life.
I had spent the last year cleaning up my diet, working out, and drinking my Shakeology. I lost a good hunk of weight. I almost hit the 50 pound mark and then I'd revert back to my eating habits. I would make excuses and place the blame on others for my sabotaging myself. It's true what they say about a bad diet. You can't out-exercise it.
I did the 3 Day Refresh on a monthly basis. I always felt PHENOMENAL when I did it and even better on the last day. That structure and meal plan worked well for me. Having my meals laid out and planned like that left zero room for guesswork or 'just this once's
I did a fair amount of research about the Ultimate Reset, because of the price tag. But like I said, I saved and I made it happen. And I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I did!!! I cannot put into typed words just HOW much I would make the same decision over and over again.
The first few days were far from great. I felt weak, hungry, and I had a headache from Hades. Thank you, caffeine addiction. I didn't cave and go for the Advil. (OH, and I got my period on day two. Talk about detox) I used a small ice pack at the nape of my neck and chugged my water. I was drinking 2 to 3 gallons of water a day. Yes, I peed a LOT. The first week I phased out animal products and into weeks 2 and 3 I ate a plant based diet. I actually ENJOYED IT. I didn't realize how heavy I was used to feeling. I felt calm, level headed, and just overall G O O D. I didn't even KNOW just how bad of a place I was in. My dependency on food and the reasons I turned to it were thrown in my face. Talk about ah-hah moment after ah-hah moment!
As for my timing, I decided to start on May 1st, making my last day May 21st. I did this program over mother's day, a christening, and my birthday. If I can do THAT, you can too.
I recorded several videos over my 3 weeks doing this program, but I can't find most of the footage! I'm re-recording them and will upload them along with more in depth posts. Here are my results-physically anyhow. HOLY EFFING COW. Stay tuned for those other posts, guys. You're gonna wanna hear about this.
I'm making this an annual thing. Maybe starting the day after my birthday this time, though.
Here's from the front
And the side
And here's for the hater's. You can't suck in back fat ;)
