Ultimate Reset Day 11 Selfie

Ultimate Reset – Day #11

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #11. Today is the SuperBowl!! Let me repeat that..Today is the SuperBowl!

Did I survive, the Pizza, wings, snacks, chips, desserts, and adult beverages? Kind of but not exactly! I’ll admit I had a slice, and a beer tonight…but the rest was fruit and veggies! 

Thoughts

Not gonna beat myself up over it though……Woke up this morning and while I was a little sick from that little amount with the grease and all, I actually lost another lb…The body is a funny thing..I had kind of plateaued a lil but just giving my body a few more calories today it actually kickstarted the body to let free some more of that stored sugar and fat and burn it again..hence I lost a lb eating something I should not have…..

Back on track Monday though! Were i the home stretch now!!

Ultimate Reset – Day #10

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #10. Well the dreaded weekend is in full effect…..Why do I say dreaded? Well weekends are hard on the reset…Your not as scheduled work wise, you have more family events like sports and tournaments in my case…So its easy to get off track and eat conveniently when your not supposed to!!

Meals

Case in point…All day Bowling tournament today! So whats a guy to do? Plan ahead! we had our healthy breakfast before we left and took our Reset supplement Bag and our lunch and mid afternoon snack! Yep we sat in the corner of a bowling alley eating micro green salads and fruit while everyone else had burgers, fries, and pizza! like I said in the start…I got goals!

now with that being said..Tomorrow will be tougher…Why? Its the SuperBowl! Yeah I’ve already decided I may have to have a slice or wing! Grrrrr tis gonna be tough!

Heres the bag that keeps us on track! Especially when traveling! Houses all our supplements and goodies!

Ultimate Reset – Day #9

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #9 has come and gone and the Middle of this reset road is so close now! It always excites me to be on the down slope of the Ultimate Reset…Why? Well it means your that much closer to getting back to a new regular healthier choices routine…..

Today was tough because for some reason I had cravings today…Yes I had cravings for some of the stuff I’m trying to retreat and reduce. One thing that always helps with my cravings though and a trick I have used for years is a scoop of Peanut or Almond Butter. Yep it can be that easy too curb cravings… and Yes I had to resort to that today.

Tomorrow will be tough as its Saturday and have a day filled with sons events…Tournament all day so that means have to be extra ready and prepared and bring our meals with us!

Wish us luck!

Ultimate Reset – Day #8

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #8. Streamlined kind of Day for the official kick off to week 2. I guess what that means is nothing to report that was extraordinary today…..Hey thats a good thing!

Introduced a new supplement this week though… A 3 times a day detox powder ya mix with your mineralized water you drink 30 mins before each meal. Now with a Pelvic Pouch, no Colon,  and Ulcerative Colitis I usually only do 2 of the 3 per day because after all my natural state is not being too backed up… I have to be careful not to cause infection in my pouch…But for the regular “Colon” user ya do it three times a day 😉

Meals

Carbs were non existent today as I had Fruit for Breakfast, Microgreen Salad for lunch and had Miso Soup again for dinner…What can I say..I like the Miso!

Onto Day 9! Hey look were almost half way there!

Ultimate Reset Day 7 Selfie

Ultimate Reset – Day #7

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #7. Week 1 into the Books! 2 weeks to go officially as I end today! Week 1 is designed to ease you into whats to come. Ya have some eggs within week 1, a few dishes with meat such as Chicken and Salmon….All of it slowly being removed as you move more and more toward the Vegan lifestyle.

Well I’d be lying if i said I wasn’t gonna miss some of those foods I have to say bye bye to now for the next 2 weeks!! If its one thing I’ve learned over the last 8 years doing the reset is that as much as I respect and admire the vegan lifestyle, its one lifestyle I personally could not sustain long term. I love meat, I love carbs so while its good to detox and let the body heal from some of what we do to it over the course of a year, I just know this is a once in a year thing being vegan for me! But man is it good for the body! Already seeing big changes!

Thoughts

Did I mention I’m down 8lbs already in 7 days…Yeah I did jump on the scale today and was rather shocked. One thing I’m doing a lil different from the Reset rules is working out lightly…Today was Yoga and it felt great to also sweat out some of what the Reset helps you rid the body of!

Looking forward to week 2 tomorrow!

Highlights from today……

Meals

Shakeology was my breakfast today..

Freshly made Miso Soup with tons of Veggies! YUMMY!

Cheers

Meals

Ultimate Reset – Day #6 introduced one of my favorite meals today! Roasted root medley… Cooked the yams and juiced the beets for a great combo for dinner! Its so yummy and natural sweet! Really should click the links below I added to check out the recipe!

My Buddy Jason Diebold got me turned on to juicing several years ago and since then have loved beet juice, apple, carrot, and ginger root. But for this reset just did the beet juice and lil ginger for the next couple weeks!

Tomorrow is the last day of week 1 and looking forward to changes next week with recipes and new supplements. So tells me who’s ready to try the reset now after seeing what it is so far?

Heres some highlights from today!

Ultimate Reset – Day #5

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #5. Week 1 is quickly coming to a close and already starting to look to the changes coming in week 2 as you get closer and closer to being totally Vegan…

Meals

Todays Meals consisted of some things I’m not particularly fond of but if its one thing I’ve learned over the last 8 years doing this is you can mix it up…Some meals from week 1 can be repeated when necessary or when ya just don’t like something! haha! Rules for the reset allow you to repeat some things within the same week or pull from future weeks as its gets cleaner and cleaner as you move forward. With that said Breakfast was a repeat of Oatmeal with added fresh strawberries. Lunch was a Microgreen salad with homemade garlic dressing. Finally dinner consisted of a Quinoa with Fresh steamed broccoli.

Thoughts

Energy continues to slowly rise and looking forward to bouncing off the walls by 21 days end! Haven’t noticed a huge difference in other areas such as sleep or skin yet but sure its coming  soon

Ultimate Reset – Day #4

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #4. Headache free today and felt great with a much more controllable day on tap!

Caught up on a lot of course and classes online today and that enabled me to be more on schedule with the Ultimate reset! All supplementation on time as well as the meals on time!

Still haven’t gotten on the scale yet and to be honest I’m not sure I will until day 22 when I’m complete. For me its not about the weight loss with this program. Its more about the way I feel and changes to sleep, skin, energy, and especially mood!

I get so many questions why I’m doing a weight loss program and so many times I explain thats not what this is. Its a attitude adjustment for food I tell people! Ya see everyone has addictions…Some people only associate addiction with drugs or alcohol or illegal activity like those. But addiction is so much more than that..Theres addiction to sugar or caffeine or even no food things like gambling or even Sex! Addiction can be good too such as those who are to fitness or exercise, or even activities found in hobbies like amusement parks!

For me its about kicking the yearly addiction to bad foods. Not having the headache today has made me more focused on kicking the bad food addiction more!

Almost a week in and ready for whats to come for the last 14 days!

Ultimate Reset – Day #3

Introduction

Ultimate Reset – Day #3. Saturday marked day 3 and also several challenges with being away from home for much of it! Sons sports presented challenges today as we had to travel!

Sure Breakfast was easy but lunch and dinner and timely supplementation while on the go was challenging! Thank god for meal prep and iPhone alarms to keep me and Dana on task!

Woke up early today to not only get breakfast and reset sups down row hatch but also had to make a micro green salad and prepare fresh Nori rolls for dinner.

Thoughts

Headache wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be today…Looks like the Reset gods are taking it easy on this ole guy in the 2020 version! Want to see how it compares with reset past? click the video below and compare and contrast! Ahhhhh to be that young again….Well that is the goal!

Blessings

Ultimate Reset – Day #1

Ultimate Reset – Day #1 is here and has come and gone and were strong out of the gate!

Its always good to get that first day behind you and get the countdown going! Lot of prep both mental and physical go into getting this thing going!

Ultimate Reset Supplements

Supplements are big part of this along with the clean eating. Today and actually this weeks supps are Mineralize, Optimize, Soothe, and Power Greens!

The Mineralize goes in water and is basically Himalayan Salt..This important supplement adds natural minerals needed by the body. Optimize in pill form supports the body helping absorption. Soothe supports digestive health and helps the body deal with the stress of the reset. Its more of a chemical or oxidative stress. Finally the Power Greens are just what they appear to sound to be….Helps the body with its acidic and alkalinity.

As you can see above I had Salmon, Spinach, and baby potatoes tonight. Along with meals earlier that consisted of Eggs and some shakeology for breakfast, and micro greens salad with homemade garlic dressing. No, its not how I’ve been eating throughout the holidays but its exactly why I need to do this now! Imagine what 21 days will do of eating like this for the body! While weight loss will be evident and nice, its not the true meaning of the reset. Its main function is to restore the body to optimal health and operation! Thats the real treat!

Cant wait until you see what it does to me and my insides, mood, sleeping, etc!

20 to go!!!
