Yesterday we cheered our glasses of water and took our supplements. The Final Countdown, you know the song by Europe, was blasting. As much as we love the results from the reset we are ready to be back to a "normal" life. NO we are NOT going back to eating pizza and drinking wine right away. We are proud of the results and this achievement. Week 3 is awesome. You know you are in the final 7 days and that you can picture yourself focusing on other things besides your meals. I always compare Continue Reading >

Ultimate Reset Week 2 Recap

October 5th 2015
Week 2 is complete. The weekends are the most challenging time. Octoberfest, the beautiful weather and people calling to invite is to sit on a patio drinking margaritas. Recap of week 2 of the Ultimate Reset Watching the scale go down is pretty fun. Sure there were some days where the scale stayed the same or went up a 1/2 pound but that is okay. There is ZERO guilt involved when you are eating good food that is healthy. When you are only putting fresh, whole foods into your body there is no Continue Reading >
The food is not over the top strange. Sure the first time I did the Reset I had no idea what some of the things were. The oddest dinner may be the Root Medley because I had never eaten roasted beets before. Not pictured: The supplements or the Shakeology. We had Shakeology as a snack every day for the first week. Fruits, veggies, brown rice, quinoa, salmon, chicken, hummus, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs and nuts. Prep for week 1:  You are in the kitchen a lot. I recommend prepping the week before. Continue Reading >

Reset week 1. The Pros and Cons

January 13th 2014
Reset week 1. The Pros and Cons For those who have followed me through the 21 day Ultimate Reset before you know some of what to expect. Experiencing the reset is totally different than watching someone going through it. It is kind of like parenthood to me. Everyone tells you how difficult it is but also how rewarding it is too. Everyone tells you how being a parent changes everything but you really don’t know how much it changes everything until you are actually a parent. Going to the grocery Continue Reading >

The Hell Of Taking Before Pictures

January 6th 2014
You've taken before pictures. You know you have. Maybe you didn't call them before pictures at the time. They were just pictures. Today I started a journey to get back the me I love. There are people who say love yourself no matter what size you are. I believe that. I do love myself but I don't love the way I feel right now. I don't like feeling like a busted can of biscuits in my jeans. I don't like doing the pants dance to get my clothes on. I don't like having my towel pop off when I get out of Continue Reading >

BLTs on Day 16 of the Ultimate Reset

October 9th 2012
BLT’s When I say BLT what do you think about? Probably bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich right? When I say BLT I mean Bites, licks and tastes. BLT’s can be the downfall of your nutrition and stop you from hitting your goal. The Ultimate Reset makes you aware just how much you spend calories on BLT’s. I’m a BLT offender when I’m: • Making my son his breakfast, lunch or dinner. If there is something on the side I would pop it in my mouth. Cut the crusts off his sandwich, I’ll Continue Reading >

Beachbody Ultimate Reset Day 5

September 28th 2012
Winding down day 5 and we are rocking it. I’m down 9 pounds and Mark is down 7. It is not just about the weight loss. It is about so much more. I’ve spent so many years going up and down. In the last 2 years of becoming a coach the yo-yo doesn’t go up and down as much. It is a few pounds here and there but never a big chunk either way. Except for this year. We rocked the Ultimate Reset in May. I lost 13 pounds and Mark lost 16. Then we traveled and used that as an excuse to not stay on track. Continue Reading >
