Day 1 Phase 2 - Ultimate Reset

I am sorry I left you guys hanging for a few days...My bad!

I have plateaued at a loss of 7 pounds....and it's that time of the month (TMI I know). LOL  But this is the beginning of phase 2!  Hooray.  Occasional headaches still plague me, but otherwise I feel good.  I am happy that as of today I can start working out again.  I love working out but more importantly I am excited to use my jogging stroller tonight!  The little guy and I will be gettin it!  I am hoping that the workouts will get me past the plateau and I can start losing some more weight.  My arms and legs miss their previous state of being.  Ha!  I hope all of you are doing well on this fine Tuesday!  Keep up the good work and

DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!

Until next time...

Day 4

Hello all and Welcome to Ultimate Reset day 4!  LOL Today I feel pretty good.  By that I mean better than the last 3 days.  However, I rushed out of the house this morning and forgot to take my supplements.  I did remember to grab my jug of water though.  So I will take them with dinner. Better late than never. Right? Right.  So when I got on the scale this morning it was 1 pound lighter than yesterday.  I think actually it was .8 of a pound.  :)

Any progress is good progress!  I am happy today. I hope you are too!

Until tomorrow....

Day 3 ..... Dun Dun Dun

Well y'all it's day three of the Ultimate Reset.  Holy crap I feel like I got hit by a mac truck!  Today's weigh in leaves me down 5.1 pounds.  YAY!  I am drinking my water with my supplement and I also added some fresh squeezed lemon juice.  It is almost lunch time for me.  Turns out I don't like the lentil lime salad.  I prefer the lentils with no salt of any kind, more starchy.  Here is the low down on yesterday's events.

Yesterday I started to feel the muscle aches.  Then lat night at 10:41pm BLAM!!! I was in pain.  I drank some water and went back to sleep.  Then a few minutes later the pain was so incapacitating I could not even sleep.  So I struggled until 2am.  I was crying it hurt so bad.  My lower back and right hip and leg were killing me.  I tried everything.  Basically I paced the house until 2:05am when I took some ibuprofen.  I slept until 4:30am.  Then I had to get up and go to work.  My first day back to work after maternity leave.  I have been drinking my water all day and my lower back is still in a lot of pain.  I sure hope all these side effects go away soon.  I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Until next time...

Day 2 - Ultimate Reset

4
 
As of today, day 2 of Ultimate Reset I have lost exactly 4 pounds! Let me tell you exactly how day one went for me.  I will not lie about the process and how it made me feel. I woke up and took the first round of supplements.  30 minutes later I ate breakfast. I did this same routine at lunch.  All day I suffered from an excruciating headache.  My face was all red and I felt like I was laboring.  It was awful and then it got worse.  I hovered over the toilet for about an hour before the vomiting began.  Once that dreadful event was over I was ready to QUIT!!!! I mean QUIT!  I looked at my husband and said, go get me some french fries this shit is for the birds.  He said no.  Hmm. :-/
 
 
The husband has been super supportive.  He takes care of the littlest one while I sleep.  You will need some help with your kids if they are not old enough to watch themselves.  You will NEED sleep. I did make a few modifications which I don't recommend, but I had no choice. 
 
Yesterday I had one cup of organic green tea (no sweeteners) to combat the headache (especially after being sick).  I took the oxygen drops from 15 to 6 and I had six again this morning.  A pure rush of oxygen to the body can also cause headaches.  Those were the only modifications. 
 
This morning I took all of my supplements and had a delicious breakfast of steel cut oats and blueberries.  I have to take the wee one for his first set of shots and do homework. Yay.  I am hoping that this little headache I have will go away.  I did drink a cup of non-sweetened green tea before my oatmeal.  I hope today is better than yesterday!
 
I hope that you will not get discouraged.  Everyone has different results.  The support I have received through Beachbody is amazing!!!
 
Until next time...

Day 1



Day 1 - Morning - Beachbody Ultimate Reset

It's 6:25am.  I am so tired! BUT...it is my first day of Ultimate Reset!!  I am sick with something.  It may be a yucky cold or just allergies, but I am not sure which.  I am about to get on the dreadful scale.  Our son is 2 months old and I am about to head back to work on Thursday.  No more maternity leave.  I had to go shopping and get some work pants, but I only bought two pair.  When I got preggo with Bubby I was a size 8.  Yesterday's pants are a size 16.  I have gained a lot of weight in my hips, arms, and butt.  UGH.  I could have bought a 14, but did not want to be miserable wearing them.  So hear goes nothing.  The scale says...dun dun dun..... 182.2.  OMG I could CRY right now.  Oh Lord!!!!! 

Ok, so I am going downstairs to my kitchen to get my gallon of distilled water, take my supplements, and then in 30 minutes eat a delicious breakfast.  I will blog at the end of the day and let y'all know how the day went on day 1 of Beachbody's Ultimate Reset!!!

Until next time.....
