My FINAL results from the Ultimate Reset!


FINAL RESULTS from the Ultimate Reset!


I did this cleanse for a few reasons...



I didn't want to be a slave to food & emotional eating.

I wanted new healthy ideas for my family.

I wanted to feel the way my body was intended to feel.

I wanted to RESET and start FRESH... especially after the CRUISE & just LAZY behavior (Seeeeee... I'm human)!

I care about being healthy for me, my husband and our future.

I wanted to be proud of myself for doing something tough ... ALL the way through!

I did this for ME because I know that when I am taking the BEST care of myself, I am better able to love, serve and BE with others! 

I can say that EVERYTHING I set out to accomplish... actually happened! PLUS I lost 10lbs - can't be mad at that right!? 


Thankful for all the support I had along the way! Thanks a ton!!

WEEK 3 RECAP : Ultimate Reset!


WHEW!!

LAST WEEK of the Ultimate Reset!!

I KNEW this week would be a challenge:


COMPLETELY Vegan & LIMITED grain.

I am SO happy I did this cleanse. It was MOST definitely a challenge for me! I have never felt so good though!! 

I've lost 10lbs, I sleep like a rock, my digestion is the most "regular" it has ever ever ever been, my skin is clearing out, and I just feel absolutely WONDERFUL!!

I have learned that there are SO many yummy ways to cook vegetables!! WHO KNEW!

Honestly... at this point, the FRUIT every morning tastes like a giant candy bowl! 


So every morning.... a giant bowl of SWEET colorful fruit! It was GREAT ... and very filling!


ABOVE ^^ I am officially down TEN pounds just by eating better {NO EXERCISE}

Day 16 of the Ultimate Reset . My body is responding VERY well to WHOLE foods and no animal products. 

Definitely not going to be a full fledged #VEGAN after these 21 days but I most definitely will eat many more vegan meals 

Happy to be doing this.
Proud of myself for sticking to it. 



I enjoyed trying NEW things!! (which is very out of character for me!)

Day 19!

Featuring: Starfruit 


By FAR ... my favorite was Baked Sweet Potato & Garlic Veggies!


Some days I had this for lunch and others I had it for dinner... it was delicious!

1/2 small head broccoli. cut in to bite size pieces
1 carrot, cut in thin diagonal slices
1/2 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then sliced
1/4 red bell pepper, cut 1-inch strips
I added 1/4 of an onion for fun
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. water 
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed 
1 1/2 tsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos

Heat Oil in large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and stir 15 to 20 seconds. Add carrots and broccoli. Stir frequently for 1 minute. Add water and cover for 1 minute. Uncover and add zucchini and bell pepper.
Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until almost tender.
Add lemon juice and aminos and remove from heat. 
Veggies should be cooked but still crisp.


Now.... for the goods!

Pre heat the oven to 425 degrees.

Rince and poke holes in your sweet potato with a fork. Put in the middle rack of the oven on baking sheet for 45 mins. Once you remove it - slice it down the middle and drizzle a tiny bit of (1/2 tsp) extra virgin olive oil and (1/4 tsp) himalayan salt. 


I mean... LOOK at that beauty!!! 


Avocado Cucumber Soup & Roasted Veggies. 

Definitely not our favorite. Just being honest!! It's possible that I added too much lime though! HA!


I spent a lot of time outside this week. It felt great!


I ate a lot of SALAD for lunch.... thats the only think I really got tired of. I am not a HUGE salad fan to begin with, so this was a little difficult for me. The pumpkin seeds definitely helped though - that CRUNCH made a big difference!!


Lastly, this meal was VERY interesting!!! I am so glad I tried it - and it was ACTUALLY good!!

Roasted Fennel Bulb & Lemon Asparagus + Zucchini

SURPRISINGLY this was very flavorful!! It reminded me of licorice :) It was crunchy and ALMOST had a caramelized taste - I will roast longer next time!!

I am so proud of myself for following this plan and NOT cheating. I wanted to do this ALL THE WAY so that I could help support those who want to do it in the future. I can honestly say that I KNOW firsthand what it takes to commit to this program & see it THROUGH to the end.

And .... it is WORTH it!!!

I'd love to support you on your journey!!! Reach out to me anytime!!

FINAL RESULTS coming tomorrow!!

Thanks for ALL your support!!

XOXO,

My Ultimate Reset Video CHECK IN - on Day 3!

Hi guys!!!


Here is a quick EARLY MORNING video recap of my first two days of the UR! 
(Don't judge my sleepy voice!)





This morning's BREAKFAST was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!


Oh yea... PS I'm down 4lbs! Thats a PLUS!!




Fresh Fruit Plate with Yogurt
Use whatever fruit is in season!
I used:
1 cup berried
1 kiwi fruit
1/2 large orange

I sprinkled a DASH of stevia in my plain yogurt too! YUM!

You know, call me boring, but for lunch... I was REALLY wanting my Vegan Chocolate Shakeology. So... I had it!


I made it like this!

1 cup distilled water
1/2 cup rasberries
2 tsp. almond butter
1 scoop vegan chocolate Shakeology
DON'T FORGET your ice cubes need to be with distilled H2O!


In case you know nothing about my magic sauce, Shakeology... feed your brain:


I treated myself to a NICE snack today too!

Green Apple & Almond Butter.


Dinner is going to be a CHALLENGE for me!!

I am going to attempt Nori Rolls with Tempeh & Veggies. 
(I'm not a big SOY fan -- but I've never had tempeh, so I am going to give it a try!)

I'll let you guys know how it goes!!

Oh, I found Miso Paste at Whole Foods, the person I asked the first time I went to the store was a little confused ;) It is in the refrigerated section -- near the yogurt - pretend cheese area ;) haha!

I've read a LOT of people do NOT like the Miso Soup but they all wondered if they "got the wrong kind of Miso paste." I'll let you know what I think & what kind I got.

Thanks a ton for reading!! I'm open to all feedback or suggestions!!

xo,
Brittany

My Ultimate Reset : Day One.

Alright you guys!!

My last post shared WHY I am doing the Ultimate Reset. 

This post is all about my first day!


So far... I am LOVING the Ultimate Reset!

I woke up at 7am so I could drink my Mineralized Distilled water & take my 2 Optimize capsules.

(I'll have a post later this weekend specifically on all the supplements and WHY I am taking them.)

I waited the 30 minutes, cooked while I waited & and then chowed down on this beauty!


This is super simple: 

Just 1 slice of 100% Whole Wheat Ezekiel toast
2 scrambled organic eggs cooked in 1 tsp. EVOO
1.5 cups of steamed Kale

OK... not going to lie. The Kale made me gag. It was a mental challenge FOR SURE. I've had kale many times before, but not completely plain. So I have some ideas to try.... I will season it a little next time and I will steam it a little longer. 

Speaking of STEAMER... I stumbled across a GENIUS way to improvise in the kitchen. I don't have a steamer. I usually pop veggies in the microwave -- you know... 'STEAMABLES'. 

So anyway, I will probably buy a steamer some day soon... but until then... look what I found!


Put 3 SAME SIZE balls of aluminum in a pan. Place them in a triangle.


Bring to a boil (put plate on first - it's easier).



Add plate that can withstand high heat.
Add KALE.
Cover.
Steam it up!

-GENIUS-

So, after breakfast, I went TO BREAKFAST with two of my friends! I accidentally committed before I remembered it was my FIRST day of the UR.

Don't worry. I didn't cheat. I just drank more mineralized distilled water & enjoyed the company. 

Then I went on a HUNT for miso paste. NO LUCK. If you do this UR, get your miso paste in advance ;) I think I will just order it online. 

I waited 2 hours after breakfast time until I have more Mineralized Distilled water & 2 capsules of Optimize. RIGHT. ON. SCHEDULE.

30 minutes later -- LUNCH TIME. 

My original plan was to have some miso soup with my salad, but you know that was a big fat failure. So I went to plan B.


Lentil-Lime Salad


1 cup cooked lentils
1 medium carrot shredded
1/4 cup cilantro (oops forgot that at the store)
1.5 tsp Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Bragg Liquid Amino
Himalayan Salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin

I added TOO much liquid amino ;) It was a tad salty tasting, but overall - it was good. My husband will LOVE this one.

I was so full after that!! I was suppose to also have a salad and toasted pumpkin seeds but I was STUFFED... and to be brutally honest... I was EXHAUSTED! I'm not sure if it's the reset or if it is a coincidence. Either way... I turned on some ocean wave sound track & PASSED OUT for 2 hours!

I never do that.

It was awesome.

 I woke up from my nap (see the robe) and got busy with my Mineralized Distilled water & Alkalinize... the green stuff.



Here is the deal with Alkalinize. It looks scarier than it really is.

YES: it smells like a turnip garden. 
YES: it looks like paint.

But... its not too bad -- just with 2-4oz. of water. Chug that baby!

So you wait 30 minutes and then you have the option for a snack. I decided to have the SALAD that was suppose to be with my lunch for my snack.

Secret about me. I really don't like salad. Unless it has a TON of fruit in it. I am not a big fan of dressings. So... this meal is all out of my comfort zone. But I did it anyway.
I chopped all my veggies up and made it pretty... because that makes me happy.


This is called the Microgreen Salad. Such a pretty name even!

3 cups baby spinach
1/4 medium carrot shredded
1/2 medium cucumber
1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup sprouts
1/2 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped jicama (Whole Foods was out!)
1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro (remember I forgot it)

Then the homemade dressing I chose was Creamy Garlic Dressing:
1/2 cup EVOO
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 cloves crushed garlic
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. Himalayan Salt (the pink stuff!)
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. raw honey

It was tasty... but I couldn't finish it all! Whats wrong with me? This girl can EAT!

I also had 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds. That was a nice CRUNCH!


For dinner, I am REALLY craving my Shakeology. So I think I will go with my Vegan Chocolate. Nothing crazy, just mixed in the blender with water, natural almond butter & ice.

I have a dull headache, but thats my own fault - I didn't stop drinking coffee earlier this week.
When I added in half a lemon to my mineralized distilled water - it tasted SO much better to me!


I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!
I will be going to bed EARLY tonight.
I scheduled a massage.
I have BATH BOMBS from Lush to take a bath tomorrow night.

All is well!

Thanks for reading!

Push the RESET button with me!

Relaxed Sunday Readers....

I gotta tell you about this...

I have been avoiding this!

I'm human & I RESIST new things!!

My body has spoken!! I was just as shocked as you are about to be.... I gained NO weight after the cruise. But I truly could care less about the scale. I used to be OBSESSED with the 3 digit number. It defined my day and it often times determined how I "spoke" to myself 

Not anymore. But... the scale is close to meaningless at this point in my life. I've eaten much MORE than I should these last 3 weeks. I've eaten much LESS whole foods.... much MORE processed foods.



I'm tired.
I'm craving pancakes ---- errrryday.
I'm less confident.
I'm not sleeping as well as I used to.








So... while the ULTIMATE RESET is still lowered in price -- I ordered that bad boy!
