Ultimate Reset Recap: Day 21, all DONE!

Wow! So I thought I'd keep up on this and then, as you know can, LIFE happened! So what have I done instead of blogging? Here's a couple pictures!

I spent time in the glorious sunshine!

I took a riding lesson!

I walked with my sister!

I walked to work!

I kept up on my schedule!

I did my first Flex Friday picture!

Okay okay, that's not ALL I did. I worked, and I worked some more, and then I worked a little more! I cooked, and I workout out, and I did a LOT of walking because it's simply beautiful this time of year. I worked on my goals with Chalene Johnson and her 30 Day Push challenge - a FREE program she offers to help you create and achieve your goals. You can check it out and sign up here: http://www.30daypush.com
I can't recommend this program more! It's been helping me immensely! I feel I have accomplished more in the last two weeks than I did in the last two months of the year!

I also did my personal development, something I do every week. My mentor and coach is Dani Johnson: http://www.danijohnson.com . Thanks to the training she provides every week, for free, I have earned multiple promotions at work, strengthened my marriage, renewed my relationship with God, and am building deeper and more meaningful relationships with friends, family, and new people that I meet. I am really excited about what this year has in store for me!

By now you're thinking, "What on Earth does this have to do with the Ultimate Reset, Adrienne? GET TO THE POINT!"

This has EVERYTHING to do with the Ultimate Reset! In my telling you what I did over these few weeks I am showing you that 21 days of cleansing my system didn't interfere with my day to day life. It didn't cause difficulties, didn't interrupt my schedule, and didn't make me feel pressured in any way.

So then, what DID it do?

It made me feel AMAZING! My energy has been through the roof since day one! I upped my daily walk from 3 miles to over 5.5 miles without any lag in energy. I come home from my walk feeling even MORE motivated and have been getting a ton of things done. My attitude has been cheerful, sunny and bright - even more than usual! I have been SLEEPING. Like, really well! Those who know me know that I battle insomnia, and these past 3 weeks I have been sleeping through the night with MINIMAL wake ups. I typically wake up every hour after the first two or three I am asleep. (Being that I sleep an average of 8-9 hours a night, that's a LOT of waking up).

My digestion has been spot on, even better than usual! I have definitely noticed a change in that area.

I didn't miss coffee as much as I thought I would, which was a surprise! I did give coffee up for a spell a year or so ago and switched entirely to green tea, so I have tried that before. However, I LOVE coffee (even decaf!) so not drinking it for 3 weeks is really a big thing for me. I am not the type of person who drinks it for the caffeine alone. I drink it because I truly love the taste, the smell, and everything else! Mmmm... COFFEE!

I did lose some weight, though not a dramatic amount. I wasn't expecting to drop 15 pounds - could you imagine? I'd be exo-skeletal! Ha! I will do the final weigh-in tomorrow morning, but I have been holding steady at about 6 lbs.


The major thing this Reset is intended to do is to get your body back in balance, get your system alkalized and your pH levels back to where they should be. It gets your bowels moving correctly, cleans the toxins out, and gets your stomach doing it's job in the way that it should. The food is broken down in your stomach, and then the nutrients are absorbed in the intestine. If those two things aren't doing what they need to do, you aren't getting what you need to get!

Do I think that the Reset fulfilled it's intended purpose? Absolutely. I truly feel awesome and I am SO glad I did it. I can't wait for a couple of my family members to give it a shot, I am confident they will see some incredible results from it.

I will do the Reset again sometime during the summer, as I fully believe it is worth doing 2x per year for optimum health.

Let me know what your thoughts are! Leave me a comment, I would love to talk more about my experience!
