Opporunities

So, I'm not sure what happened or how, but I broke through my 3 week plateau! I did Jenny all last week except for the weekend where I just ate salads, veggies some fruit and milk. I don't know but somewhere between last Friday and this morning I lost 4 lbs! That has officially pushed me past my halfway mark, leaving me with 10lbs to go.

I'm not feeling super great today because of decision I made yesterday. It was a great opportunity, one I'd thought about for a long time, you know "wouldn't it be super cool if..." Yea one of those. Well it was super cool until I took the opportunity and ended up, unintentionally, hurting someone else. Someone who had been nothing short of kind, helpful, understand and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. Although I'm thrilled with this opportunity, it's marred by the guilt of hurting someone. I guess I just have to hope she knows how sorry I truly am.

Ok, with that off my chest, today is for getting a steamer for the next phase of my diet and a little reward it the form of an iphone case!

Start of something new

So anyone who pays attention on my rantings on facebook may have seen my weight loss has probably seen that it is none existant at this point.  That's right, I'm stuck at 11lbs lost and have been for 3 weeks.

I've tried adding in an additional protein. Didn't work.  Tried adding in another couple hundred calories. Didn't work. I even gave up my Turbo Jam for the 30 day Shred to see if it was a case of muscle confusion.  You may have guessed, it didn't work.

So I've been constantly bugging my Beachbody coach Sarah (who had been so kind and patient with even my stupidest of questions - if you are ever looking for a coach lemme know and I'll put you in touch with her, she is amazing seriously!)  and she recommended I look into The Ultimate Reset from Beachbody.

Just because Beachbody describes it oh-so-much-better than I ever could, this is what they have to say about The Ultimate Reset :

"Imagine your body had a Reset button—like the one your computer has. A button you could just hit . . . and it would clear away the toxic junk that's been slowing your system down. How great would that be?

If you've been feeling tired, run down, or just plain lousy lately . . . if you're having trouble with your digestion or difficulty losing weight . . . if your body just isn't working the way you want it to . . . the solution may be simpler than you think. The solution may be an Ultimate Reset™ .
In just three weeks, the Beachbody Ultimate Reset will restore your body to its original "factory settings," so you'll have more energy and greater focus, experience better digestion and a more positive mood, you'll notice that your body is functioning more efficiently, helping you lose weight and improve your overall health.
And you'll do it all without drugs . . . without fasting . . . naturally and painlessly. You'll do it with Ultimate Reset."

So after hearing about this from the amazing Sarah, I clued in to what one of my Fav Turbo Jam Instructors, Mindy Lawhorne (her "fan" fb page can be found HERE ) and kept checking back.  Then I also noticed that another Beachbody Coach Mindy Wender (her youtube channel HERE) and saw she was doing it.  Her videos are so great and informative.

So with 2 of my favourite coaches already doing it and my own coach hoping to start soon, I just had a feeling...This Ultimate Reset may be what I need to jumpstart that metabolism of mine. It certainly will help to make me healthier, before my super big birthday at the end of the month.  And honestly, I have that cruise coming up...yea, I could use all the extra energy I can get!

So!  Now, here I sit, waiting for my package to be delivered.  I'm eating up all my Jenny food and then I'm going to try and stay away from pre packaged food, hopefully for good.  I'm hoping this will be a new start on my road to health! 

So, when I get the package, I'll be doing a few videos in addition to blogging.  Probably the unboxing, the end of Day 1, the end of the first week, the end of the second week and the end of the 21 days.  It will be perfectly real and honest. I have no stake in Beachbody, so I'll be able to give what I REALLY think!

If you have questions you can let me know here or go to my youtube channel which can be found HERE!
