{Beachbody Ultimate Reset} Phase 3

I have finally made it to week 3, phase 3 of the Beachbody Ultimate Reset cleanse. I only have 5 more days to go!!! Thank god. This cleanse is hard! My weight loss results is the only motivating factor keeping me going.

• Phase 1: Lost 4.6lbs

• Phase 2: Lost 1.5lbs

• Day 1, Phase 3: Lost 1.5lbs

Thus far I have lost a total of 7.6lbs!!! Because of this I keep going.

I am stilling suffering though the "Jolly Green Giant" drink.  Some days I can drink it no problem. Other days I gag. I have been drinking this every day for 16 days now. Yuck!

{Alkalinize Mixed}

I am drinking over a gallon of water a day. The catch is, I can only drink distilled water with Himalayan Salt added to it. My pee is officially clear.

{My Nalgene Never Leaves My Side}

I have eaten fruit everyday for breakfast for 9 days straight. Only fruit. I know that this sounds yummy, but fruit gets old and does not fill you up. I am soo sick of fruit.

{Please, No More Fruit}

For the remainder of Phase 3, I will be eating a salad for lunch every.single.day. I am so over salad.

Luckily I have my BFF suffering through this crazy ass cleanse with me.

{What a Night}

Tonight started out not being my night. I took my Beachbody Ultimate Reset pre-dinner supplements which include 2 pills {Optimize}, 12 drops of liquid on my tongue {Oxygenize} and two huge gulps of "dirt" {detox mixture}. The detox did not go down as planned. My last gulp came right back up in the sink. 

{Detox "Dirt" Concoction}

{Detox Mixed- Nice & Thick}

I have to drink the "dirt" before every meal for 7 days. The taste isn't too bad. But the texture and thickness is puke invoking.

Moving onto dinner. I starting prepping the sweat potato and red pepper bisque. {Bisque is a funny word. Our kitchen appliance color is called bisque. Bisque. Speaking of, we got a new dish washer!! New appliances are soo fun. But spending money on them is not.} Anyways, the recipe said grill or broill a red pepper. First, I had to figure out what broil meant. I always imagined I needed this pan. My parents had one and for some reason I remember my mom using it. What in the world do you cook with this broil pan?

 
 Here is my first roasted red pepper attempt. 

{Epic Fail}

The smoke alarms went off 4 different times after I took this out of the oven. Here is my second attempt. 

{Perfection}

The bisque turned out perfectly! I was actually amazed. I can see me eating this post Reset.

Today is day 9 of the Reset. I am down a total of 5.3lbs. My achy legs are gone, I am sleeping amazingly well, but today I've had an awful headache all day. Only 12 more days to go!!  

 

{Beachbody Ultimate Reset}

Ashley and I started the Beachbody Ultimate Reset cleanse {aka what in the hell did we get ourselves into} on Wednesday. The "cleanse" is 21 days long broken into three 7 day phases. Tomorrow is the last day of Phase 1!! Honestly, I can't believe I have lasted this long on the program. It's not easy. I don't know what I would do without Ashley. We have been such a huge support for each other.

The Ultimate Reset is not the type of cleanse where you starve yourself and only drink shakes or water. It's about detoxing your body while creating a healthy relationship with food. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, drink a crap ton of mineralized distilled water and take supplements.

Ashley and I have spent a lot of time shopping at Sprouts, Whole Foods and King Soopers for foods and spices that we have never heard of.

Preparation is key!

{Phase 2 Grocery List}

Here are some of the things I have been eating:

{Tempeh}

{Chicken Salad}

{Beans, Corn & Rice= YUMMY}

{Lentil-Lime Salad}

{Toast, Fruit, Yogurt Sweetened with Maple Syrup}

{Quinoa Salad}

{Quinoa Salad, Veges and Hummus}

For me the worst part has been extreme leg cramps. I am drinking well over a gallon of water every day and stretching like a crazy person to try and make these go away. I have used my rice cooker almost everyday to make brown rice and quinoa. By far the best kitchen appliance I have! So far I am down about 3.7lbs. Phase 2 is the detox phase. I have no idea what this means. All I know is no more animal meat or dairy {goodbye yummy yogurt}. I will also add another supplement to the mix. Only 15 more days to go!
