Well, I made it through the 21 days of the Ultimate Reset!  WAHOOO!  I'll be totally honest, it was not easy…but COMPLETELY worth it!

Ultimate Reset Journey, Transformation and Results

Ok, I have to do a quick update on Week 2.  I'll be honest…I really wanted to journal more on my blog about my process through each day, and I didn't do that.  Started with good intentions…but life got busy and I was more determined to stay on track with my plan.

I want to update my week 2 since I didn't already do that…

WEEK 2 of Ultimate Reset
So I'll continue with my week 2 phase.  This was the DETOX phase.  And don't worry, it's not a "run to the bathroom" phase.  But you do have to drink a supplement before each meal in this phase (which I think it's not too bad!).  This was an interesting phase for me.  There was one day that I had a headache, but for the most part I felt pretty good.  I had some body aches during this phase, but they weren't too terribly bad.  However, I did feel it at the end of the day and I was achy and ready for bed.  The food continued to be delicious and just so satisfying.  I was able to really taste and enjoy my food in a way I hadn't before.

For breakfast I only had fruit, which I sometimes added a bit of an avocado just to keep my hunger away, but I didn't have to do that the entire week.  I was amazed as to how sweet and delicious the fruit tasted.

Overall, week two was not very eventful.  With a few aches and pains and being really tired in the afternoon, that was the extent of my "symptoms".


Ultimate Reset Women's Transformation and ReslutsWhat the Ultimate Reset Did for Me!
These past 21 days have really been life changing for me…  It was a complete mind shift for me in discipline!!
 I decided to do this Reset because I felt like my body needed a break.  I had been having some trouble with some ups and downs with my weight and had put on 10 pounds.  Even thought I was working out consistently, I had fallen into some bad habits.  Whether it was munching on all the snacks in the teachers lounge, snacking on my kids food or during dinner prep, or just eating sweets or chips like it didn't matter.  I also felt like I was getting little injuries a lot after my workouts and that my body needed to just slow down and clean out.  I've never done a cleanse/detox before, so I really had no idea what to expect.  All I knew was that I got to eat food!!!  That was huge for me because I LOVE food!  I'm not one to NOT eat!




So…let's get to the fun part! 
My goals going into the Ultimate Reset

I've really been thinking over the last couple days about this process and how I feel.  I truly feel amazing.  I am OFF of coffee (major shocker for me), I don't crave the sweets, I actually crave veggies and veggie stir-fry!  I am amazed that I could get the results I did (not by exercising) but by the foods I ate.  I believe 1000% that "Abs are made in the kitchen".  It is absolutely true!!

Microgreen Salad - Ultimate Reset Recipe

This is a salad that has come to be one of my FAVORITES of this Ultimate Reset journey.  I never thought having a good "salad" recipe was very important.  I'm usually one that just dumps whatever I have into my salad and call then call it a day!  But I've got to say, this one is DELICIOUS!  When I look at a good salad, I usually think there is one thing that really sets it apart…for this salad, it's the toasted raw pumpkin seeds that I put on it (Oh, and the homemade dressing!).

Ultimate Reset RecipeMicrogreen Salad*
3 cups baby salad greens
1/4 medium carrot, shredded
1/2 medium cucumber, chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup sprouts (like radish, alfalfa, or broccoli)
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped jicama
1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Add 1/4 cup to a 1/3 cup Toasted Pumpkin Seeds to the salad.

Add 2 Tbsp of dressing of your choice.  (My favorite is the Ginger-Sesame-Miso salad dressing)

Combine everything together in a large bowl and toss gently to blend!

Baked Tempeh - Ultimate Reset Recipe

Tempeh...ever heard of it?  Well I hadn't before I started the Ultimate Reset. But I've gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by how it tasted. With the marinade I used it was actually pretty tasty!!  I've had this for dinner and breakfast during this program and it's kept me satisfied!  

For those of you who don't know what Tempeh is, it is a fermented soy product that's high in protein and easy to digest. It's available in the refrigerated section of health food stores and Trader Joe's. 

Ultimate Reset Recipe2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tbsp Bragg Liquid Aminos
1-1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
1-1/2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup 
1/2 Clove Garlic, minced
4 oz Tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch strips. 

Combine vinegar, Bragg Liquid Aminos, oil, maple syrup and garlic in small bowl; mix well. Place Tempeh in shallow dish and pour marinade over tempeh. Marinate for an hour in fridge turning once to get marinade on both sides. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10-15 min on both sides.
