My Ultimate Results

I'm smiling in my photos from this morning! You want to know why? Because I did it! And I feel accomplished and proud of myself for sticking to this. 
And yes, I'm looking pretty mad in my day 1 photos--and for good reason. I had made it to my goal in the past and LET IT GO! I'd basically unravelled what I'd worked so hard to achieve because of excuses like visitors from out of town, 2 vacations--one of which being DISNEY and a great meal plan, etc. Can anyone relate? Wouldn't you be mad at yourself too? 
As most of you know, Brian and I have just completed our Ultimate Reset journey—getting healthier in 21 days has never been as tough (we had a lot of bad habits to break) or as rewarding (we feel amazing!). 
If you aren’t quite sure what the Ultimate Reset is…it’s a gentle cleanse where the focus is on eating whole, clean, organic foods and drinking distilled water so as to rid the body of toxins that are polluting our systems. We are bombarded with so many chemicals—in our foods, in our drinking supply, in the air we breathe. It’s nice to be able to flush most of those toxins out so we can “reset” our bodies into a healthier state and function better. 
For the past 21 days, we made a commitment to our health and to ourselves—so there was no cheating going on. We decided that we were going to stick to the plan and see what happens. The main goal was about health, not weight loss, but we ended up losing weight as a natural result of drinking a gallon of distilled water a day, eating only clean, organic foods and eliminating all of the junky, processed foods from our diets. We drank no coffee, soda, wine or beer. We ate no Halloween candy, cookies, ice cream or chips. We barely ate meat (it’s tough for our bodies to break it down and process, so we ate mostly vegan for the 3 weeks so our system could use all its energy to focus on shedding toxins). 
I know this might sound quite technical, but it’s not. We ate healthy, delicious foods. We ate a plant-based diet. We enjoyed it! 
I’ve been dying to share my results, so here they are (I will share Brian’s later…so stay tuned wink emoticon hehe)
-11.75 inches
-15 pounds



ps--No exercise the entire 3 weeks--just goes to show that you can't out exercise a bad diet is TRUE because before this, I was trying to do that and failing miserably. Once my focus shifted to nutrition= results!
