Before I begin, I need to just let folks know that I'm going to have to start unfriending folks on Facebook. You all KNOW I'm restricting the foods I eat during the Ultimate Reset, but you insist on posting photos of things like Crock Pot Parmesan Honey Pork Roast, Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas, and Dorito Chicken and Cheese Casserole (that last one was posted deliberately to undermine my success, I know it). Uncool, people. Uncool.
Still, I am sticking to my challenge and not feeling too deprived. I'm in kind of a rhythm now and my body is enjoying the light feeling of not being full nonstop throughout the day. I no longer go into panic mode at the slightest tummy rumble. Apparently I used to think I was living in feast or famine times and had to have a constant supply of food lest I whither away in the dead of winter never to see another spring. Now, I don't mind feeling a little hungry off and on throughout the day. But what's weird is that despite the lack of constant food, I have not heard or felt my stomach growl once on this challenge. I have had more than enough to eat while taking in significantly fewer calories.
The real motivator came when I randomly decided to measure my thighs. 21 23/4 inches. That's less than 22 inches. That's smaller than my thighs have been in dang near forever. I am literally shrinking, making me literally happy.
My reward for my progress and stick-to-it-tiveness is a special Tiramisu Shakeology. Probably not completely in line with my UR menu, but this new vanilla flavor gives me so many recipe options for my healthiest meal of the day that I just had to have it twice today. I had an Orange Julius Shake-O this morning and Tiramisu Shake-O to end my day. Perfection.
I am four days in and feeling good, not craving Doritos or beer or pasta. Well, at least not until I see the photos on my FB newsfeed. It seems to be a psychological craving. So I'm going to have to psychologically unfriend half of these people. Or perhaps I will just counter every post of Dorito Chicken and Cheese Casserole with my own post of vanilla Shake-O and my Ultimate Reset. That'll learn em.
Want to feel this good? Join me for an Ultimate Reset challenge group on Facebook starting next week. https://www.facebook.com/SunShineStrongNow We'll have fun, I promise.
