21 DAY ULTIMATE RESET RESULTS-2 X ELITE COACH DEIDRA PENROSE

21 DAY ULTIMATE RESET RESULTS

So I'm not gonna lie, I am SOOOO glad this Ultimate Reset is OVER!! I am not meant to be vegan.. I want my chicken and eggs back!! But I am SOOO glad I did it! I did this 2 years ago and lost 11 pounds, but also did't have as much weight to lose.. After my Figure Competition, I had some major issues with my weight and retaining water and cramping constantly.  

I went to the Ultimate reset because nothing else was helping me... Dr. Appt and the Doctor just saying, "your borderline obese"... "well your almost 30 and as you get older, you hold on to weight more..." UMMM or if you would have seen my 4 weeks ago I had an 8 pack and competed in a figure competition! GAH!  So after getting told that and getting a prescription for Lasix (a diuretic for Congestive Heart Failure Patients and more), I decided to go on my own for help!

Thank goodness I listen to my own body and never picked up that prescription! As I took a leap of faith with the Ultimate Reset, it was EXACTLY what I needed to get back to my normal self.. Not competing weight and body, but my NORMAL weight and body!!

DAY 1 was difficult... SLEEPY, CRANKY, and UNSURE of what to expect!

Eggs, Kale and pin nuts, and 1 slice Ezekiel toast! YUMMO!!

I did pretty darn amazing my first week!! Food was amazing, since I could still have eggs and chicken and salmon! ;) 

Oh, now I remember what I almost couldn't handle about this Reset--> the Alkalinize! Lol! Fortunately, I got used to it by the 2nd day! :) Not bad when you are eating for nutrients, not focused on the taste!

Week 2 Breakfast- never thought of mixing this together, but it was amazing! Oatmeal, Greek yogurt, fresh Blackberries and drizzle pure maple syrup on top! 

Week 2 Meal prep!

Fruit plates, Pinto Beans and rice, Salads, and zucchini ..... Lots of food! trust me, you eat during this Program! NO starvation!!

CLICK HERE for recipe Tomato & Cucumber Salad!

This dinner was so filling!! Quinoa, stir-fry veggies, and Cucumber & Tomato Salad!

This was by far my FAVORITE lunch! I will be definitely using this more! 

Oh yea, hey Week 2, I have to drink this 3 times a day? Kinda looks like sewer water... thank goodness The  Fiber Sweep tasted like lemon! Wasn't bad at all!

 Now I have this quote here because I had slight issues.. I ended up totally binging one night.. I let my emotions get the best of me :( 

On another note, I didn't gain everything back! I did gain 5 lbs but lost it quickly I was very bloated... I am telling you this because I have to be real and honest or Im not being honest with myself... No one said this was going to be easy, but if you fall off, DONT QUIT.. Get right back on track and continue moving forward!! I wanted to give up so many times, but I knew I wanted to get back to my happy place... feeling confident again.  As a fitness coach, we do focus on our image.. its our career so we must be the best version of ourselves as possible!

OK I did have this fresh fruit plate for week 2 and 3... EVERY DAY!! Im kinda over fruit for now! Not going to lie!! 

Love my Salads! So I always did cucumber and tomato and some days I added Avocado and Pumpkin Seeds! Of course with the Home made Greek Dressing!

Snack- Fresh Veggies n Hummus!

My dinner for the last 7 days of my Reset- Not bad but I need a change!

Im pretty proud of myself, the last week I came back strong! ok I did cheat and have a piece of chicken... and Shakeology.. Seriously, Im not meant to be Vegan I swear!! LOL!! But, on a good note, they were healthy cheats!! Now I know I wont gain the weight right back because I ate foods I normally eat! Ok.. so Day 21....

21 DAY ULTIMATE RESET- WEEK 1

OK, if you have been following my blog, you will know I have been following the 21 DAY FIX EXTREME, but have been having some issues with water retention, weight gain, and joint pain despite my clean eating and exercise.. I have followed the 21 Day Fix Extreme before and had amazing results. So when I am saying I stopped it again... its not because I go back and forth too much, but I NEED to figure out whats going on with my body! As I lost my 5 pounds with the 3 DAY REFRESH , I was under the assumption that I was back on the road to success... I maintained the weight off, then had 1 cheat meal.. seriously, the weight came back and then more! :( Since, I was not able to eat clean, exercise and get it down again.

Im sure many people are thinking she's crazy, or she's cheating and not saying it.. no seriously, I am completely honest and have been about my binge eating and emotional eating.. I am proud to say I have gotten myself back to a good place that food is no longer first in my life.. it hasn't been my drug.  As I got away from competing for now, it has improved significantly!   But there is STILL something going on.  Im excited to share with you my next part of my journey I took.

Last week, I was doing the 21 DAY FIX EXTREME still and wondering what I can do to totally trick my body.. Obviously what I'm doing isn't enough.  So I knew the 3 DAY REFRESH helped, but what about the 21 DAY ULTIMATE RESET?? Its a detox to remove all the toxins and crap in my body and its hard core... I did it 2 years ago when I was trying to lose the last 10 pounds.. I ended up losing 11! So maybe this can help "fix" whats going on.  Obviously if something works and then I stop doing it and gain the weight back, I'm going to see an Endocrinologist.  But for now, I want to do what I can on my own since my last doctor appointment didn't turn out well.

So here we are, week 1 of the ULTIMATE RESET! 

I did my meal prepping and grocery shopping! It was pretty exciting that I had a lot of the ingredients that are more costly because I already use them! 
Coconut  oil, Braggs Liquid Amino, sesame Oil, EVOO, little things like that made a huge difference for my grocery bill!!

Here is my Meal plan for the first week:

Along with my meal plan of course comes with my lovely grocery list!!

So that was the hardest part! Since I am eating a lot of the same foods, it was honestly easy to get prepared!! I am doing my salads right before I eat them, but otherwise, everything else is pretty much prepped ahead of time!

Getting prepped for the big week!!

Tell me this Quinoa salad does't look amazing?!

My stir-fry veggies

My asparagus baked with EVOO and Himalayan salt!

My Home made Greek Dressing from the Reset recipe book

My grilled chicken plain and salmon with a lot of fresh parsley :) 

Time to get pumped up for the next 21 days!!

DAY 1!! Mixing mineralize in with my water and chugging! 

ok, this is my hardest part... drinking the Alkinalize!! Kamut grass, alfalfa, wheat grass,  and barley grass... doesnt sound good either lol.. but its totally tolerable... if you chug water after!

My first breakfast.. pretty darn amazing if you ask me!! :) 

I survived day 1!!! YAY!! 

I did have a killer headache when I woke up the 2nd day, but I will say it was most likely because Im so use to drinking 3 servings of my E&E (my pre workout formula).. I totally drink way more than I should.. on a good note, its the only caffeine intake I get and more natural ingredients than any other energy drink!! 

Dinner!!! Seriously, I chewed like 15 times before swallowing haha.. I'm a little cray cray.. but it is helping me  so much!!

 Seriously, I had to step on that scale 3 times to see if something was wrong with it!  As I have been sharing my issues with retaining water and fluid and nothing is working.... well SOMETHING is NOW working!! On day 2 (mind you this is NOT normal for the average person to lose on this regimen), I got rid of 10 lbs... I feel a lot less bloated but I can see my definition again! I knew it was there somewhere lol!!! My abs are back for sure!!! YAYYY!!!  There is something about just feeling tone and good!! Im seriously SO glad I did this program!! I know today Im only on day 4, but it has been absolutely amazing!!!!

So far, this is by far my FAVORITE meal yet!! They have all been great, but this was awesome and its filling too!! I actually had to force it all down!! Not normal for me lol!!

So this has been my week so far!! 

Exercise wise, I did do my Plyo 21 DAY FIX EXTREME and then Tuesday and Wednesday, I did yoga.  I will be doing yoga and pilates from the 21 Day Fix Extreme during this time since you are not suppose to put a lot of stress on your body.  

Cannot wait to share with you at the end of the week on my first week results!! :) Stay tuned!!
