It's been a little while since I last blogged but here goes. At last we met I was in the midst of a hybrid of P90X/Insanity/P90X2 and a little of Asylum mixed in. I made it through to day 84. I ended it a little early to start a new journey... The Ultimate Reset. For those that don't know about it, it's one of Beachbody's newest programs based on nutrition.
What is The Ultimate Reset? Simply its a 21 day program in three phases designed to improve your energy, digestion, complexion, nutrient absorption, and increased clarity and focus. During the program you will also be nurturing your mind, body and spirit through conscious lifestyle choices and techniques.
The Three Phases
Reclaim
In PHASE 1, you Reclaim your body, balancing its inner chemistry and preparing it for change—much like soap loosens grime.
Release
In PHASE 2, you Release the toxic compounds that are
clogging your cells and stored within your tissues—like a purifying
surge of clear water that flushes away years of impurities.
Restore
In Phase 3, you Restore your metabolism to maximum
efficiency, while fortifying your body with the nutrients, enzymes, and
probiotics it needs to maintain healthy performance in the future.
I started this journey with a friend that wanted to give it a go and asked for motivation and support. So far we are on day 4 and doing great. The adjustment hasn't been bad for me, minimal headaches mainly from being off any pre-workout supplements. I am really enjoying the program thus far and enjoying all the cooking and food prep. The first three days for my friend have been a bit rough. The main problem has been inconsistent diet. I eat fairly clean and that has helped. However if you are use to eating what ever you may adjust way different.
The menu has been fairly easy to prepare, and the food has been flavorful and good. After today there is no more dairy. I have been pleasantly surprised by what I have made so far. At this point I probably will not be buying store bought dressing anymore, or microwave products unless I'm in a real pinch like traveling or something of that nature. I am starting to like to cook and feel I am a better and smarter grocery shopper. All in all it will be worth the journey.
It does take some time and some smart shopping but hey anything worth having takes work. Whats Tony Horton say "Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was your body".
