One full week

So 7 days after starting with Usana Products, 5 days of the RESET and a couple in the transform stage, I lost 5 pounds.

The miracle.... I opened up a can of Diet Dr Pepper... MY FAVORITE soda... and it tasted like cough syrup. I was a little dis appointed and then I realized how FREEING it is to not be captive to my caffeine cravings- it liberates me to drink more water- and enjoy it more- knowing the other stuff tastes worse. lol Kinda silly, but its wonderful! 

My goal is to loose 16 pounds in time for our Christmas cruise... Oh yea- My wonderful friend Kristal helped my family book a 5 night cruise leaving on Dec 27th! We are super excited! It will be Jason and I, my brother Nathan and his wife Heather, and My mom and dad!

So, 5 pounds down, 11 pounds and 6 weeks to go.  I can do it! With no soda cravings, no cravings for sweets... this will be a breeze! :) I'll keep you posted!

Day 4

Yesterday, I still had cravings. I wanted Doritos, and a baby ruth like no body's business.
Today, So far so good! I even went to the grocery store- I caught myself looking at the chips and thinking my mouth should start watering- but I realized that was out of habit not out of desire. I don't really want Doritos, my body is just so use to wanting them... old habits die hard!

I've decided to do the Transform stage after the reset. During the transform stage you substitute two of your meals with shakes, and two of your snacks with bars. You still take the vitamins and you eat a healthy (low glycemic low carb) meal with an optional 3rd snack. Continue with the moderate exercise (walking the dogs) and I am on my way to being 15 pounds lighter by CHRISTMAS!
I'm super excited!

Day 2

I'm half way through day two and it is going better than the last half of day one...

Around 6- all I wanted was a diet dr pepper or a big coffee. I had the good old caffine headache. So I put a half a scoop of instant coffee in my chocolate shake this morning... yummy!

I have been cleaning all morning. (the little annoying stuff- ie base boards and my make up stand)

I feel like I have tons of energy (thanks to Usana vitamins) My face is super soft and moisturized (thanks to Usana skin care line Sense)

I'm not going to lie... I've been craving FOOD- popcorn, candy, chips, in n out, you know crappy food. So far- I have stayed strong and denied my temptations. 

So... so far so good! :)

Usana

New adventure
New Business
New Healthy lifestyle...

I am Starting a RESET (5 days to "reset" my system- supposedly I won't crave sugar anymore) Anyone who knows me... knows I LOVE sugar. Anything sweet skittles, red vines, sour straws, nerds, you name it I love candy and anything that might enable my mouth to form more cavities. So I wanted to document my endeavor
Starting tomorrow morning I will be on a strict regimen of vitamins, nutrients, Usana shakes and Usana snack bars. (no soda, no coffee, no sweets)
I will use our blog to document my progress and my inevitable caffeine headache that will ensue by Sunday evening... :) Wish me luck!
