Phase 2 Release Ultimate Reset Day 8
While I was excited to start this day, the first day of the second Phase on Ultimate Rest by Beachbody, I was most looking forward to the big bowl of fruit I was going to have for breakfast. Unfortunately I had to grab and go because we had an early soccer game and I had to brush my teeth first (talk about some sour fruit).
So far I’m feeling pretty on par with not a lot of aches and pains, a normal amount of energy, and not overly tired. I started taking the Detox today which is another drink and has to be taken three times a day. It isn’t terrible but it isn’t good.
My meals today were pretty good I absolutely LOVE the pinto beans and rice and it will be definitely be one I will be repeating again.
Phase 2 Release Ultimate Reset Day 9-10
I always seem to be getting behind in journaling. My breakfast is leaving me hungry and I’m definitely noticing more hunger pains on this phase. The protein is limited, however I found after watching a video why that is the case. I also learned today that microwaving your food sucks quite a lot of the nutrients out of it so it is suggested not too. However since I have to bring my food to work sometimes that is not an option.
Phase 2 Release Ultimate Reset Day 11-14
The days are just blending into very long trying to get through my day kinda days. The only way to sum up how I feel right now is that sometimes too much of a good thing is well….too much. This week has been very hard. I don’t have “cravings” but I want different food. When others are eating a sub, Oreo’s, pasta, etc. I just want to have the ability to eat it, but I don’t feel a physical craving for the foods. When I say too much is not a good thing what I mean is I’m TIRED of fruit, and I’m TIRED of eating nothing but vegetables. As you go through this phase there are less grains and beans which of course is what I enjoyed. I will be happy if I never see a salad (a healthy one) the rest of my life. Many nights I’m eating steamed veggies and some other veggies cooked with an olive oil (to get in the fat).
This last day my lower back has ached most of the day, more so when I’m sitting. Not sure what that is all about. While I’m very thankful to be on my final and last phase I am counting the days until I’m done. I’ve definitely lost some weight, in fact someone at worked noticed, so that is great. I will say that I think some of it is just a lack of eating enough. I get to a point where I just can’t eat anymore not because of fullness but I just can’t stomach the food.
Energy wise I’m about normal neither full of energy or tired. I seem to sleep “ok”. I think when I sleep it is deeper but I still wake up occasionally. Next week I will have my full results for you weight lost, inches lost, and my overall impression of the plan and if I would do it again.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I’m glad it’s working but you sound so miserable. 🙁
Colleen says
That is how the week has been, it is really tough and I want to be honest. I didn’t see one review that said how hard it was going to be. I can not WAIT until I’m done.
Toni says
I hope this next week is better for you!!!
Crystal @ Simply Being Mommy says
I agree with Liz, you sound miserable. I hope it gets better!
Colleen says
It really has given me an appreciation for food. I think when I’m done I will be much more conscious of what I decide to eat and how much.
Jenn @TheRebelChick says
Same as above. You sound miserable, but, it sounds like it’s working? Good Luck!
Colleen says
Yes I would say it is, not at the levels I thought but I do feel clearer, like I can think better. I have an appreciation for how to cook food better. And I definitely have kick started my weight loss.
Anne - Mommy Has to Work says
I doesn’t sound fun….I hope the next phase is better for you!
Colleen says
I wish I could say it will be but looking at the menus I don’t think so but after today only 5 days left!!!
Becca @ Mama B says
AW 🙁 I hope it gets better/easier for you!
Nichol says
Ugh I’m sorry your hurting and the food does sound like it would get blah – veggies all the time yuck. I do want to read your results though to see everything summed up.
Christine M says
I’m glad you only have 5 more days left because this sounds just awful. Thank you so much for being completely honest about this diet.
Michelle F. says
Good for you for sticking it out.
Marcie W. says
You do sound like you’re truckin’ on but nothing worth it is ever easy! Good for you for hanging in there and not giving up!
Kelly says
I hope the time flies by and you can end this phase. How long is the program?
