The Ultimate Reset- Week 1

The Ultimate Reset

My Husband decided he was going to finally give the Ultimate Reset a shot!!
You can’t even understand how EXCITED I am that he made this decision!!!

He wasn't happy with who he was so he has made a choice to change!!

I personally cannot fully do the program right now because I am almost 9 months pregnant. However I decided to keep to the meal plan and modify where needed. 

I can not take any of the supplements either, so I am just sticking to the meal plan, adding in some additional foods since I  need to for my calorie intake (due to the baby, as well as for my workouts). 

I was so excited because he really does need it! And please don't take that the wrong way! I'm not speaking physical right now- I'm talking HEALTH!!  He has had so many health issues this past year I thought it was essential for him to give this a shot!

So the game planning began!  

I decided to create this chart to make it oober easy for him! 
All he has to do is copy and paste his meal options into the open blocks and his lovely, wife.. ME... will go grocery shopping and do all the cooking!!

Because he is more of a plain Pete he decided to stick to the more simpler meals throughout the entire week and phase 1. 

You can repeat your meals, for example he decided to have the eggs and toast and spinach all week, since he isn't a huge fan of plain oatmeal or the other options.  He also stuck to the vegan shakeology for all his snacks, while I explored the other options.  hehe

Sorry, but not sorry.. I LOVE FOOD !

So repetition it was and I am sure will continue to be as we move through the next two phases!

The rest of the week we tried out a couple different options for lunch/snacks and dinner and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this food was!!

This was our breakfast for the majority of the week.. My hubby isn't a huge OATMEAL guy.... However we did enjoy the fruit salad as well!

This was our Lunch most days... Salad and Grilled Chicken..

This was part of our dinner on Day 1. These Beets and Sweet Potatoes were PHENOM!

The rest of the week we tried out a couple different options for lunch/snacks and dinner and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this food was!!  

One of my favorite snacks aside from my shakeology.... APPLES AND NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER!

Vegan Tropical Strawberry Shakeology

This was one of our favorite meals actually... Baked Basil and garlic salmon with lemon juice, asparagus and potatoes.  

I am not a huge potato person... so I could have skipped them no big deal.. but we are trying to stick to the plan ! 

I thought I would seriously miss the meat on this one for sure.... I mean really a taco without the meat?! 

I actually didn't though! It was pleasantly delightful and I was majorly full I couldn't finish it!

My Husband over the course of the first 3 days... and yes I MEAN ONLY 3 DAYS... lost 10 lbs!!! 

Now he is a bigger guy, 6'2 and is very broad, so please don't compare your progress to his- but know that when you eat the right foods and truly do what is best for it... YOU WILL REAP THE AMAZING REWARDS!!!

 I am so proud of him!  I know the first three days were really rough for him as well. And honestly I think it depends where your starting from.  He was a total sugar addict!  And he gave it up cold turkey... so personally I believe weaning yourself of sugar and coffee prior to the reset may be your better option!!! 

He did have a headache and felt tired. But did begin to however regain energy and the headache went away after day 3.  

GAME ON BABY! we are heading into week two soon---

HERE WE GO........ Let the meal planning begin for ULTIMATE RESET PHASE 2
