Week 3 of the Ultimate Reset is in the books. This is the 3rd time I have completed this program and this was by FAR the easiest time. I learned how to take shortcuts in meal prepping where needed (Trader Joes you save me time and time again). I am down a little over 10 lbs and a LOT of inches. I feel so much more in control that I was 3 weeks ago. My eating habits were all over the place. I am a true sugar addict. I cannot have even a little bit or I just go off the rails. So for now, there will be none for me. Not until I can figure out how to stop at just a little bit. Maybe I will never be in that place, but I do know that they way I feel today as compared with 3 weeks ago it should be a no brainer. You never really know how bad you feel until you actually start feeling good again. I decided to stick with the Ultimate Reset eating plan for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t go as far to call myself a vegan for life, but I can be one for now.
I also started physical therapy this week, and my therapist kicks ass. I knew instantly that I would get along with him (do you guys get vibes like that? Where you just know whether or not you will click with someone? Mine are usually spot on). I know that he is going to push me to get my butt back in gear. It felt so good to MOVE again. Working out is not just a physical release for me, it is just as much (if not more) mental. It has been hard not having that as a stress release. Just ask my family. I am SURE my husband thinks I have been a total psycho-beast the past month or so (or 11 years but who is counting). With any luck, I should be able to start running (a little bit) in the next week or so. First thing is first though. I need to get this boot off! My ortho appointment is tomorrow so wish me luck! It is starting to get hot and this boot smells horrible. Plus, I really want to be able to go to the beach! For now, I am focusing on the at home exercises he assigned me so that I can begin to strengthen and stabilize my ankle.
