Day 3

So, I started the ultimate reset! First of all, the ingredient list was cray--I was walking thru whole foods literally for like an hour looking for all the things I needed. Thinking "where are the lentils?! Wtf does is look like. What the hell is tempeh? Who eats this stuff regularly?!" Hahah. Luckily, it is just down the street cuz I always forgot something!

On my first day, I was soo miserable. I went to work..craving coffee& with an annoying headache the whole shift. I was a grumpy, super sleepy nurse!! I also felt a little dazed, weird! I thought to myself like "wtf? This sucks!" But I read if you are a regular coffee drinker, that its normal. So I went to sleep and woke up still with a headache, grr. The food is good--pretty much nothing processed..all whole foods. And did I say no red meat?! The night before i started me and mike made some super fatty steaks &indulged on wine!! Thank goodness for Mike..he's super supportive and cheers me on! Haha.

So today I woke up soo much better. Energized, not sluggish. Not craving coffee. Having good bowel movements, lol! I'm never hungry..& to top it off, I lost 4lbs already. Yay! A lot must be water weight cuz I'm feeling a lot less bloated. But this is good cuz I was in the gym and doing my kickboxing videos since I came back from PI with super little progress. I guess it really is "80%diet 20%exercise" blablabla whatever it is. Haha. You can't really do vigorous exercising, so just been walking Koko girl twice a day for now.

Anyways, hope I can stick to it! I know I usually give up quickly on things (sadly) but hopefully not! My landlords mother passed away & his siblings want to sell the house...so if they decide to sell, we are gonna have to move again! Wahh! Praying we won't have to (totally dread it and hard to find pet friendly rentals)..& wishing I can just buy my own beautiful house! It's ok ...all in God's timing..yes! K going for a massage..until next time!:)

Before and After

A few changes in the past weeks.

1) had a root canal on one of my teeth a long time ago. Ever since they put a crown on it, I always pocketed food there. My old Filipino dentists tried to fix it three times! So, my new dentist kept telling me to get it fixed...& once I finally decided to fork up the 1000+ to do it (dental insurance sucks ass here)...my tooth underneath was decayed!!! Omg so disgusting....i was so close to losing my tooth! Finally had an all porcelain crown placed on it today and had it all cleaned up...& I'm sooo super happy. No more food stuck, no more gray tooth, all SMILES!

2) Finally cut my long ass mop hair & had it lightened..subtle ombré. Hallelujah been wanting to cut it since I was in the PI. But as always, miss my long hair after its cut but its all good:)

3) Weight loss picture to be announced. Puahahah, I wish!!!!! No lies, I need to drop at least 10lbs..giving myself 3 months to do this. Since Ive gained a few lbs, my periods have been super irregular, get constipated easily, super hard to lose weight,and just feel just blah! Going to restart by doing the Ultimate Reset..have a lot of friends/acquaintances who have had good results (lose a few lbs, lower BP, improved energy) after doing it, so hopefully I can start from there! I've been wanting to do a good detox but honestly never wanted to pay for it, lol! Gotta start somewhere I guess...let u guys know how it goes!

Anyways, hope everyone is doing good! love you guys!
