Ultimate Reset: Day 19

Today is day 19 of my Reset. I'm feeling really good. My portion sizes are still small as I'm not very hungry. I'm drinking a lot of water to help flush out my system. I started my third week at 238.6, I'm now at 233.6. 

When I started the Ultimate Reset my goal was to get down to 235, once that seemed to be attainable I changed my goal to drop a total of 30 pounds. That's a pretty aggressive goal when you aren't working out, but at the same time, I have a LOT to lose to begin with. Right now I'm down a total of 22.8 pounds. I have 3 days left. I'm counting today because it just started. I don't think I'll lose 7.2 pounds in the next three days, but the Reset has really surprised me so who knows, right?

I'm pretty excited for how far things have come. I've got two pair of jeans left that fit, and of those pairs, only one really fits me. A lot of the shirts and tops I bought that used to be tight or didn't fit at all now fit. Luckily I saved a lot of my slacks (Yes B Wong I just said slacks...again) from when I worked in logistics so I have clothing to wear to work haha. I've got a lot of workout gear that I can wear at home. 

I think what the reset has helped me with the most has been portion size and eating on a schedule and only when I'm hungry. I was always pretty good about water consumption and trying to eat healthy. Also the reset really helped me get back on track. I had been at 255 for so long I thought I could never change. I invested in myself and it paid off. I'm excited to get back to working out and see how quickly I can drop some more weight. 

My ultimate goal is to find a weight that makes me happy, where I feel great. I don't want to force my body to be smaller than it should. When I started my awesome little journey on teambeachbody.com I was 263.3 pounds. I set a goal of 135 pounds and to date I've reached 23% of my goal. Realistically, I really started at 290 or so, which means I've reached 36% of my goal. It's amazing to see how far you've come with a little hard work and dedication!
