Ultimate Reset - Day 9 - Keep on Keepin On!


Day 9! I can’t believe I’ve gotten here but I’m definitely not turning back! I’ve even gotten so much motivation from people I work with as well as friends and family who thought I was nuts when I started.  Down 8 lbs, feeling awesome, cravings, buh byeJ

Lets set the stage – Im a 5-6 Diet Coke a week drinker, 1-2 servings of hot tea, minimal water.  I know, being that Im so excited and motivated about health and fitness, I should know better! Shame on me! However, Im not perfect.  I’m learning each day things that I can do to improve myself, my life and to be better. Step 1) Hydrate.  I’m one of the people that have been stuck in a dehydrated state.  I’ve read some figure that its about 75% of Americans that are, some other thing saying that’s an over exaggeration – I’ll tell you this: I’ve not felt this great in years and I know its because of my water intake. I feel “cleaner” inside and I don’t feel ike I need to grab a soda because I’m thirsty. I feel satisfied. Not so full I can’t breathe, not gross, not swimming in too much water, simply and easily satisfied. Thank you H2oJ



Not working out – its been hard. But I do think my body is appreciating the rest. I think I needed it. Being so high energy all of the time has really, I’m sure, done a number on my body and I needed a break.  I hope to make sure that I am better about listening to my body because this exactly what it needed and I ignored this for years.



Finally, detox.  This is week 2. Im detoxing and everyone’s always afraid of being a bathroom runner lol.  No no, that’s not the case. Its very gradual, lets say and I don’t feel like I’m not in control.  The word detox is misleading to some. You are removing toxins – it can happen gradually which is what appears to be the case for most people. So I give this week, a thumbs up!



Any questions, concerns, support? I welcome it!! - Jess

Ongoing Lessons in Life and BALANCE

Hi My name is Jessica and I’m admittedly diagnosed with  ADHD. Watching my feed it’s like, “right. was there a question? You randomly dress in tutus”  However, I’ve always been more than functional with this, but sometimes, or rather for me, one time, it got to be more than I could bear. It takes a transition to get you to re-think and reassess how you approach things and how you react to changes and issues that come about. This is the longest post ever but here we go... The Background  I’m a middle child.    Middle child syndrome set in long ago and I’m definitely a people pleaser, mediator if you will. I love it and sometimes hate it.    I want to be mediated on once in a while! Can someone sorta let me just BE there and NOT be involved in the resolution? The answer is usually no.   Pressing on, I got married a little young, 23 to be exact and proceeded into full Stepmom (two amazing kiddos), wife, worker, grad student, gym go...

Divorce diaries

 this will be a shorter sort of rambling entry. It all matters. With my ex and I called it off, I put up a huge wall and that wall translated into every part of the life I have with my daughter. As much as I thought it didn't matter, kindergarten has been kicking my ass. You read that right my ass. All of it. And I have a big one. And why? Because of that damn wall. We weren't talking. So House on the right didn't know what house on the left was dealing with. It was pretty much awful. But I have seen though is my daughter be someone I didn't know she was, and show me that she's 100 times smarter and more clever than I ever gave her a little clever but credit for. So the diary of a divorcee  starts here…this is the lesson. They're smarter than us. So you got to talk. Kindergarten is getting a little better, actually a lot better. Who the heck learns Mandarin and Spanish , before they get there for teeth? And oh gosh the front teeth. That's another entry 😜… B...

day one...ick

so basically, im a little dissappointed..but ill get to that... i have reached a BLAH state with my workouts and yo-yo weight issues so i decided to try Jay Johnson's bootcamp. I thought, hey, it works for cheerleaders, surely I can hang! I was so nervous!! I went out...spent $225 on the camp and ended up buying new workout clothes and shoes and sweats (geez, you cant just roll into valley ranch looking like trash right?!?!?) and i was ready this morning..queeziness and all...530am..i got there at 520a (10 push ups if you are late!!) and you know what???? it was cancelled! more specifically, no one showed! so im still pretty ticked about it!! i actually am actively trying to reach the caloric goals for each day, so i packed my 4-5 mini meals and im doing ok..i ended up doing some workout at the gym and i ran and such outside with some veterans of the camp before dissapointedly departing the location... lets just say that im overly ready for wednesday and i hope i dont have to get a...
