When life gets crazy, it's so easy to let go of the one thing that can make the most positive difference in our lives...our self care! Am I right?!? The first thing we always cut from our busy schedules is what makes us healthy and happy. We give up our exercise. We give up our meal planning. We give up our food prep. We feel that we need to put everyone else first, and worry about ourselves later.
We start off strong. We've got this. Then, a week or two goes by and we start to lose our focus. We get tired. We get stressed out. We lack patience and get frustrated easily. You see, by abandoning ourselves, we are really hurting everyone else around us in the long run.
I don't know about you, but it is important to me to find my happy. I want to have energy, be positive and live my life in the present. I want to be able to enjoy the little moments with my kids. I want to be healthy for them. I want them to grow up knowing that they are worth taking care of themselves as well.
As many of you are aware, I had ACL reconstruction this summer. I have been struggling to get back on track ever since. I really struggle to stay on track with my nutrition once I start to slip. Add to that, the fact that I cannot follow a strict workout program yet, and I have just lost so much of the progress that I have made over the past couple of years. This is such an emotional struggle for me. I'm sad, angry and very frustrated that I'm almost right back where I started on my health and fitness journey. I'm ready to find my healthy and find my happy again. I need to for myself, my husband, my children, and my students. I have so much more to offer the world when I feel better about me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds great, right?!? I think so too...so I have something VERY special planned and I want to share it with anyone who wants to join me.
I will be participating in an At Home Wellness Retreat. I mean, sure it would be amazing to go away to a 3 week retreat where we learn inner peace - but who has time or money for that? And who would watch my kids and teach my classes for 3 whole weeks?!? :)
Summer is HARD you guys. Summer drinks, family get-togethers, trips....all of that can really make staying on track all of the time a bit harder. Add to that, a surgery that keeps you unable to move around much, and I need to get centered again. I need a time where I can go "ALL IN" with my nutrition. I need to get that happy and healthy back.
With school starting and schedules getting crazy again, I have also struggled with finding ways to cope with the stressors of my everyday life. I need to find healthier coping methods for what life throws my way.
How is this all going to work?
Before I explain more, I would like to share a bit about the experience that my coach had while doing the Ultimate Reset last year.
"I had a torn meniscus and was very anxious because I couldn't work out like I wanted. I was letting my emotions and anxiety get the best of me and I needed to do something that would help me reset and cleanse my body and mind. So I took the plunge and I committed to doing the Ultimate Reset. Not only were my physical results AMAZING....but I can promise you that I've never felt better - both physically AND mentally in my entire life." -Krysta Meyer, Star Diamond Beachbody Coach
When you feed your body ONLY what is good for it, it's amazing what can happen.
Seriously, look at that change in just 21 days.
And she ate more food during this 21 days than she normally does. So there is absolutely no starvation involved in the Ultimate Reset.
This program is literally life-changing. So what is it exactly?
The Ultimate Reset is a 21-day program that gently helps to restore the body to it's "factory setttings" while maximizing energy production and nutrient retention. This is a program designed to get the body into tip-top shape interally, just like your fitness program gets the body into shape externally. Anyone looking to restore their energy, boost their moods, and maximize their help can significantly improve the way they look and feel.
The first week of the Ultimate Reset is Phase One where you'll reclaim your body, accessing its inner chemistry and preparing it for change. You'll gradually be removing foods from your diet like red meat and dairy. Then you'll move on to week 2 or Phase 2 where you begin to release some unwanted compounds that have been holding your system back and you will start the detox process. This phase includes a very gentle colon cleanse and digestive support. And when I say gentle - I mean it. You won't be running to the bathroom a lot or anything :) It's seriously a gentle cleanse where you'll be eating 3 meals a day and snacks. But you'll be moving to eating a fully vegan diet. Week 3 begins Phase 3 where you'll help restore your digestive system along with other internal processes to maximize efficiency. You'll be putting nutrients, enzymes, and pre- and probiotics back into your body. This is the point where you're going to feel better than you have in your entire life and will start to tell everyone you know that they should do this too!
So that's the nutrition part of this wellness retreat.
One major aspect of this retreat is also learning practices to relax our body and mind all while staying active.
So I'm very excited to annouce our brand new 3 Week Yoga Retreat. It's for beginners and for people who have no idea what they are doing with yoga (ME). It's all going to be streamed online using our Beachbody On Demand. Week one will focus on straightforward yoga basics. The focus will be on basic positions and alignment...poses led by yogis who specialize in many different types of yoga. Week two will progress into some flow but will not be overly complicated or aggressive. Then Week 3 puts it all together and will challenge us more. We will be the first group to do this together and I'm so excited about it. Since there is no working out on the Ultimate Reset (yes, even me!) this is the only thing that you are cleared to do. Why? Beacuse you don't want to be releasing lactic acid that could interfere with the detox process and the hard work that your body is going through interally. As I always tell my challengers - TRUST.THE.PROCESS. The people who designed this system are incredible and knew what they were doing.

Let's do this thing. And let's do it together.
We start on September 26th. For 3 weeks we will do this all together in a closed/private Facebook group and I'll be supporting you through the entire thing and we will be holding each other accountable. There will be coaches in the group that have done the Ultimate Reset in the past and they will feel comfortable answering questions about it too since they've had the personal experience.
