USANA Reset Program - Made it through phase 1 - Look out Punta Cana, here I come!!!

USANA Reset Program - Made it through phase 1 -  Look out Punta Cana, here I come!!!


I started my 5 day Reset Program on January 7th, it was a Tuesday and in hind sight, I should have started it on a Monday - for whatever reason, it is so much harder to do on a Saturday!  The Reset program is a 5 day plan where you replace all of your regular food intake with 3 Nutrimeal shakes a day (chocolate, vanilla & strawberry), 2 snack/protein bars (chocolate chip, peanut butter & brownie), Usana Health Pack nutritionals, a serving of fruit, a serving of vegetables & at least 2 litres of water.  I have to admit, I did not follow it to a "T", I had coffee with skim milk everyday and the days I was really feeling hungry, I had additional servings of veggies, i.e., salad - lettuce with a bit of balsamic vinegar for flavour.  Days 1 & 2 were the hardest, but as soon as day 3 came along and I started seeing results, it got a lot easier.  Upon the completion of my Reset I had lost 4.8lbs, this made me feel so good as I have been trying to lose weight for a while all to no avail.  This loss has encouraged me to continue (actually I am afraid if I stop or cheat I'll gain all the weight back).    Towards the end of my Reset, I decided to order the products from Usana to continue on.  Looking at everything that I wanted & needed, I decided it would make sense to sign on as an Usana Distributer.  I am currently in the transformation phase, which means 2 meals are replaced with Usana Nutrimeals, I can have one protein bar, 1 low glycemic meal & snacks (fruits & veggies) & things are going great.  So far I have lost almost 11lbs & I feel great.  I have not really been exercising, but I am going to start & I am sure my results will be even better.  In January, we booked a family trip to Punta Cana for April, with this in mind I have set a weight loss goal of -25lbs by March 31st, so far I am on target!
Last week I started my husband on Reset, he has about (40lbs to lose).  He, like me, found the 1st 2 days the hardest.  He lost 7lbs in 5 days!!!  He is now also in the transition phase with me.
