Thanks for checking in to see how I'm doing and my USANA Reset Review Day Three.  Today began with me on the scale.  This morning there is no weight loss to measure, I was exactly the same as yesterday, 195.2.  No matter, I am still happy with what I have been able to achieve so far.  I have my 16 ounces of water first thing and get my day started.

I have now settled in to my routine of having something every two hours although for some reason it gets confusing in the afternoon with the addition of the vegetables.  I don't know why that trips me up!  The slight headache that I've had the past couple of days is gone and hopefully will not return.  

According to the USANA FAQ's, headaches and fatigue are fairly common in many weight loss and exercise programs during the first two or three days due to adjustments in calories, carbohydrates, blood glucose levels, caffeine intake, or simply the nature of making sudden drastic lifestyle changes. If you experience headaches, fatigue, light headedness or extreme hunger, eat an additional serving of fruit or vegetables, or a low-GI meal. For this reason, make sure you check with your Doctor before beginning this or any weight loss program like I did. 

USANA Reset Challenges

Today does come with it's own challenges.  Because it's Saturday and they tend to be less scheduled in my house.  I also love to watch cooking shows on PBS.  Today is not the day to watch Martha Stewart make indoor grilled chicken or Lidia Bastianich on her show Lidia's Italy with the Italian Food you can practically taste through the TV.  I turn off the TV and make better use of my time by walking a mile with a  Walk At Home Video I find on YouTube.  The program does say not to do intense workouts but I think it should be okay.  Heck it may even help on the scale tomorrow!

In the evening I had a slip up.  My children were invited to a last minute sleep over which meant my husband & I were able to have a date night.  We went to a local restaurant  and even though I had vegetables, (grilled artichoke & caesar salad) the artichoke was grilled in butter & garlic and everyone knows why caesar would be a no-no on the program.  Oh well, I'm not going to beat myself up over it.  I'm just going to keep it moving and hope the exercise offset any damage done.  When we get home I have my evening shake and my HealthPak.

USANA Reset Experience

I have to say so far I'm having a good experience on the USANA Reset.  I've proven to myself that I can do this so I've decided to continue and go for the Transformation Stage.  One tip: if you plan to continue, plan ahead with your Order.  All product is shipped out of Salt Lake City Utah.  I should have ordered yesterday so there wouldn't be a day when I'm without product.  Darn It!

I'm hitting the home stretch on the USANA Reset.  Let's see if I can actually achieve more  weight loss :)

My USANA Reset Review continues with Day 2.  After a good first day with the exception of a slight headache, I woke up only slightly optimistic.  After all it couldn't possibly work after just one day.  I got on my Tanita  Scale (which by the way is not nice) and there it was, a 3.2 pound weight loss.  I was floored!!!  I couldn't believe it.  When I started the USANA Reset I was 198.4 and this morning I was 195.2.  I had heard of others having that type of result but experiencing it first hand was amazing.  It gave me the motivation to keep going. And as you can see, I have along way to go!

The day went on as normal and I began to get used to the program making sure that every two hours I was consuming something.  The taste of the shakes is no problem, especially if I was going to get a great result from them.  I am getting bored with only drinking water & could see how a coffee drinker would have a hard time. I still had the slight headache so I finally broke down and took a Tylenol.  After that I was fine. 

For me the biggest challenge with the USANA Reset is even though I'm on the program, I still have a family and part of being a Mom is cooking.  Family dinners are one of most important times of day in my household.  To keep myself from being tempted, I made sure I started dinner while I was eating my afternoon Protein Bar.  I also made a quick batch of humuus & had some raw vegetables.   I nibbled on that since you can have as many as you want.  At dinner I had 1 cup of Edamame which hit the spot.  

I save my Dutch Chocolate Nutrimeal Shake for the last shake of the day.  I enjoy this one while watching TV or reading in the evening.  Works sort of like a treat for a good day. I'm finding on the USANA Reset that it's all about perception. I'm using it as a time to get used to the taste of fresh vegetables and no sugar.  It's not the easiest thing I've ever done but I'm focusing on the rewards.    I took my Supplement Pack and called it a night.  

On to USANA Reset Day Three!
