I want to start by saying I have debated SO many times on if I actually wanted to share these images or not as I am still so far from where I want to be, but I realized that by sharing them I may help someone else who is struggling to feel good in their own body (especially other mama’s that are in the thick of having babies). It’s so easy to compare yourself to others, but just remember that we all have a different story! So while I realllllyyy feel uncomfortable sharing these, I really hope they can help someone!

Alright, now let’s get into it……….

Heading into the new year, I knew I needed to do something to regain control of my physical/mental health. Over the last 4 years I have welcomed two beautiful (yet feral) little boys into this world, and while I have been great at making sure they live a healthy-well balanced life, I have let my own health slip through the cracks. I decided that 2025 was going to be the year I reclaimed my health again. The year I took care of BOTH myself and my family. Insert the 14 Day Reset, and I am now down 5 lbs and feeling more ready than ever to continue tackling my goals in the New Year!

What is the 14 day Reset?

The 14 day reset is a challenge that consists of:

~ Moving your body every day
~ Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water
~ Eating clean
~ Drinking Ningxia Red (make sure to use code ‘SHAREYL’ for 10% off)

Moving your body:

There are SO many different ways you can move your body, but the movement that I chose to do everyday during this reset was a modified version of the 12-3-30 treadmill workout. What is the 12-3-30? It’s simply setting your treadmill at a 12% incline (easier said than done, so I started at 8% and worked up to 10%), at a 3mph speed, for 30 minutes. This workout is effective, yet ATTAINABLE. As a busy mom of two and someone who hasn’t worked out in years, I wasn’t ready to jump into any big workout programs or commit to going to the gym every day. So when I found this treadmill workout, I knew I wanted to start implementing it.

If you want to step this workout up a notch, add a weighted vest in! They recommend choosing one that is around 10% of your body weight. It’s a bit of a challenge right away, but again.. it’s an effective, yet attainable option! I definitely could tell I was working my core way more once adding this in. I think that was a huge part in losing so much in my waist during this reset.

Even now that my 14 day reset is over, I plan on continuing to do this walk as much as I can!

Hydration:

Hydration is absolute key to not only weight loss, but every day wellness in general. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water may seem impossible, but I promise it’s not! Grab yourself one of these 40oz Brumate Era cups and you will be surprised how easy it is to stay on track. I bring mine with me EVERYWHERE I go. It fits perfectly into your cupholder, but my favorite feature is that it is completely leak proof!

Another hack I love for making sure I get in all my water, is flavoring it with FlavCity Electrolytes. They taste delicious, yet don’t have any of the added sugar and junk that a lot of regular sport drinks do! (Tip: mix the powder with a little hot water to avoid clumping!)

Fueling your body:

Making sure that you are eating a healthy and well balanced diet is so important. Something I have been trying to implement lately is eating at least 100g protein/day. Do your own research on how much protein you think is right for your body. This is just something I personally feel like has been huge in keeping me full longer, curbing my cravings, and building muscle! A key part in getting that much protein in everyday has been drinking my FlavCity Protein Shakes. I have one every time I am done with my 12-3-30 walk, and sometimes will even use it as a meal replacement when I’m busy or on the go (hello mom life). Each serving has 25g of protein and seriously tastes like dessert. Vanilla Cream is a fan favorite in our household. We literally crave it! My husband and I like to mix ours with almond milk, but you can use any type of milk or even water! It is by far THE best (& healthiest) protein powder we have ever had.

Some other key things I focus on are limiting seed oils and sugar! If you are looking for an easy place to shop for healthy snacks/pantry staples, I highly recommend Thrive Market. You can filter it by diet/ingredients, making for easy shopping. Some of our top picks for both us and the kids are Chomp Beef Sticks, Solely Fruit Gummies/Sticks, Primal Kitchen Condiments (the yum yum sauce is a MUST), Once Upon a Farm snacks, Seven Sundays Cereal (my husband likes to use his FlavCity protein shake as his milk for this!), Skout Bars, and Thrive Market Collagen (I add this to my wellness bevy everyday). My link will actually get you 40% off your first order!

An example of what I ate in a day for this reset:

Breakfast - 3 eggs with bell peppers, spinach, a pinch of cheese, 1/2 an avocado, and a drizzle of taco sauce with 3 chicken sausages (we love the “Jones” brand from Costco as there are no added sugars).

Lunch - A caesar salad with a grilled chicken breast and 2 hard boiled eggs.

Supper - This really varied day to day. Some sort of protein (Chicken or Steak is pretty common in our house), a healthy side like rice or sweet potatoes), and a vegetable.

Snack - I noticed that I snacked WAY less while on this reset. I felt so full all the time, which I’m sure was thanks to making sure I got in enough protein and water. If I did snack, I would have a Chomp’s beef stick, string cheese, or some of my homemade protein balls (hoping to share the recipe in a blog post soon).

And then after my workout I like to have my FlavCity protein shake to make sure I get my protein in for the day!

Drinking Ningxia Red:

What is Ningxia Red? Ningxia Red is a whole food supplement that is clinically shown to increase physical energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce daily stress significantly to improve mental well-being. It is also known to provide energy support, support whole-body health and wellness, help prevent oxidative stress, support normal eye health, and support healthy digestion. I have been drinking this supplement on and off for years, but can ALWAYS tell when I am consistent with it. The biggest things I personally notice are my mental clarity, less cravings, energy, and regularity in my bowl movements (if you know me, you know this is a big deal 😅).

During this 14 day reset you drink 12 ounces/day for the first 3 days, and 6 ounces/day for the remaining 9 days. Ningxia Red tastes AMAZING on it’s own (my 4 year old literally robs my packets because he’s obsessed lol), but I love to make mine into a little wellness bevy! The only thing in this drink necessary for the reset is the Ningxia Red, but the rest of it has so many added benefits!

My Wellness Bevy Recipe:

- Ningxia Red (I do the instructed 6-12 ounces during the reset, but 4 ounces on a regular basis)

- Sulfurzyme (google “benefits of sulfur” and you will see why I use this! Amazing for nails/skin/hair/joints, as well as many other things!)

- Ningxia Greens (with 2–3 servings of fruits and vegetables in every scoop, it supports a healthy immune system, digestive health, and energy)

- FlavCity Electrolytes (Strawberry Limeade is my favorite!)

-Thrive Market Collagen Peptides (love that it’s great for hair/skin/nails, but also that it adds 9g of protein to my day!)

- Sparkling water (this isn’t necessary, but has been great for kicking my pop habit!)

Even after being done with my 14 day reset, I continue to drink my little wellness bevy everyday (just with less Ningxia), because I can notice such a difference in how it makes me feel! During my reset my entire family came down with a nasty cold. I am the only one that avoided it, and I am convinced it was because of this powerhouse combo and limiting my sugar intake! (Keep in mind that the Ningxia Greens definitely give it a little bit of a “green” taste, but I actually crave it now that I am used to it! Start with a little and just work your way up!)

Recap:

All in all, I am BEYOND happy with my results from this reset. Yes, I lost 5lbs. But more importantly, I look and FEEL so much better (both physically and mentally). After this reset, I went on a family getaway where we ate nothing but junk. Let me tell you, my body felt it. A big thing I want to focus on this year is being mindful of what I put in my body, because I know how crappy it makes me feel when I indulge on large portions and junk food. I am all about living life, but I truly believe there is a good healthy balance. Something I always try to remind myself is that we only have one chance at this beautiful life we were blessed with. And to get us through that one life we only have ONE body. So why not take care of it?
