The Ultimate Reset - My Results

It's been a long cold winter.  Ever since the holidays I just couldn't seem to get my diet back on track.  The final straw was a long family road trip from Minnesota to Texas and back where we dined on numerous fast food meals.   I came back home feeling sluggish, tired and overweight.  It was time to push the reset button.

My husband and I just completed "The Beachbody Ultimate Reset."  I am blown away by our quick results.  In only 21 days I lost 11 pounds and Jack lost 18 pounds.  There was no exercising!  It was a detailed meal plan and a complete set of supplements to help your body gently and safely remove toxins.  Guess what?!  It's on sale right now.

Here is how you order The Ultimate Reset:

I was not hungry while on this program because the meals were so large!  I followed the meal plan exactly.  It was wonderful knowing exactly what I needed to shop for each week and cook each day.  The planning was all done for me.  Here are some of my meals:

Roasted Beets, Asparagus, Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Collard Greens.

Lots of yummy fruit.

The supplements and well worn nutrition guide.

Lentil quinoa pilaf with steamed broccoli.

Nori rolls, lentil salad and miso soup.  All these were a first for me. 

 It definitely took me out of my comfort zone but it was worth it and so yummy.

Black bean and rice tacos.

Greek Salad with grilled chicken and pine nuts.

Micro green salad

Scrambled eggs, steamed kale and toast

What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset®?

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset® is a comprehensive, no-starvation, inner-body 

tune-up that offers much more than the typical cleanse and detox programs on 

the market. The Ultimate Reset not only helps you eliminate toxins and waste 

gently and naturally, but it also maximizes your cellular energy production, 

helping your body process food more efficiently and your systems run more 

smoothly. You’ll replace the processed foods you've been eating with healthy 

foods. You’ll eat cleanly—possibly for the first time in your life—and take 

supplements designed to help your body remove from your cells and organs 

toxins that you've been taking in for decades. 

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete, three-phase, 21-day mind and body 

program that provides everything you need to:

 • Reclaim your body’s natural balance

 • Release the harmful materials you may be storing within you

 • Restore your system to its maximum health

Participants have experienced the following benefits:

• Flush toxins from organs • Improved digestion • Increased energy

• A more positive mood and better focus

• Weight loss (improved BMI)

• Lowered cholesterol

• Eliminated dependencies on sugar and caffeine

• Improved overall health

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a breakthrough program that will help you 

gently restore your body to its “original factory settings” so you can feel, look, 

and be healthier.

Why Reset?

Our environment has become more and more toxic. Our bodies absorb pollution and 

harmful chemicals all our lives, along with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and 

the water we drink. These toxins can get stored in our bodies, clogging our cells and 

slowing down their natural functions. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average American has 

approximately 219 toxic chemicals stored in his body, primarily in fat cells. This toxic 

overload can help lead to premature aging, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and 

cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society® states that 75 to 80% of cancer deaths 

are linked to environmental factors like toxins. 

It’s not enough just to work out and eat right. At Beachbody®, we realized we had 

to take a break from the everyday and find a way to get those toxins out of our 

bodies. Along with getting in shape on the outside, we had to start getting healthy 

on the inside. We decided it was time for a Reset.

How does the Ultimate Reset work?

The Ultimate Reset is a 21-day program, but it’s helpful to think of it in

three distinct phases, each 1 week long:

 • Phase One: RECLAIM your body, accessing its inner chemistry and

preparing for change.

 • Phase Two: RELEASE the toxic compounds that are stored within

your tissues.

 • Phase Three: RESTORE your metabolism to maximum efficiency.

After just 21 days, you should feel dramatically better physically, mentally,

and emotionally. Will it be challenging? Sometimes. But just as Beachbody’s

workouts aren't the easiest fitness programs you can do, the Ultimate Reset

may also require some extra effort. In return, it can deliver extraordinary

results. And keep in mind that no matter how challenging you may find it,

you’ll have your Coach and the entire Team Beachbody® community in your

corner to help you through.

Once you complete your 21-day program, you’ll have a “transitioning back”

period, during which you’ll be guided back into life after the Ultimate Reset.

You’ll get advice on food and exercise, along with helpful tips on how to

maintain—and continue to build on—the great work you've accomplished.

P90X3 is NOT the kid sister workout

P90x3 is released next Tuesday December 10th.  I was an "Insanity" girl myself and never tried the original P90X.  I was always turned off by the hour and a half long workouts.  Now that p90x3 has been created and it is only 30 minutes I day It looks like it has my name written all over it.

Below is a beachbody description of the new program:

All good things come in threes, but be warned: P90X3 is far from a trilogy. No, P90X3 is NOT the kid sister workout. It’s the workout that took notes from it’s siblings, then condensed, and accelerated to become the most dynamic and fastest workout yet.

The ultimate excuse busterTime is the biggest excuse. P90X3 solves that. Every workout is 30 minutes and the clock starts the minute you push play. Before you can say “drop and give me 10,” it’s over and you are one workout closer to the six-pack of your dreams. 

Muscle acceleration explainedMany P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

Say goodbye to boredomWhich brings us to the fun-factor. Host, world-renown fitness ledgend, Tony Horton does not disappoint. With his witty one-liners and can-do mantras, he’ll simultaneously have you laughing and fired-up to bust out that final rep. Along with the constant entertainment, P90X3 has the most workouts of any Beachbody program. With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone. 

The ideal P90X3-erIt may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.) As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!” 

It doesn’t stop thereAnd of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through a Coach any time from December 10th – 31st (including Challenge Packs), the customer receives an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?

And last but not least, we have the app: Yes, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS (will be available 12/10 on Android) The app includes P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition – which brings you workout specific tracking modules, scheduling options and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for Android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

The program comes with resistance bands and a chin-up bar is recommended but not required.  I will be forming a challenge group of only 5 people starting January 6th.  It will be a private online group for support and motivation.  If you want in message me quick.

Pet Portrait

WWW.KelseySchott.com 

Meet Atticus.  I was commissioned last month to paint of portrait of this dog.  It was a labor of love.    I studied Fine Art at Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio.  Since Moving to Minnesota and having two kids, I haven't been painting as much as I would like. 

To paint this piece I hired a babysitter for the whole day.  It worked out so well that I hired her to come back the following week too!  Now I am looking into putting the kids into day care once a week so that I can paint.  It is important to me so I want to make time for it and I am thankful that my Beachbody coaching income to help cover the cost.

This painting was worked from a photo reference.  The client emailed me some of her favorite photos and we chose one that worked the best.  Check out my website for pricing information as well as a gallery of my other pet portraits and paintings. 

If you would like a portrait of your pet in watercolor or oil then e-mail me your favorite photos and we will get started from there.  It takes about one month for me to finish a painting and ship to you.

Here are photos of the different stages of the Atticus painting:

Shakelogy Explained

www.KelseySchott.com

When I first started Insanity I thought that I could complete the program without drinking shakeology.  Being the frugal person that I am, I didn't want to have to purchase anything additionally.  So I set off on my Insane fitness journey thinking my healthy breakfasts of oatmeal and berries would be enough but it wasn't and I failed fast.  My energy level was so low that completing the workouts was nearly impossible.  My form got sloppy and I ended up injuring my ankles.  My first insanity attempt lasted 2 weeks before I quit.

After staring at the DVD set for a few months and moving it around from various clutter piles to other piles.  I decided that I was tired of looking at the pictures of the crazy sweaty people on the cover because it was an example of something that I had quit.  I hate quitting!  So I set the goal to finish the program and do it right.  I wanted to limit my risk of failure so I finally purchased Shakeology. 

Wow! It actually worked.  I had enough energy to keep pushing play everyday.  I was filling my body with necessary nutrients that in our society we can't help to be lacking.  I had more energy and I was losing weight quick!  Only 3 weeks into the programs I was already into my pre-pregnancy jeans.  I hadn't worn those things since 2011!!

Something else was happening too.  I realized that it was actually easier for me to make a shake in the morning than to cook myself breakfast.  Mornings can be super crazy here.  I am nursing one baby and fixing (and forcing) food to the other oh yeah and you can't forget the dog.

My next new discovery was the shaker cup.  Yes, you can get fancy in the blender adding fruit or nut butters and I really like having the 30 day calendar with a whole months worth of recipe ideas, but truthfully I just want to eat first thing in the morning.  I don't want to deal with a bunch of extra dishes to wash and I especially hate cleaning the blender.  So instead I put 8 ounces of vanilla almond milk and one scoop of Shakeology in the cup and bam!  Breakfast of served.  It's quick, it's sweet and it's filling. 

So what makes Shakeology different?  Because I know what you are thinking. "Why can't I just go to Sam's club and buy the giant jug of generic protein powder?"  The difference is not in the amount of protein. It is in the health benefits of super foods like chia seeds, acai berry, pomegranate and wheat grass. It is also organic with no GMO's with probiotics which aid digestion. You would have to spend a lot of money on exotic fruits, vegetables and supplements to compare to Shakeology. 

So what is Shakeology?
Shakeology is the most delicious, nutrient-dense, superfood-packed protein shake on the planet. It’s made with the healthy stuff you should be eating every day, but typically don’t. Shakeology’s the perfect combination of proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics. Plus, it also contains many rare ingredients, including adaptogens, camu-camu, and sacha inchi—things we can’t get from an ordinary diet. So whether you use Shakeology for weight loss, or drink it to optimize your health, this powerful and delicious shake is your daily dose of dense nutrition.

See what doctors are saying about Shakeology.  Watch this video "100 Doctors Don't Lie."

New this month is a brand new Shakeology flavor...Vanilla!  My mother is so happy about this because sometimes you just want plain 'ole vanilla! 

 I am eager to learn what the response is to the new vanilla shakeology.  I invite you to take part in the Vanilla Shakeology test panel that is set to begin on July 15th.  Details are below or you can try it out now and get me as your coach!  I will offer you a customized meal plan because losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise.  If you put good foods into your body you will have a good quality body.  Shakeology will be your answer to the much needed healthy and quick breakfast but together I can help you get the rest of your meals in order too!  If you are nervous to try Shakeology because you are afraid you won't like it remember that it comes with a bottom of the bag money back guarantee.  Even if you have finished the bag but you are not happy with your results you can send it back for a full refund.

How To Get Your Workout In With 2 Kids Under 2

 

If you thought Insanity was hard try it with a baby and toddler in the room.  In my three on-going challenge groups many of the participants are parents of young children.  It can be extremely difficult to fit in a workout when you have little ones that need so much attention.  I feel for my challengers who are trying hard to exercise and eat right but are having trouble making it all work.  I get asked often how I exercise at home with the kids.   Here is a list of tricks that I use in order to make sure I exercise 6 times a week.

1. Put your exercise clothes on early.
2. Put then in a bumbo, bouncer seat, exersaucer, jumperoo etc.  and give them a book or crayons and paper.
3  Floor time with toys or play the "Crawl to Momma" game.
4. Set up a movie corner
5. Feed lunch or snacks

I am a stay-at-home mother of a 9 month old daughter and a son who just turned two.  Ideally the best time to exercise is when they are taking a nap at the same time.  I try my best to make this happen daily by putting them on a schedule.  But, they are always changing and many days it just doesn't work that way.  If I can't get my kids to synchronize their naps I settle for just one.  When that doesn't happen and I have two children up I make due because I must stick to my exercise calendar. No excuses!

.

First things first, dress the part.  Mornings are crazy at my house.  It includes poopy diapers, barking dogs, a nursing baby and a toddler who doesn't like wearing clothes.  After the initial breakfast time madness I put on my athletic clothes.  Even though I know I can't exercise right then I get dressed so that I am ready when the opportunity arises.  This way when I put the kids down for a nap I don't have to spend 20 minutes getting dressed, looking for my shoes or pulling back my hair.

When I started the Insanity program Baby Edie was 6 months old.  She was the easy one.  She would stay put in one spot so I usually put her into her bouncer seat.  Shaun T. and the others on the video mesmerized her.  She would stare at me and then back to the T.V. and was content most of the time.  I tried my best to time it in-between feedings but many times I had to push pause on the DVD to nurse her and change her diaper.  I didn't let it get me down if I had to stop.  I tended to her needs and then made sure I went back to finish the workout.

Edie and Bigfoot helping me do my Brazil Butt Lift exercise

 

Now that she is older (9 months) she doesn't like to stay in one place for very long.  I let her crawl around and try to keep her occupied with toys.  This can be frustrating because she likes climbing up on things.  Whenever I do exercises on the floor she sees this as the perfect opportunity to climb up on me and grab my pony tail.  I try to keep her in a high chair with puffs for long enough for me to finish the ab workout.  Easier said than done.

If she is crawling around I take her to a spot furthest from me in the room, let her crawl all the way to me and then swoop her up and take her back.  I call this the "Crawl to Momma" game and I try to make it part of the routine keeping my heart rate elevated. 

My two year old John is usually more difficult.  I know that I can only keep him occupied on one task for about 20 minutes maximum so I use different activity stations.  First is the movie corner.  I have a small portable DVD player that I setup and have him watch one of his baby Einstein videos.  When that doesn't hold his attention any longer I move him into the high chair and give him crayons and paper.  Then I feed him his lunch.  All three activities together give me about an hour long workout.  Although, the whole process takes longer than that because of the frequent stops to move him into a new station or make him lunch.



He too enjoys it best when I do floor exercises and sees it as the perfect time to grab his toy Jeep and drive it all over me.  Then, when he tires of playing cars he just lays on top of me.  It's not easy to hold plank with a two year old resting on you.  It is usually at about this time that my dog Bigfoot joins in the fun and cuddles up to me too.  I won't lie, sometimes I want to scream, other times a cry but most of the time it just makes me laugh when this happens.    I am still breaking a sweat and my kids see me trying.  I hope that they too see the importance of my dedication.

Amongst all this commotion I know that I don't exercise to my best ability or intensity but in the end does it really matter?  Whenever I get a chance to workout without kids interrupting me I seize the opportunity and give it all that I have. Sometimes I think back to how is was before kids and can't believe all the excuses I made to not workout.

My next 60 day challenge group starts July 1st.  E-mail me if you want to be a part of a small group of people supporting each other on their fitness journeys.  My current challengers are already seeing results.  You could have your dream body by Labor day. 

Schell's Lager Lauf - Finishing The Insanity Challenge with a Bang!

 

This years t-shirt design

 

I spent the last 60 days doing the popular Beachbody program Insanity.  (I will post pictures of my results soon)  My final day coincided with the 2nd Annual Lager Lauf 6pacK and 12pacK (6K &12K) Run.  I couldn't think of a better way to finish the program and test my fitness ability. 

John & Edie are ready in their jogging strollers.

 

 

The August Schell Brewing Company is the second oldest family owned brewery in America and is located in my town of New Ulm, Minnesota.  The start and finish line was at the scenic brewery which sits along the Cottonwood River.  Instead of your typical community race that is usually 5 or 10 kilometers long and may provide cups of water, this one is cleverly 6 or 12 kilometers long and offers beer stops to quench your thirst.  At the end of the race there was a band, beers and bratwursts for the runners and spectators to enjoy. 

Edie & I at the beautiful Schell's Brewery.

 

I took part in the festivities last year with a giant 5 month pregnant belly while pushing my 13 month old son in the jogging stroller.  This year, I borrowed an extra jogging stroller from a friend so that my husband Jack could push our son John in the 12k while I pushed our daughter Edie in the 6k. 

 

Jack & John finish the 12K

 

The race started with the bang of a cannon but the kids didn't seem to mind.  I was slow getting started because there were many walking participants and it wasn't easy navigating the stroller around them.  Before we reached to the end of the brewery road baby Edie was fast asleep.  I huffed and puffed my way up Payne Street hill (aptly named, right!) without her even realizing.  It wasn't until I made it back to the brewery road that she started to stir as I took off in a sprint for the finish line.  Edie and I waited there for Jack and John to finish the 12k strong.  Jack said that John chanted his new favorite phrase, "There he goes," to people along the way.  

John with his sippy cup after the race.

 

I was really looking forward to this years race and I am happy to say my time improved by 17 minutes.  I thought I would partake in the beer tasting but I just couldn't bring myself to drink their pilsner during the race.  Maybe it was Shawn T.'s voice in my head saying "water people, you need water!" 

 

Insanity may not be the proper training for a foot race but it was just what I needed to get in shape fast and be ready for the summer.  Go to my beachbody website click on join to get a free membership.  Message me if you would like to join my next challenge group.
