My name is Gabby.
I am a weight loss mindset coach and I lost half my body weight through exercise, eating right, and a little (or a lot of) soul searchin’.
I'm here to motivate you, inspire you, and make you laugh on your journey to a healthier and happier lifestyle.
I remember what it was like in the beginning of my weight loss journey. I had no idea where to start or what to do. I figured fitness-wise I really just needed to move my ass and sweat, but I was completely and utterly lost on what to eat. Once I learned how to meal prep, everything changed.
This makes the perfect dessert if you're trying to eat healthy. Hell, who am I kidding. I had this sh*t for dinner last night. I'm not even playin'. My hubs made jalapeño hamburgers on the grill last night with organic gluten-free mac and cheese, which sounds good I know, but I just wasn't feelin' it. I wanted a filling dessert with a hot cup of tea. See that's the beauty of being a grown-up, you can eat whatever the hell you want for dinner. I chose banana nut bread over burgers. And I just might have that again tonight.
I've been hearing about Beachbody's Ultimate Reset for years now. I've never really been too interested in lengthy detoxes or cleanses, but I have always been a little curious about the Ultimate Reset because I've heard some good things about it. Problem is that most of the good things I'd heard were coming from people who in some way were affiliated with Beachbody, so I never knew for sure what to think. At one point, about a year ago, I even tried to look up some reviews. The only detailed reviews I could find were from Beachbody coaches and it was only positive points that were listed. I remember thinking, why can't I find an honest review? I mean come on... any 21 day detox, I don't care how awesome it is, has to have some crappy aspects to it. This isn't a measly weekend detox, 21 days is a good chunk of time. It can't be all roses and rainbows.
I've always mostly detoxed or cleansed in natural ways through particular foods, infused waters, and Epsom salt baths and I didn't have any real intentions on doing the ultimate reset anyway so I moved on with my life. A few times in the past, I've completed a 3-day detox, but I never thought I'd ever actually do a 3-week detox. That sounded not so fun to me.
However, in spring of this year I found myself a little bit off track. Then my husband and I took a trip to Nashville and by the time I got back home, let me tell you... I was a lot off track. In addition to being off track, I was (not liking to admit this) in a super lazy funk. All I wanted to do was go back to Nashville and eat more Hattie B's (not even playin').
I didn't feel like thinking about anything or figuring anything out, so for the first time ever I seriously considered doing the Ultimate Reset 21 Day Detox. After pondering it for a few weeks, I decided to go ahead and try it. I figured maybe it would get me back on track and that my curiosity would also finally be quenched about this detox. As soon as I made the decision to do it, I then also decided that I would write an honest review about it. I would write the detailed review I was once searching for, one that doesn't spew any bullshit and just gives it to you straight.
I didn't get paid for this review, I have no ties or affiliations to Beachbody, and I bought this Ultimate Reset Detox with my own money. All of the opinions are my own and boy do I have a lot of them. I give you a blow by blow and I don't hold back. I give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Find out if this detox is for you...

If you have a mug and a microwave, then you can make this meatloaf... IN FOUR MINUTES!
Okay, I know this sounds weird at first. Meatloaf in a mug? Not something you hear everyday. In fact when my husband, Jay, walked in on me experimenting with this in the kitchen, he looked at me like I lost my damn mind. I think his exact words were, while scrunching up his face, "What in the hell am I looking at right now?" After I told him I was trying to make a mini meatloaf in a mug he didn't look any less weirded out. In fact it was at that point that he pivoted and walked straight out of the kitchen while mumbling something about me being crazy. Whatever, dude.
I've been slacking on my protein intake lately. This mini meatloaf has been the perfect solution! Find out how quick and easy it is to make! ...
I was morbidly obese for over 10 years. Everything I tried to lose weight for those 10 years didn’t work. So what finally happened? How was I able to finally lose my weight, all of it, all 120 pounds? I'm going to save you a shit-load of time and ass-ache by sharing this with you. Please, please learn from my mistakes. Here we go...
I have say right off the bat, I had nothing to do with today's post. I gotta give 100% of the credit to my 12 year old, Gia. This creative and crafty little one (okay maybe not so little anymore *whimpers*) made her mama a jar of this peppermint sugar scrub for Christmas. I love it so much that I had her teach me... and all of you how to make it! It's so easy you won't believe it!
This would be a fantastic gift to make for Valentine's Day!...
What if I told you I was going to show you how to make two healthy family dinners AND a big batch of magical and healing bone broth...
I'm going to walk you through all three. You won't believe how easy it is and how much money you'll save...
Okay we all know how it works. You go on a diet, you lose a couple pounds, then you hit a wall, and then you quit. Or maybe you lost 30 pounds and you were happy at that, but then six months later you’ve gained 15 of it back. Or maybe as many times as you’ve tried to even start, you can really never get going. I could go on forever with the or maybes and come up with a ton of different scenarios but they all end the same… a weight loss journeys that never succeed. Why? I mean with all the efforts that we've all put in for years and years, why aren’t there more success stories?
Think about it. How many people in your life do you know who've tried to lose weight? I bet a lot. But just for shits and giggles, let’s say you only know a few. If everybody that walks the planet knows just one or two people who've tried and failed at losing weight, well, uh that’s a lot of friggin people!
So why do almost all of us fail? ...
#1. It's easy.
#2. It's healthy.
#3. It's friggin delicious.
