Before Body Reboot Blueprint® (BRB)
Before I participated in “Body Reboot Blueprint®” I felt I lived a healthy lifestyle but still didn’t feel that I had much control over my weight, my energy level, or the way my body felt.
Relationship with food
In good times, I use food for energy, nourishment and to help manage my depression. When I’m eating well, I wake up feeling refreshed and excited to start the day. I look forward to my workouts, I am more productive, and have an optimistic outlook on life.
In the bad times, I use it as an escape from boredom and bad feelings. For example, if I’m feeling lonely or upset, I will sit and enjoy a bowl of ice cream. In that moment I focus on the enjoyment of the taste and texture of the food which distracts me from the bad feelings. If I overeat, the sleepiness I feel afterward is calming in a way that soothes anxiety.
Where I Felt Stuck
- Stress eating for comfort
- Not eating often enough
- Depression zapped my energy, focus and confidence
I decided to take the program because I had just completed a 3-day “No Sugar Challenge” with Sandra. Not only was I enjoying working with her, but I was already starting to feel like I had more energy. Before the end of the 3-day challenge, I no longer feared falling asleep if I said down too long and my inflammation was gone!
How Body Reboot Blueprint® Transformed my Life
During “Body Reboot Blueprint®” I learned more about taking care of myself than just eating healthy foods. We learned how to balance time between work and rest, the importance of eating at regular intervals so as not to succumb to sugar cravings, how to chose foods for snacks and meals to feel satiated longer, and how to plan and prep meals so that the choice to eat healthy foods is an easy one.
By the end of the program I had:
- lost 8 pounds
- felt refreshed when I woke up in the morning
- didn’t feel the desire to nap throughout the day
- eliminated inflammation in my joints that made it painful to exercise or even get dressed in the morning
- gotten my hormones and mood in balance so that I was no longer struggling with my depression
My Life Now
Working with Sandra has been, not only life changing, but fun too! Since, BRB completed, I continue working with Sandra privately and have lost 15 lbs and counting, plus
