I'm realizing that I'm running at a very steady pace these days. Nothing has stressed me out, made me angry, just staying very mellow and cool. I LOVE IT!! This is how life should be. :) My sleep is still lacking, but I still feel well rested during the day. Actually around lunch time I had nothing else going on so I plopped on the couch, caught up on some old tv shows and ate my lunch very slow. If felt great to have not a worry in the world for that hour.
Today started out a bit rushed, but well planned. It's my Volunteer Day at my sons school so we headed out like normal in the AM. Thankfully I was already prepped with all my breakfast items ready to go. Today was a plate of fresh fruit, yogurt, and toast. The fruit was the best tasting ever! I wish I wish I could have slowed down to really enjoy it, but that's alright. The natural sugar gave me lots of energy, but yet I was still very calm feeling.
Everyone said Days 4,5, & 6 are the toughest and honestly it was days 1-3 that was tougher for me. And only because of the new schedule, food, and prepping that I am not used to.
I only have one complaint so far (and fair warning this will be TMI!!!!!). There has not been a BM since Day 1. I'm drinking 70oz of water a day and eating all my food, but I'm still feeling really full in my belly. I've started having my Tropical Shakeology as my snack so that should help clear things up here soon with al lit's pre and probiotics.
For lunch it was the same as dinner from the night before and it was so much better made the 2nd time!
making my lunch
And the Result :) Only took a few minutes to put together.
Dinner was so good and full of new things for me! I'd never cooked or eaten Quinoa before. Turns out it's a lot like rice and very yummy, even just plain! There were also stir fry veggies which were to die for!! I overcooked them so they were soft and kind of crispy, which just added flavor.
I think the best party about this Reset has been that I've introduced new foods to my family. My son has tried the Miso Soup, Quinoa, and now zucchini! He has even asked if he could have some of the vegetables the nest day for his lunch. I LOVE THIS RESET and what it's doing for my family!! I know some of these recipes will be sticking around afterwards. The whole learning experience about listening to your body and not just eating all the time because you THINK you NEED to has been an eye opener.
