Ultimate Reset Day 5

Hello!!!! 



Day 5 is almost done. I can say that this has been the most eh of the meal plan all week. Everything looks pretty bland but breakfast and lunch were good and satisfying and for a snack I had edamame. So, on the reset you are able to swap your breakfasts for breakfasts and so on so I switched my breakfast this morning for some seasonal fruit, for lunch I had what was on the menu and for dinner I am doing the same thing. I really like that flexibility because I am not a fan of sushi and I am not a fan of farina and I know them both for a fact and to have a great experience I didn't even both making those two dishes. I fell in love with the coconut quinoa that I just kept eating it because I enjoyed it and I wanted to use the coconut milk that I bought. 

Lunch Day 5

Dinner Day 4

TIP:  I spent $145 on food and I didn't even use all of the food that I bought so I suggest either doubling up on recipes that you think you will enjoy and forget the rest and save some cash. That is what I am going to do for week two to try and save some $$. 

I woke up at 6:00 refreshed and ready to start my day, I wanted to stay in bed as always but the kiddo didn't let us but it gave us a head start to getting ready for church which isn't such a bad thing especially when all you really want to do is be lazy. I got really hungry at church and I blame that on the lack of water but I had already drank a ton or so I thought but I made it home and to my meal in no time, as you can see above it doesn't take that long to make :) 

I have not had meat in 2 days and I can honestly tell you that I don't really miss it other than chicken wings....I don't understand my obsession about it is but I really really like chicken wings LOL. 

So despite trying to relax on this wonderful Sunday, I still had to paint my sons room, the room was a really really dark brown looking color and trying to put yellow on top of it was worse than white I tell ya. So I had to go back to the store get more paint did a bit of shopping for myself and got back to it. It is now 6:30 and I have no idea where my day has gone so needless to say yoga tonight is probably not going to happen since I have to get dinner ready for the family get showers and probably hit the sack.  

Well, off to go cook dinner for the family....maybe I'll try to get a half hour of yoga in before showering.....we shall see! Until tomorrow!

Ultimate Reset

 I am not the biggest fan of this thing called cleansing but I was reading a book called The Beauty Detox Solution and I have also watched Fork Over Knives and these principles have been nagging me since I first saw the movie. I can't really explain it but it makes so much sense. Some of you may think that it's all hogwash and that is totally ok I understand where you are coming from because I was once there. 

 

In the book Kimberly Snyder talks about our body holding onto fat because the body keeps it around to block the organs from the totoxicity that we put into your bodies. She also talks about how we are very similar to monkeys and gorillas which makes sense too and how are bodies and intestines are similar to theirs and they are vegetarian animals which rings off sirens in my head too. I mean what if we were MEANT to be vegetarians! How crazy would that be? I am not totally sold on the book but I have read numerous research articles on the subject and it all makes sense. Think about it.......why do we drink milk? Cows make it for their babies while we make our own milk for our babies so why would we drink cow baby milk? It just makes sense if you REALLY think about it. Anyway.....I have been toying with the idea of doing the Ultimate Reset. It is based off of the principle of transitioning to going vegan and it is a 21 day cleanse. I am even more curious to see how it works now that I am reading this book and recently saw Forks Over Knives......I am not through reading the book but I will post a review on it when I have finished it to let you know. For now, it is a very informational read that has plenty of references for me to check out and do research on my own. 

 

If you are wondering what the Reset is check out below and there is information on the phases and what it is meant to do for your body. I have also attached a small video for you to check out in the mean time.

 

How It Works: The 21-day Reset Occurs in Three Phases.

• Balance Body Chemistry

  Constant consumption of preservatives and chemical-laden foods along with exposure to toxins and pollution impair normal body processes. During Phase 1, you'll balance your body chemistry with four of the six supplements in order to optimize its systems. This will also reduce cravings or dependencies on items such as sugar or caffeine.*
  

• Remove Toxins & Reset Digestion

  In Phase 2, you'll be reversing the effects of poor habits, unhealthy foods, and environmental toxins. You'll modify your diet so that your digestive system won't have to struggle, and digestive problems you may have experienced before such as bloating and indigestion will be significantly reduced as your gasotrointestinal tract is cleansed.*
  

• Rejuvenate Your Health

  When you reach Phase 3, you will experience a profound positive change in your mood and energy level. During the final week, you'll eat foods of high-nutritional value whose nutrients are easily absorbed and return healthy bacteria to your freshly scrubbed digestive tract with pre- and probiotics. This will set you on the path to long-term healthy living.*
