Day 14, 15, 16.... COMPLETE!!!!


I cannot believe I'm already done with day 14 the final day of the release phase!!! WOW! No more Detox drink 3 times a day for me anymore, just my shot of "mowing the lawn with my face" Alkalinize once a day for the next 7 days, the RESTORE PHASE :) During the RESTORE PHASE, grains (rice & quinoa) and legumes (beans, lentils) will completely be eliminated and my diet will be based only on fruits and veggies...which I'm totally excited about! I absolutely LOVE fruits and veggies (minus beets and cooked spinach, but lucky me....they're NOT on the menu!!! WOOOHOO). For breakfast, I'll have no more than 3 servings of fruit. We did our shopping for this final phase last night and OH MAN did it look FRESH! We stuck to fruit that is lower on the glycemic level such as strawberries, kiwi and grapes, which all have a  Glycemic Index below 55.

 Day 14 On the Menu:

Breakfast: 2 cups fruit

Lunch: Microgreen Salad

Snack: Strawberry Vegan Shake

Dinner: Edamame & Roasted Corn Succotash...This will DEFINITELY be a regular meal in my house after the Reset is over! It is SOOOOO DELICIOUS and will probably be my lunch or dinner the first day off the Reset!!! CANNOT WAIT!


Day 15..... Today started out super fabulous! It was an early release day at school, so I WAS PUMPED and ready to GET IT DONE! Well, there must be a full moon making it's way soon because my class of 19 2nd grade kiddos absolutely kicked my butt today! All I could think about was how nice it would be to have a cookie....it would make all of this stress go away! Until after I had a cookie, then I thought again about just licking the cookie and then throwing it away! OMG!!!! What was going on! This stress of 19 crazy kiddos was killing me! Apparently I eat my emotions...I'm right there with many others. Stress can do such crazy things! I must find something else, something healthy to do when I feel like this! I dismissed the students and I STILL had COOKIES ON THE BRAIN! I went back to my classroom, had my lunch and was feeling a little better til BAM...slap in the face...COOKIE BRAIN AGAIN! Why had I not give each student 5 cookies on their way out the door to save me from eating them! LOL! So yes my friends, I am only human and yes, I did break....but it wasn't for a cookie...in that drawer also lies a great amount of candy, but that's not really my "go to" stress reliever, but then I saw a Hershey Kiss. I kinda thought about it, picked it up, thought that it hopefully wouldn't be bad on my system, put it back, closed the drawer, walked away and the thoughts just wouldn't go away. Back to the drawer I headed and tore into that little kiss of candy :( OMG! I BROKE! 15 days in and broke! BUT....I have to tell myself it's OK, I'm only human, we have our moments of weakness and I'll just pick up where I left off. And then I have to give myself props, I didn't eat the cookie, nor did I eat the ENTIRE bag of kisses... just one and only one. They have been in that drawer the entire time I've been doing the Reset and only got to me once. I'm not letting it happen again because just like I thought....tummy ache central...just from a yummy kiss? ummmm yes, my belly is SO NOT used to having things like this and apparently didn't know what to do with it! So, besides my Hershey Kiss, here is what was on my plate throughout the entire day:


Breakfast: Bowl of Fruit

Lunch: Asian Cabbage Salad

Snack: My OH SO LOVED Strawberry Shakeology!

Dinner: Yummy yummy in my tummy... Baked sweet potato (cut into thin "chips" b/c I was sooo hungry and needed it to cook fast!) and a side of Garlic Veggies...where did the yummy garlic come from???? Straight from my mommy and daddy's garden...BEST GARLIC EVER!!!




Day 16: Today went pretty much like yesterday... minus the stress of crazy 2nd graders due to our much needed planning day and minus the slip up of a Hershey Kiss :) There they will sit in the drawer for the remainder of the Reset and until I have sweet angels in my classroom to give a sweet treat to!

Breakfast: Fruit
Lunch: Asian Cabbage Salad
Snack: CHOCOLATE Vegan Shake-O
Dinner: I have family in town, so I ordered a house salad (mixed greens, tomato, carrots & cucumber) with oil and vinegar on the side as well as a side of steamed veggies (broccoli & cauliflower).

Day 5...Ultimate Reset

Image
WOW! What a much better day! Today was my first day back at work after 2 weeks off. I felt very calm and surprisingly had a great deal of energy! I was very thankful the 1st time I did the Reset that it wasn't during the school year because I experienced headaches the first few days and thought I'd be starving throughout the school day. I did have a bit of a headache though; one of those that is a lingering constant pain in the back of the right side of my head, but it may have only lasted about an hour or two. Many times throughout my days, I feel very scatter brained...this was not the case today! During my planning period and lunch break I felt very much at ease, I wasn't starting 45 different projects at the same time and was able to start and complete a tasks without a problem :) Now THIS is what I remembered feeling like the 1st time! I was in very good spirits...no crying....LOL...and had a really good day with my students and at my 2nd job where I tutor! Today...

PROUD TEACHER MOMENT.... We all know I'm a health, fitness and nutrition NUT...I mean HEY, my undergrad degree IS in Exercise Science, I AM a Beachbody Coach, I grew up as a dancer and gymnast and am now a runner, rockstar Cizer and true believer in all things Beachbody because who doesn't like to slam out their workout from their home in the mornings before work and have time to do whatever your heart desires in the evenings!! And come on...what do you expect... OF COURSE I'm going to plant little seeds throughout the day while I'm at my full time teaching job :) Many people have NO clue what they're feeding their children...the box says "low-fat" or the bottle says "100% juice," so it must be good for us and our kiddos, right??? NOT SO FAST!!! So here we are, it's day 11 of school, 9:15 AM, we're about to read a story together, and one of my kiddos was just a little off....very lethargic with quite the attitude...he forgot to bri...

Day 6...Ultimate Reset!

Image
This day has just been AWESOME! I'm feeling SO good! My positive, non-crying self is back! I actually slept very well last night which hasn't happened in a while, and I woke up extremely refreshed and ready to go this morning! I had a really good day with my students and still had a lot of energy when I headed off to my tutoring job where I work with ten more 2nd graders. Breakfast: We forgot to pick up more tempeh last night, so I made oatmeal for breakfast and added 1/2 of a green apple, 1Tbsp 100% pure maple syrup, and 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed...of course this is one of my favs :) Lunch: Microgreen Salad (on the left in the pic below) Snack: 1/2 green apple and 1 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter Dinner: (on the right in the pic below) Zucchini & Cashew Soup and Vegetable Root Medley (which was delicious...I couldn't do the beets....they kind of have the same effect on me as spinich). Today was just such a great day for me! I even had the energy to go on a 3 mile...
