Day 2

Friday, Friday, Friday!!!! I usually love Fridays, but today???? Man, oh, man....I was on an emotional roller coaster! At first I thought it was due to the fact that I had just gotten back home to FL after spending about 1 1/2 weeks with my favorite people in the world; my family, but then I remembered comments from others, who did the reset while I was doing it the first time, saying that they felt a bit emotional during the first few days. My guess is that my body was having some serious cookie or chocolate withdrawals and was crying for some of sugar...EEEK!!!

So, here is a recap of my day:

Supplements and distilled water around 7:30. The 30 minute wait for breakfast was killing me! I wanted to eat it so bad because I'm a breakfast lover and was a bit hungry. (throw in about 5 minutes of crying here) I held out for 40 minutes by busying myself with some house cleaning :) Breakfast consisted of oatmeal with blueberries and organic plain yogurt sweetened with  a drop of 100% pure maple syrup. YUM!
YUM YUM YUM!!!!
After my 2nd round of supplements and another 30 minute wait, I was able to eat my delicious lunch. What was on the menu today? Well, an amazingly delicious Greek salad with home made Greek dressing, topped with one of most favorite things in the world: Kalamata olives!! YIPPY! (oh, a great lunch, but again more crying! OMG!!!! I needed a WHAAAAAAmbulance today!) I decided that I had had ENOUGH of this funk and packed up my beach bag, with my Alkalinize and snack, stopped by Barnes and Noble to pick up a new planner and drove down to the beach for a little R&R, some goal jotting, week planning and might I add, a little more crying! LOL! Well, I arrived at the beach, couldn't find parking and the clouds were rolling in, so I rolled home. Once I was home, I drank down my Alkalinize without a problem! I just added a little bit more ice and I think I actually felt like I was enjoying it!

Thank God my roommies came home around 5:00, or I may have cried again! Hill and I headed out for a brisk 2 mile walk, which I believed turned out to be about 4 miles. It was very much needed, and by the time we got home, I was feeling much better. No more crying for the entire night! I don't think I have cried like that since I was a baby!

It was time for our evening supplements, 30 minute wait and then another great dinner! This is something that I have eaten many times since the first time I did the Reset: black beans, gluten free rice, corn, salsa, avocado and a side of kale!

 


I just cannot believe how much of an emotional day today was. I'm very positive it's mainly due to the fact that I miss my family immensely! The rest of the night has been enjoyable. I have two super amazing roommates that are on this journey with me and I wouldn't have it any other way. The accountability and support we provide for each other is just awesome! Thanks roommies :)

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!

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...
