Day 4
AHHHH, Sundays. I absolutely LOVE Sundays! Today I woke up at 7:00am feeling well rested. My one roommie and I threw on the P90X Yoga video for a little bit of stretching before breakfast and church. Breakfast was great this morning, light but also very filling: 1-2 cups of fruit, 1 slice gluten free toast and 1/2 cup yogurt. I skipped out on the yogurt because it really just doesn't agree with my stomach, but I was completely satisfied without it!
Off to church we went, my one roommie and I....what a great message! I LOVE THAT HOUSE... Church By the GLADES <3 The way way each message is related to everyday life is absolutely incredible! My church crew and I always feel so wonderful after a good Sunday morning at CBG! It uplifts our spirits, minds and hearts!
After getting our weekly dose of church, we took our 2nd dose of daily supplements and headed home for some lunch :) I was feeling pretty positive, not super hungry, but hungry enough to want to eat lunch. Today's lunch was Lentil-Lime Salad along with Micro-green Salad. I myself am a big fan of both of these salads. After doing the Reset the first time, I continued to make these 2 recipes on my own. By about 1:00, I was starting to feel a little funky again.....OH NO, was this going to be another emotional roller-coaster day!!?? When I started to feel a little stressed/emotional I started having chocolate cravings again!! WILL THEY EVER GO AWAY!? I kept telling myself that I had only about 1 more hour to go and I could satisfy this chocolate craving devil inside of me with a filling, chocolate Shakeology! I was in my house all alone, no roommies, no backup, no accountability, and then had an AHA....I could just slide over to the door and eat one of those Oreos that are nicely tucked away in that Target bag to bring to my students tomorrow. No one would ever have to know.... except me. I just couldn't hold that feeling of guilt on my shoulders. I was NOT going to succumb to temptation...and I DIDN'T! Day 4....as close as I've been, I still haven't given up. The cravings were definitely not as insane as yesterday, but they were still cravings....GO AWAY ALREADY! So I waited around long enough to enjoy my Alkalinize and make a Shake-O to go and took my bottom to the pool to savor the last moments of winter break (and to get out of my house and away from temptations). While at the pool my mood was once again much more positive and relaxed...being outside at the pool and beach is like being in a place of peace. These are the places I go to regroup and gather my thoughts...it just amazes me how a little bit of sun + me time can be so uplifting.
When I got home, I felt so focused and ready to go. I did some laundry and made our Day 4 dinner (vegetable stir fry for the roommies and I ) and also cooked up the veggies for tomorrow night and prepped our lunches for Day 5. After this, I continued to plug away at some work, make my to-do list, and start to catch up on exploring how to enter these blog posts :)
I did have a minor meltdown while talking to my mom tonight and realized that most of this moodiness I have been experiencing over the last few days cannot be mainly due to the Reset, but probably stems from all of the "life events" that have happened over the last 1 1/2 years, the most recent event of my grandfather passing, the fact that I had to leave my family in NY and MN to come back to my own life in FL and the reality of heading back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off. After talking it out, I felt much better...thanks momma! During this conversation I was also reminded of the feeling of peace I had within myself when I did the Reset in July/Aug 2012....I felt organized, less scatter brained, basically very much at peace. Let's see what my first day back to work has in store for me.....Looking forward to a not so Manic Monday :)
