Ultimate Reset Day 6

Today I hated the reset.   I wanted to eat everything.   Nothing seemed satisfying.  It's my own fault really.  Last night I stayed up reading a book.  As soon as I finished, my son woke up.  I took him to my room and we tried to go back to sleep.  We tried for three hours.  I finally took him back to his room and he eventually fell asleep.  With my aching back I still didn't sleep well.  By the time we got up and out of bed it was way past our typical schedule, both of us still tired.  So we started the day tired, and behind.  And grumpy.  Did I mention grumpy?  Strike one.
So this was breakfast.  I was supposed to be eating Tempeh but I really am not into it.  If I'm going to succeed at this, I have to be eating foods that I enjoy.  I have been giving most foods a shot - even if I don't like it.  But there are some things that are a no go! :)  So, Kiwi, yogurt with raw honey, an orange, and an apple.  I ate everything but the apple.  I meant to grab it as we went out the door but forgot it.  :(   Strike Two.

This is where things really got screwed up.  I had an appointment for a massage that lasted a bit longer than I expected - hey - I'm not complaining!  Unfortunately by the time I got home it was nearly 3:00.  That is a long time to go without food.

Lunch was supposed to be Microgreen salad - again.  With Quinoa salad.  I didn't notice the quinoa part.  So I just ate the salad.  :/  Strike three.   I wont lie, I'm sort of getting tired of this salad.  Thank goodness for the generous amount of seeds.  I'd go crazy without.  They really do add a nice crunch.  

Dinner is where I think I did the worst.  I had a wedding to go to and did not manage my time properly.  Time management with this plan is KEY!  I would have had a successful day had I managed my time better. Anyways, no picture for dinner.  I didn't make it. Which was a bummer.  It was a perfect day for cashew zucchini soup.  Instead, I grabbed 6 crackers in a baggy and left.   The reception had finger foods only.  I was going to pass on everything but then thought - eating nothing is worse than eating something that is not the best choice.  They had wings, tiny sandwich rolls, bean dip, chips.   I had two sandwich rolls, a small spoonful of bean dip, and about 4 chips.   I had no alcohol and no cake.  I think that counts for something right?  I stuck to water.  When I got home I finished the apple from breakfast.  Not my best night.  I'm actually pretty upset about it.  But it could have been a lot worse.  In the future, I really need to watch my time management.  Had I done that this wouldn't have happened.   I'm drinking extra water tonight and hope tonight does not mess up my week 1!  Tomorrow is my last day of week 1.  I can't believe how fast it's gone.  Doing group outings is hard.  It's important that I stick with this.  And I will.    Today is a learning experience.

  2. Rose, we had some bumps too! We started ours one week before the 4th of July. I thought it was a huge mistake with all the food around. After that experience I wanted to never leave the house again until we were done. Aside from going to work, I didn't. Tim did for one other day and actually spent the night in VA. He forgot breakfast for the next morning and his snack for that day he left. Point is, we're not perfect. Your actually doing great! Look forward to more reading :)
