Well, I've done it. Seven days on the reset. Over all it has been great. I've tried new foods and even liked ones that I never have before. Cucumbers are ok in my book. I still don't love them but I like them enough to add to my salad. The biggest thing I've learned this week is time management. It's awful. I have terrible time management. I messed up yesterday because of it. If you have a busy day, cook the day before. I've been a bit on edge today. Nothing to terribly bad, just a bit cranky. Despite getting a good amount of sleep, I'm also very tired. Unusually tired really. I took a very long nap today as well. I know this is all my bodies way of getting rid of toxins. I'm taking it easy like the plan says. Went for a walk this morning which I think helped my back. I really hope its back to normal tomorrow.
This was breakfast. I was surprised because this morning we were supposed to put flax seed in our oatmeal. I've tried flax seed before but I've always thought it was gross. I could never get it down. I added a whole tablespoon to it per instructions and couldn't even taste it! The only other things added to the oatmeal was cinnamon and half an apple! I even put it in my sons oatmeal and he didn't notice either. This will be a welcomed addition to our oatmeal from now on. The yogurt with honey I really enjoyed. I still get surprised that the yogurt with honey is good. I really do like it. However, it is the last day for dairy. The next two weeks are vegan. Which is ok. As it turns out, I'm enjoying the plethora of vegetables. They really are very filling!
Lunch - once again - was the microgreen salad. I'm about done with this stuff. Seriously - I need something new. to spice it up a bit, I bought some spinach. :) Hopefully that will be the change I need! We were also supposed to have zucchini cashew soup but I was so full from the salad that I didn't eat it.
This was dinner. I passed on the snack since I wasn't hungry. We were supposed to have tempeh but are allowed to substitute it with any type of beans. I had pinto beans on hand. The only thing I didn't like was the zucchini. I accidentally steamed it too long and it was too mushy. I hate mushy zucchini. I ate it but will keep an eye on future squash steaming days!
That's all for this week. I enjoyed the yummy meals and can't wait to make some of them again. Tomorrow starts week two. Also Detox week. I am nervous about it because the mixture does not look good. I know it's good for me though. So it just comes down to how bad I want it. I am "used" to the alkenize now - so I hope that I can get used to the detox within a few days. It's just 7 days, 3 times a day. I got this!
