Ultimate Reset Day 8 - Pond Scum Anyone?

Today was the beginning of phase 2 - Detox.  First thing in the morning I am supposed to drink the detox, as well as before dinner and lunch.   I was able to gag it down for breakfast.  I knew that I couldn't get this down with the alkinize so I had to run out and buy capsules from Whole Foods.  Which was ok because I needed to stock up on some veggies.  Today I'm feeling pretty fantastic.  I have much more energy in the mornings but have been tired in the evenings.  I really need to make sure I go to sleep on time tonight.   I find myself slightly emotional.  I've also been having strange dreams.  All of this is related to the detox, according to Isabelle Daikler, the co creator.   The food today has also been fairly decent.  I was really looking forward to dinner and I must admit, it was top notch!  So good!  Having yummy food certainly does help when doing the detox! Shall we look at photos?

 This is the Detox a.k.a. pond scum.  The taste of it wasn't so bad, it was the texture.  I simply couldn't get over it.  Putting it in capsuls is much better.

This was breakfast.  2 cups of cherries and an apple.  Pretty darn good.  I noticed that my taste buds are changing.  The cherries were almost too sweet to finish.  They were very good just very sweet.   


Lunch was microgreen salad.  I swapped mixed lettuce for baby spinach and that brought about a decent change.  Also bought mini cucumbers.  They are a bit sweeter than regular cukes.  Also - the seeds are smaller.  I was never a fan of the seeds in regular cukes.  They remind me of zits.

Doesn't this look pretty?  I thought I would like the alkenize better if I put it in a pretty shot glass.  not so much.   I gagged a bit on this today.  I think that was because of the detox I drank this morning.  but it was still fun to drink out of this. :)

Ahhhhh Dinner!  My favorite meal today!  Yes - that is all ONE serving!  This detox is not like any other!  It sure keeps me full!  I did  not finish all of this but it was so delicious! 

That is all for today.  I'm heading to bed early.  I need a good nights rest.  OH!  Just because I know your wondering - the detox does not have me strapped to the bathroom.  In fact, I haven't had an emergecy bathroom trip at all!  That is one of the bonuses to this program - its so gentle on your system.  Despite the few things that I don't like, it is over all a great program.  My cravings are subsiding and I'm learning the true taste of food.   :)  I also reached a mile stone.  While at Whole Foods it was past lunch time.  I was hungry and so was my son.  I knew that I could wait until I got home but Rod couldn't.  So I grabbed a slice of pizza for Rod.  I know, I know, it could have been a better choice, but for a 30 minute ride home it worked and in my opinion, better than McDonalds.  Anyways - I had the pizza guy cut it up into small pieces.  I didn't have to touch it.  Just strapped my son in the car seat and let him have the food.  :)  I wanted it for about a second, then it went away.  That is HUGE for me.  Yay me!  Have a good night!
