Well, I'm on day 4 of the Ultimate Reset. What a difference this is from the first round. First of all, it was a lot cheaper. This go round I had a lot of the condiments that I needed. I still used them after the reset! I also know what I like and what I don't like, So i'm doing some repeat meals. I didn't have to purchase so much. The black beans and rice is one of my favorites and had that as a repeat often!
Lunch has been a bit difficult. I am still "salad-ed" out from the last reset. I detest the salad. And the dressing. Thank goodness I can add nuts onto it because that adds a delightful crunch. I wouldn't mind having some feta cheese though - that would be a nice addition!
Overall, this round has been more difficult. I've been increasingly stressed and have been wanting junk food. I've been good. Minus the two bites of my sons mac n cheese I had. Oops! I've been drinking strictly water and have been having my Shakeology. Only vegan is allowed but I'm ok with that because it's so FANTASTIC! :) I will say I'm eating a bit more. Since I'm pregnant I've been following the men's guidelines. I don't want to short myself!
At times I have found myself hungry, despite the generous portions we are allowed to have. If I am still hungry, I will drink a glass of water. If I'm still hungry after that I'll eat some veggies or fruit. The point of this reset is to take care of myself and learn how to read my body. Plus, no one has gotten fat from eating fruits and veggies!
It has been harder. I want to eat everything. We have candy canes on our Christmas tree - and while they typically aren't my go to treat - they look amazing. I'm taking them down tonight so I can stop looking at them! I think this just goes to show how much sugar has affected me. To be honest, I did fairly well after the reset. I added some of the "old foods" back in but for the most part I didn't. I also had smaller portions. Then came Christmas. I love the holidays and all the goodies. Not to mention three birthdays! I did only gain 4 lbs though so I am very happy about that. Happier now because those 4 lbs are gone!
I'm not expecting to lose 18 lbs like I did the first time. All I want from this go round - is to reset my eating. Even before I found out I was pregnant, I was planning on doing the reset. Now that I am pregnant, it is vital that I reset my eating. I cannot gain weight this time like I did last time! Its not an option. I need to have a healthy pregnancy so I can successfully have a VBAC. Please keep in mind - this has been approved by my doctor (I am NOT doing the detox portion) and she is monitoring my weight. This is not something I'm doing on my own without her help. :)
On that note - it's time for me to get some Zzzz's. Have a great night everyone.
