Overview of the day: I woke up to teach my 6 am Boot Camp class and I was exhausted because I went to bed too late! I was REALLY missing my Energize (my pre-workout drink), but by the time I came back home, I felt great! Full of energy, and just felt "light!" I started feeling more mentally clear and accomplished most of my "to-do" list!!
This is my third day on the Ultimate Reset, a 21 day cleanse.
The spring weather is a bit rainy and cooler than the past few days, and I was cold all day, but this is a common side effect.
I missed my chewing gum less today, so that helps A LOT! I stilled missed it at certain moments, mostly after meals. I would chew gum to freshen my breath and cleanse my palette. Since I'm not chewing gum, I've decided to brush my teeth after each meal. That means I'm brushing 4 times per day, but that will mean cleaner teeth!! A bonus side effect. LOL! I love that I've been able to conquer this unhealthy habit. If someone had told me that I'd stop chewing gum, I wouldn't have believed them!
If you've been following me the past few days, I've been posting about what I eat an also the supplements I'm taking that come in the Ultimate Reset kit. I'll give detailed information about the supplements in my coming posts, but today I included info below about the Power Greens supplement.
You're not supposed to exercise while doing the Ultimate Reset because your internal body is doing a lot of work and you don't want to take energy away from your organs by exercising. However, a 20-30 minute walk or yoga is recommended!
Because I teach fitness classes, I do mostly demonstrating in the classes, and modify the moves. Being the instructor allows me to do that; "it's not my workout, it's your workout," I tell my class. 😉 I also modify by having an extra snack, as the program specifically recommended for fitness instructors!
But since I had the energy, I did the sneak peek of the upcoming new Beachbody workout You V.2. It was SO MUCH FUN!! It reminded me of the fitness classes I used to teach when I first started teaching. If you love dancing, and want to have fun without realizing you're sweating, check out this video!!
This workout will be released on Beachbody On Demand in May, so that is super exciting!
So today's challenge was timing. I was so busy, that I didn't get home to eat dinner until 8:45 pm, and forgot to take my pre-dinner Optimize and Soothe until 8:25 pm, so I didn't wait the 30 minutes I should have, but by that time I was hungry!
Detox Effects
Being cold! This is a side effect mentioned in the Ultimate Reset booklet. As my body releases the toxins, and I chug water all day, it makes me cold. So, I worked all day with my space heater beside me!! Hoping it gets better soon!
Today's Menu:
8:00 am: 24 oz water with Mineralize and Optimize supplements
8:30 am : Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs, generous portion of steamed kale, whole grain toast
- Thoughts: I put the kale and the eggs on the toast like an open faced sandwich. This made the toast seem less dry and I was able to eat the kale!
noon: Lunch - Lentil Lime Salad and Microgreen Salad with Greek Dressing
- Thoughts: I've eaten lentil soup before, but made like this, they were mushy and bland! I didn't enjoy them at all! Still love the microgreen salad and the pumpkin seeds make the dish! I have a KitchenAid Cook's Mezzaluna
I bought on Amazon and I used it today to chop the salad. It made it delicious, a perfect balance and blend of ingredients!

3 pm : Snack - Vegan Cafe Latte Shakeology
8:25 pm: Mineralize, Optimize, Soothe supplements
- Thoughts: Even though the sushi roll, didn't really come out like a roll (it sort of fell apart when I cut it), it tasted ok. A little bland, but filling, and loved all the textures of the rice, crunchy veggies, and creamy avocado in the roll.
