Ultimate Reset: Day 4

Day 4: I can do this! I'm doing pretty good - oh, wait, should I eat this graham cracker?

Even though I had zero energy today, it's not because of the Ultimate Reset (21 day cleanse), it's because I went to bed too late for two consecutive nights and because last night I was up all night with my sore knee.

No time for a nap today with my crazy schedule, but I stayed strong.....EVEN when I met a friend of mine at the Waffle Shop for breakfast. We were supposed to go to Starbucks, where I planned to order a cup of tea, but she hadn't eaten breakfast, and even though I had already eaten my 3 cups of fruit, I met her, and still only had caffeine free tea!! Never did I think about ordering pancakes or waffles or bacon! I'm determined!

However, I was really late with my lunch - I didn't get to eat it until 2:30 pm!! After breakfast, I did errands, had physical therapy, and taught a fitness class.  As I was driving around in my car all day before I had lunch, I noticed my son had left one graham cracker in a baggie in the back seat...I knew it was still hours until I could eat lunch. I thought about eating it: "It's just ONE graham cracker...." BUT, I knew if I ate that, I wasn't staying true to the process. I am committed!

I missed chewing gum much less today. I miss it most after a meal, when I want to freshen my breath, and get the flavor of what I ate out of my mouth. So, now I brush my teeth. Not quite the same feeling, but the results are the same.

With this post, I will start giving info about the supplements I take daily. Below, after the menu, check out today's description of Power Greens.

Today's Menu:


8:30 am: 24 oz water with Mineralize and Optimize supplements

9 am: Breakfast - Three cups of fruit. Doesn't it look gorgeous and colorful? AND, greek yogurt drizzled with honey.

11:30 am: Mineralize and Optimize supplements

2:30 pm: Lunch - Lentil Lime Salad and Vegetable Sushi Roll

• Thoughts: I DO NOT LIKE LENTILS!! They work in a soup, but they are just mushy and tasteless prepared this way... The sushi roll was tasty, full of veggies, avocado, and smoked tempeh. I did miss the soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi, though. 

4:30 pm: Power Greens powder with water

5:00 pm: Snack - Vegan Vanilla Shakeology (the other new flavor) + 1/2 banana

7:00 pm: Mineralize, Optimize, Revitalize supplements

7:30 pm: Dinner - Veggie stir fry with quinoa, tomato cucumber salad

• Thoughts: Delish dinner! The stir fry is made with sesame oil, liquid aminos, and himalayan sea salt. And the tomato-cucumber salad had chopped fresh herbs in it - tasted like a fresh, summer dish!! 

POWER GREENS

Power Greens is a combination of six powerful greens, including kale, cucumber, celery, spinach, Matcha green tea, and chlorella, each known for providing their own unique benefits, and now brought together to form the perfect "green team." Many people don't like the taste, but I mix it with a squeeze of lemon, and I don't mind the taste. It has a grassy, earthy flavor, but not overwhelming.

The Ultimate Reset booklet description of power greens:

The common diet of highly processed foods, sugary treats, soda pop, alcohol, and other items deemed "acidic" can negatively influence the body's optimum responses and balances, causing stress to the system. This means your body needs to work harder just to stay in its natural sweet spot (a state known as homeostasis), and maintain the stability of your internal environment.

The Ultimate Reset program is built around supporting the internal balances needed for optimum health and well-being.

The body is a complex organism. Balance is key. And so are greens. Keep the green team on your side.

Day 5 coming at you tomorrow!
