First, I'd like to thank everyone for following my journey, and sending me thoughtful, encouraging messages! You guys, motivate me, and help me keep going!
Today, I felt great! I felt light, and energetic! I've taught 9 fitness classes this week, and had plenty of energy to get through them, so my modifications are working! I'm adding in a daily snack of Shakeology, which is eating more than on the Reset plan, but I don't want to feel run down, or get too hungry, so I'm adding that extra snack!
I taught 2 fitness classed today: Boot Camp at 6 a.m., this is when I REALLY miss my Energize, and then a TRX class at 9:30 a.m. Then, I came home to work, clean the house, and walk the dog. Plenty of energy to do all of this, AND ----> I'm NOT HUNGRY!!
8:30 am: 24 oz water with Mineralize and Optimize supplements
9:00 am minutes later: Breakfast - Farina cereal with apple and walnuts.
- Thoughts: If you don't know what Farina is, it's just another name for Cream of Wheat or Cream of Rice. I didn't even have to buy it, because we already had it in the cupboard. However, I don't care for walnuts, so I substituted pecans, and the recipe called for maple syrup, which I also don't care for, and I didn't think it needed any sweetener. The apple made it sweet enough. It was a bit cool here this morning, so it was the perfect warm, comforting breakfast.
noon: minutes later: Lunch - Quinoa Salad with Hummus & Veggies
- Thoughts: LOVED the Quinoa Salad Recipe! (Click for the recipe). It was flavorful with the olives, parsley, and mint.
2:30pm: Power Greens powder with water
3:00 pm: Snack - The new flavor of Vegan Vanilla Shakeology + 1/2 banana
This keeps me from craving any sweets, and gives me that extra energy for my fitness classes.
5:30 pm: Mineralize, Optimize, Revitalize supplements
6:20 pm: Dinner - Veggie stir fry with brown rice, and miso soup
- Thoughts: We had activities for the boys from 5:30 pm to 6:15 pm and then again from 7 pm to 8 pm. So, instead of coming home for dinner, my husband and the boys wanted to go out for pizza. I brought my veggie stir fry, rice, and miso soup with me. While the pizza place smelled delicious (one of the best smells there is), I didn't even want it. My digestive system is running smoothly, I feel light and energetic, I didn't want any greasy pizza weighing me down.
9:00 pm: My husband and I sat down to watch TV and he made air popped popcorn as a snack. It smelled so good, and now I was a little hungry. So, I did have one cup of blueberries just so I wouldn't eat the popcorn. This is a specified snack on the Reset, so I still stayed on track.
I take Optimize capsules 3x a day, as specified on the plan.
The Ultimate Reset description of Optimize
Enzymes initiate millions of reactions within the body each moment. They are responsible for nearly every bodily function, including vision, growth, and respiration, as well as the storage and release of energy. Without enzymes, life simply can't exist.
As we age, our enzyme levels and activity can decrease. Couple this with poor diet, stress, or other environmental factors, and we can find ourselves in a state of enzyme deficiency, impacting various bodily functions – including how we absorb and digest nutrients.
Optimize is a proprietary blend of systemic and digestive enzymes that function to help catalyze various natural processes of the body. These enzymes, such as protease, bromelain, amylase, and lipase, can also help support nutrient absorption and bioavailability. Added camu-camu fruit supplies vitamin C to help promote health and wellness as well as optimal body function.
I'm off to bed! The Reset has really made me tune into my bodily processes and when I need sleep. And it is a WHOLE cleanse, and recommends putting away technology and TV before bed, and reading a book or practicing mindful breathing instead! G'night!
