Ultimate Reset: Day 6

Day 6: Exhaustion!

Today on the Ultimate Reset (a 21 Day Cleanse), I was exhausted. I helped my husband hang some pictures in his office, did a yoga workout, did some work, and snuggled up with my family and watched a movie. I'm not sure if it was due to the rainy, dreary weather, but I was dragging all day! I read that this is a common side effect, so I'm hoping it passes soon!

What I would do for a cup of coffee or some Energize! I weaned myself off coffee a week before I start, so I wouldn't have caffeine withdrawal symptoms, but man I miss my Saturday morning ritual of coffee and reading a book. Then sometimes if I have an afternoon where I'm dragging, I treat myself to a cup of coffee...I feel a little down without it! I'm definitely mourning my afternoon coffee date with myself! As for the morning, I actually don't miss it so much then!

BUT, my digestion is probably the best it's ever been and I've lost 3 pounds!!

Tomorrow is the last day of Phase 1 and next week we eliminate all animal protein. I don't mind so much, but I will miss eggs and yogurt.

Today's menu

9 am: 24 oz water with Mineralize and Optimize supplements

9:30 minutes later: Breakfast - Baked Tempeh, Steamed Kale, Avocado

• Thoughts: I would NEVER eat this breakfast by choice! The tempeh was better than I expected. The recipe calls for marinating it before cooking. The avocado was just too plain by itself, and the steamed kale...I hope to never have to eat a piece of steamed kale again! Blech! I choked it down!

11:30 am: Mineralize and Optimize supplements

1:20 pm: Lunch - Microgreen Salad and Baked Sweet Potato

2 hours later: Super Greens powder with water

30 minutes later: Snack - Vegan Chocolate Shakeology + banana + peanut butter

I had to drink it in the car while my daughter was sleeping...and I spilled it. I ALMOST cried.












3:30: Mineralize, and Power Greens supplements

30 minutes later: Dinner - Zucchini Cashew Soup and Roasted Root Vegetables

• Thoughts: The only thing that saved dinner was the soup! I don't like beets, I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, and I can't stand cooked carrots. So, I choked those down. The soup was creamy and delicious. A little bland, but creamy and decadent in texture, so next time I make it I'll put more dill it in. Click here for the recipe.

Supplement Information - Soothe

This is how the Ultimate Reset describes Soothe:

Soothe is a one-of-a-kind supplement that combines two incredible botanicals: aloe vera and curcumin. Aloe vera is a succulent plant long used in traditional healing to relieve minor cuts, burns, and insect bites. Aloe vera has also been traditionally used to support digestive health and the body's response to oxidative stress. Curcumin, a household remedy in India that's long been a staple in ayurvedic medicine, is a natural extract of the spice turmeric. Like aloe vera, curcumin promotes digestive health and is known for its antioxidant properties that help the body fight free radical damage.

Our organic aloe vera is harvested to ensure that only the mature leaves are picked, and filleted to keep only the beneficial gel. These careful steps allow us to bring you pure and potent aloe vera that's freeze-dried and powdered to help preserve its beneficial compounds. The resulting product has a 200x concentration for potency.

See you tomorrow!
