Ultimate Reset Update!

What I miss:

• Chocolate: not like chocolate candies, but ooey gooey warm chocolate treats

• My daily morning tea (but I can still have herbal tea during the reset!)

• Wine

• My homemade caramel ice cream: it is like crack it is so good!

What I thought I would miss:

• I really thought I would miss chewing gum but I have actually been okay with that.

• I have always considered myself to be a “meat eater” but I actually haven’t missed meat that much!

My snack: fresh blueberries and raspberries! 

What I have learned:

• That I am strong enough to resist temptation!

• That I have become dependent on sweets at night

• That I love jicama

• That I love steamed kale!

• That I love yams! Seriously. Lately I have not been craving chocolate, meat, or processed foods, but a dinner we made on Day 6! I may have to sneak it into this Phase!

My breakfast: a green apple and blueberries! 

My progress: So far so good! I am currently on Day 11 (over halfway there!). I had a headache around Days 7-9 but I am feeling much better now. I just finished a ten minute stretch and realized that if I want to be able to do my workouts after not doing them for 21 days I will need to get used to long workouts again! So, tomorrow I plan to do X Stretch from the p90x program. It is an amazing hour long stretch workout from the p90x program.

 One day I had a little "bonus" dessert: banana, peanut butter, and honey! Yum yum yum!

Cravings: As far as cravings go I find unless I am exposed to images of unhealthy food. I have never realized until now how we are constantly exposed to unhealthy food! When I went to the movie theater I noticed how strong the smell of popcorn was. When I watch TV I notice all of the images of unhealthy food. I have been pretty hungry the past couple of days but I just add in more of the allowed food and I am fine!

When I started Week 2 I had a little trouble with one of the supplements. This supplement is called Detox. I actually liked the taste, it has a pleasant lemon taste to it. However, whenever I tried to mix it in a glass most of it would sink to the bottom of the glass and the texture of that would really bother me. So I decided to try something new: I decided to mix it in a bowl! Now I actually enjoy taking it! I hope this helps some of my fellow “resetters” out there!

I can’t believe I am almost halfway done! After much debate I have finally decided what I want to do next. Before I started the reset I was about three weeks into Insanity. Since you aren’t supposed to do intense exercise during the reset I obviously had to stop Insanity. So, I plan to restart Insanity a week after I finish the reset. Then, after that I plan to do Insanity the Asylum Vol. 1 so I will be ready for The Asylum Vol.2 when it comes out later this year! I can’t wait for Vol. 2! They said Apolo Ohno uses that program to train… sounds legit to me!
