Slightly Changing the Game. . .

Hey ya'll I hope all is well on your end. So lemmi give you an update on my journey with the Ultimate Reset. Since we've last talked I've completed Days 3,4,5, & 6. Currently I'm on Day 7 and about to end Phase 1 - Reclaim. Now on these days I've had to make a few adjustments in the meal plan for several reasons:

• There are certain foods I KNOW I don't like and I'm not interested in trying AT ALL!!
• There are some items on the Reset that are Soy based products & choose not to eat those because of the high levels of estrogen. Being that I'm already struggling with a cortisol abnormality my estrogen levels are currently through the roof, so nooooo help needed from my EATS!!
• Lastly I had to alter my eats because I got caught unprepared and ya'll know that's not like #MsAlwaysPrepared 

So lemmi give you a quick overview of each day. . .

• DAY 3 

Now that I'm on the 3rd day of the Reset I find myself a lot more balanced and feeling balanced. Today's breakfast was a pretty much a repeat of Day 1 but instead of eating spinach I enjoyed my beloved kale :) I am here to tell you I left this meal feeling VERY satisfied because as you'll see in the picture I ate an obscene amount of kale and it was sooooo tasty!! Today was my Power Yoga class and I felt so much more flexible and open during my practice. I'm here to tell ya'll that if you're feeling tight & lacking flexibility, in need of a stress reliever or want to gain full body strength & control you should seriously look into Yoga. I know most people feel that its expensive but in the era of Groupons, Living Social deals and everything else they're sending us through email these days you'll be able to find a good deal in your area with no problem (I say this because I'm currently using a Groupon to attend my current classes & I just purchased another discounted month at another Yoga Studio in my area). Anywho lunchtime is when I started making changes but I stayed within the nutrients for the prescribed meal plan. With that being said I decided to go "Next Episode" on the black bean & rice tortilla situation and like last night it was so TASTY, add in my beloved kale and it was a well deserved & earned lunch. Dinner tonight was Nori Rolls w/Tempeh , Japanese cucumber salad  and Miso Soup. Wellllllllll Tempeh is a soy based product so needless to say this meal was not going down tonight. Instead I opted for a repeat of the Greek Salad w/Chicken from Day 2. I want to let ya'll know I have been making my own dressings per the recipes in the Reset and I am SO PROUD of myself. Check out the Garlic Dressing I've been using on the Garlic Salads

• DAY 4 . . . ohhhhhh my ohhhhhh my this is when things started getting a lil hairy. As it turns out ya'll my fiance LC is off on Friday's & Saturday's. So unlike everyone else Thursday night, Friday & Saturday constitutes our weekends around here and this is sometimes when things go haywire like they sort of did this weekend :( Despite the lack of preparedness that I'm going to share with ya'll I will at least give you the good news first which is up until this point I have lost 3.5lbs. I'm not suffering any major hunger pains, no headaches or any uncomfortableness (stay tuned for what's to come though).  Today actually started as an early day seeing as though LC needed to drop his truck at the shop. Then to my surprise he wanted to go ahead and get in early AM cardio/workout which is exactly what we did. Once home I at breakfast as prescribed which was 2 cups of fruit (1 green apple & a cup of blueberries) and a 1/2 cup Greek yogurt but I decided to forgo the whole grain toast and replaced it with a few walnuts. After eating this and continuing to rehydrate myself from the buckets of sweat I was pouring during my cardio session my sweets asked me on a mid-day Date to see The Avengers and as expected it was GREAT. But ummmm NOTE TO SELF: check the length of the movie next time and use the restroom before it starts because having a full bladder makes it hard to focus. . . #kwim!! As luck would have it when we were done LC had me running around with him and I found myself STARVING but I refused to eat anything while we were out so once I returned home and I HULK SMASHED a salad from a previous day in the reset. I'm sorry there was no pics but I would've probably eaten the camera had I tried using it. When dinner arrived I was excited to try Quinoa for the first time along with partaking in some tasty stir-fry veggies. This was so good I had to go back for more veggies leaving me happily satisfied. 

We'll bring this post to a close and move on to DAYS 5 & 6 in the next post where I share with you how things almost fell completely apart
