I am combining two posts into one because honestly, the last two days haven't been very exciting. I'll start with my food choices, because that's the whole reason I started this blog! I'm sorry if some of my posts have been rambling, but I just wanted to give a real-time account of how the Reset was affecting me.
I had fruit for breakfast both days. It actually wasn't so bad. The trouble I have with fruit is that it takes a long time to prepare. You have to wash it and then, depending on the fruit, it can take forever to cut, take out the seeds, trim the bad spots...I know I am exaggerating, but that's how it feels to me.
I ate lunch at the breakfast reataurant both yesterday and today. I had a salad with a side of black beans both days, anddd I maybe stole a few bites of pancakes. And hashed browns. And maybe a decaf almond milk latte. And I don't think it actually ended up being decaf today, as I had the shakes all afternoon. That's what I get for cheating ha!
Dinner was leftover vegetable miso soup both days. Not too exciting, but still really good and filling. If you've ever made soup at home, you know how it gets better the longer it sits. Yesterday I paired it with a leftover sweet potato. Today was a side of coconut collard greens. I definitely was craving something more hearty, but both dinners were surprisingly filling.

I also had a work event to go to, which of course involved both food and alcohol. I was good and stuck to a bottle of water, even though the whole room was filled with the smell of bbq. YUM. I did have one moment where we were all doing a toast and somebody ended up handing me a glass of champagne. I carried it around for about 15 minutes and went back and forth in my mind about having a sip, drinking the whole thing or not drinking any. I actually ended up not drinking any of it, but decided to have a bite of a cookie...I guess that shows you where my priorities lie!
I have finally figured out why I am pretty much over doing the Reset. It's not because I am just really craving eating bad food again. I actually don't necessarily want to do that. It's has to do with my "why." The reason why I decided to do the Reset was this: to get back on track with my diet. I had been eating out too much and drinking too much and I just felt blah. Well, after week two, I felt like I had reached that goal! I am eating healthier and feel better than I have in a long time. I have more energy and would like to keep up with the no caffeine and reduced sugar diet. I think because my brain feels like it has reached that goal, it thinks that I don't need to stick with the plan! On top of that, I really want to start working out again, which I am not supposed to do during the Reset.
Now that I know what my mind is thinking, I can tackle the problem! Also, it's the last three days, so I am going to really try my hardest to follow the plan exactly.
I'm excited to share my final results in a few days, along with my plan for once I'm finished! More on that tomorrow.
Never enough sleep (or maybe enough, but not as much as I WANT).
