Ultimate Reset Days 6, 7, and 8-- I'm in to Phase 2!

Sorry guys, life is a little bit crazy over here trying to get all my meal prep done and with the end of the school year (8 days left of work...over the next month.. I can't even explain my schedule ha ha).

Day 6- MOTHER'S DAY
Lucas and I stayed at my mom's since Mike worked overnights so we woke up and had breakfast with her.  Blueberries with yogurt and maple syrup and fresh fruit salad.  SO yummy.  We went to church and came home and played.  Lucas got a little bit testy while I was trying to make my microgreen salad.  

Thankfully I already had my quinoa salad and dressing made so I tossed it together, packed up and we headed home.

When we got home and I was putting away groceries, I dropped my salad dressing and it went everywhere.  Greek Dressing is delicious to eat but TERRIBLE to clean up with the oils.  Not something a mom should have to do on Mother's Day right?

This is from Thursday when I found my inner zen in the sunshine. Exact opposite of what I felt in that moment.

I had my snack of green apple and almonds. Lucas forced 3 goldfish between my clenched teeth. I would have spit them out except he yelled chew chew at me.  This kid!

Then we went to the park to play because it's what we do when it's not cold or raining. 

Came home and I had my supplements and then black beans and rice with baked potato and quinoa.  SO filling and delicious.  Another meal from this program that I could eat on a regular basis and NEVER would have ate before.

Mike asked if I had a relaxing Mother's Day... Not really.  Seemed like a typical day to me :)

Day 7- LAST DAY OF PHASE ONE!

Breakfast was oatmeal with apples and half cup of yogurt with maple syrup.  I didn't realize until later that I forgot flaxseed in my oatmeal :(

This was the first time I drove to work and didn't want to fall asleep behind the wheel so THAT is some major progress right?

Lunch was a repeat of Quinoa salad, Microgreen Salad, 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, and 1 serving dressing.  I was not able to finish it all again and definitely did not eat the pumpkin seeds.  Amazing how much healthy food fills me up so much faster than processed crap.

Note to self- remember to take dressing out to unthaw oil 30 minutes prior to eating so you don't have to unthaw it in a teacup. 

Final product was beautiful. 

Snack was raspberries and yogurt... no cinnamon because I forgot.  I feel a lot more awake but apparently I am forgetting a lot lol 

Supper was a repeat of black beans and rice with baked potato and 1/3 cup quinoa... never gets old. And it's so easy to make.

DAY 8- PHASE TWO

Well I felt like I was going to die week one but I didn't.  So I know I can make it through Phase 2 as well.  Detox.  I lost 2.5 pounds in Week 1, which for my size I was VERY excited about.  I am seeing a number on the scale that I haven't seen in 2 years (I lost a ton of weight post-pregnancy, definitely had no issues losing my baby weight thank God).  

Here is a breakdown of what my Phase 2 will look like:

Week 2-Release Day 1

6:30- 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox

7:00- Fresh fruit plate (3 cups)

10:30- 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox

11:00- Microgreen salad, 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup sliced avocado, 1 serving dressing

1:30-2:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, Power Greens

2:30 1 cup blueberries and 1 medium green apple

5:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox, 2 capsules Soothe

5:30 1 serving Kabocha squash or acorn squash with garlic-tahini filling and 1 cup steamed broccoli 

I planned on microgreen salad quite a bit because I bought WAY too much salad mix last week but I wish I hadn't so I could have more pinto and beans which I will have in later days.

The Detox looks disgusting but after the power greens, it's really not bad.  It has an orangey flavor.. if I could get past the texture of the drink it would actually probably be relaly good.

I was SO nervous about supper.  I had to order miso paste and tahini sauce off Amazon Prime and I had no idea what they were... I still don't to be honest.

But it was AMAZING.  Like lick your plate amazing. Like give me more more more amazing. Another food that is definitely going to be a staple in my house.  And it took me about a minute to make the sauce which I can think of a dozen foods that I would use it on.

No negative side effects from the Detox 

yet, a.k.a. I'm not crapping my pants.  

I do miss working out but Lucas keeps me busy. He's in a climbing stage and somehow managed to climb on top of my head last night when I tried to brush his teeth.

Gotta love my husband who snaps pics instead of helping me. Ha!

Here is a final warning before I end this:
