Ultimate Reset Phase 2

So I've been so busy cooking that I haven't had a lot of free time to blog.  So here is a recap of Days 9-13 of the Ultimate Reset.  I am on my last day today and ready to start Phase 3 tomorrow but a little apprehensive as Phase 3 is eating only fruits and vegetables.... EEK.

Week 2-Release Day 2- Wednesday 
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 acorn squash with garlic tahini filling and 1 cup steamed broccoli  

Recap:  I am not loving the toasted pumpkin seeds because you aren't supposed to drink water with your meal so I've only been tossing a few in with my salad.  My dressing this week isn't as good as last week (must have missed a seasoning or something) or otherwise I am just getting over the microgreen salad.  Still raving about the acorn squash with garlic tahini filling... SO good!  

This is what the detox drink looks like for those of you wondering. Much better than power greens. 

Week 2-Release Day 3-Thursday 
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- ½ serving Pinto beans and rice, microgreen salad, 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, 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 pinto beans and rice, 1 cup steamed zucchini, 1 cup green beans with lemon juice and 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil



Recap:  It felt so good to have something warm with my lunch.  You aren't supposed to use a microwave on the Ultimate Reset but I'm not going to lie... I did.  I am not going to go hunt down a stove while I'm at work and it has been so cold, I needed something warm and this was really easy to make!



Week 2-Release Day 4-Friday 
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- ½ serving Pinto beans and rice, microgreen salad, 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, 1 serving dressing
1:30-2:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, Power Greens
2:30 1 cup blueberries and an apple
5:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox, 2 capsules Soothe
5:30 sweet potato and roasted red pepper bisque and roasted asparagus with slivered almonds

Recap:  I had a personal day today so it was nice to be able to eat at home.  I had to substitute my afternoon snack for an apple and berries since that was easier to take on the go then 3 cups veggies with 3 tbsp ginger sesame miso dressing.

Now supper...oh supper.  I spent 40 minutes making the most beautiful bisque....



I took a few sips.  It was good.  Not great.  A few more.  Nope.  Couldn't do it.  If I had been able to dip bread in it, it would have been delicious but just the bisque and asparagus... I had to toss it.  

That's how my day went.  I went for a pedicure and had to wait 40 minutes with my feet in lukewarm water (someone else complained and the girl snapped at her that it was because all of the chairs were going at the same time and there was nothing she could do about it). 



 I got my hair ripped off my body.  

The one highlight of my day was getting my face mapped at Ulta.  I highly recommend you do it.  I was interested in trying the Dermatologica products but my fabulous aesthitician actually recommended a few cheaper, more organic products for me.  She told me I had good skin (YES!) and pointed out a few areas of blackheads that I didn't even realize that I had.

Of course I had to come home and confess to my husband how much money I had spent... that wasn't easy.  Apparently I am binge shopping now instead of binge eating.  

Week 2-Release Day 5-Saturday
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- Shakeology 
1:30-2:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, Power Greens
2:30 1 cup blueberries and an apple 
5:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox, 2 capsules Soothe
5:30 quinoa-lentil pilaf, 1 ½ cups steamed broccoli with lemon juice and 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Ahhhh Saturday.  The day when it all went KAPUT.  So I got my hair done in the morning and I completely failed to plan... I got home at 12:15 and I was hungry and tired.  So I downed a Shakeology and called it good for my lunch.  Now, you can have Shakeology as a SNACK on this plan.  You probably are not supposed to eat it as your lunch.  But it was that or binge eat on something else so I did what I needed to do.



Supper was also delicious although I didn't get to eat until 7:00 because we were in Sioux Falls running errands.  I may have lost my shit on my poor husband when I was trying to cook and Lucas was demanding my attention... In my defense, I sat there and fed Lucas a slice of cheese pizza while he got to eat his pizza in peace.. Oh pizza.  I think I miss you most of all.  But I apologized and all was well.

Week 2-Release Day 6-Sunday 
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- quinoa-lentil pilaf, cucumber and tomato salad, ¼ sliced medium avocado
1:30-2:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, Power Greens
2:30 1 cup berries and 1 green apple 
5:00 12-24 ounces Mineralized water, 2 capsules Optimize, 1 packet Detox, 2 capsules Soothe
5:30 hearty vegetable miso soup, 1 sweet potato, 1 cup steamed Swiss chard with lemon juice and 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Today was a better day.  My lunch was delicious leftovers and I was able to stick to my eating times.

Supper was interesting... I was a little hesitant about the swiss chard but I should have been more hesitant about the seaweed in my Miso soup.  The more I thought about where it came from and the fact that it all clumped together... well... let's just say I picked all the seaweed out of my soup.  And then it was delicious.  Thankfully my husband likes seaweed and appreciated it so money was not wasted.



Overall I can definitely tell that I am less tired and more energetic.  My complexion is clearing up (although that may be the new products ha ha).  The things I miss are MEAT.... being able to eat something healthy on the go... and coffee.  And the dishes.... So many dishes.



One more week left.. I can do this!
