I will admit, I was a little nervous to be at my own house this weekend during the Reset. My sister was working all weekend so it was just me and our dogs holding down the fort. Last weekend I was out of town with family and had lots of distractions, but it was just me this weekend. Yesterday wasn't too bad in terms of craving terrible-for-me things, but today I noticed I started getting that "I'm bored, hmm what can I eat" thought process late in the day. I looked at my clock and realized it was getting close to dinner so no wonder I was starting to get a little hungry. I had been working on a project and completely lost track of what time it was, so THANK YOU to my stomach for reminding me :-)
Started off the day with fresh fruit again. I enjoyed yesterday cantaloupe/pear combo so much I had that again today. Still delicious and very satisfying. I had gotten into a really bad habit of forgetting to eat breakfast before I would go to church. So if I didn't have time to make my Shakeology and drink it on the way, I would just skip eating anything all together....BAD choice! That just left me really hungry and starting to think about where and what I/we (depending on if my sister is with me) could go eat after we got out of church. And 9 times out of 10 the choices of places and then choices in entrées were never the healthiest choices we could have made.
After church I took the dogs for a quick walk and then prepped my salad for lunch. Same salad for previous days, just cucumbers, tomatoes, and some pumpkin seeds. I'm not a fan of the dressings on the Reset, so plain salad for me it is. Good thing is that I've gotten used to it and it's not as bad anymore.
I've really liked having almonds in the afternoon as part of my snack. It's a great way to satisfy that "crunchy" craving if you're having one. Today I wanted something a little sweeter so I went with a little cantaloupe.
Dinner was different for me. I've never had nor have I ever cooked beets before. I was a little nervous after reading other people comments on them, but they weren't terrible. I would like to add a few more spices to them next time, but on the Reset we are limited in spices so they worked for tonight. I roasted some zucchini and asparagus along with the beets and loved those.
I've been really craving milk over the past two days. When I was growing up, I was the main person who drank milk in my family and I could go through a gallon in a few days (if that long). Pre-Reset as an adult, I've cut back A LOT on how much milk I drink, but not having it at all for 12 days now has finally started getting to me. I will enjoy that first glass when I finally get to have it again :-) Almost finished with Phase 2......9 days to go! Stay tuned....
