Ok, so remember I said you're not supposed to workout while doing the Reset....well, Wednesday nights is my night to teach Turbo Kickboxing so I taught last week (day 1) and I taught tonight (day 8) but I won't be teaching next week. I've been walking my dogs and doing some light stretching but nothing too strenuous. Last Monday wasn't too bad in terms of energy throughout my class, but tonight was a little tougher. Definitely had to "dig deep" (as Shaun T would say) to pull out the energy tonight. There's a reason they say to not do heavy workouts while going through the Reset and I learned that lesson tonight.
A lot of the breakfasts during this phase are fruit so I warn you now...it'll be a lot of fruit combinations :-) Today I had cantaloupe, strawberries, and blackberries. I didn't feel hungry this morning for whatever reason so it was a struggle to get all of the fruit down, but it was a ton of fruit and filled me up.
Lunch was a salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and pumpkin seeds. Nothing too exciting, but it kept me full until snack time. Keep in mind the breakfast and lunch bowl are a lot deeper than what is shown here so I'm eating more than what you can see.
My snack today was fruit with some almonds. I increased the portion size a bit because I knew I was going to be working out and needed the extra calories to compensate.
Dinner was another soup concoction of sweet potato with roasted red pepper and spices. When I finished it I had to laugh because it looked like baby food. My sister was sweet enough to help me out with prepping this meal so a big THANK YOU to her! I also increased the veggies serving size and added 1/3 cup of brown rice. Again, I was only adding the portions sizes because I knew I had burned a lot of calories in my workout and didn't want to be at too much of a caloric deficit for the day.
It turned out pretty good and I loved the asparagus!! I'm excited for the meals tomorrow but now time to go get them all prepped and ready to go. Stay tuned....
