My Ultimate Reset : Day One.

Alright you guys!!

My last post shared WHY I am doing the Ultimate Reset. 

This post is all about my first day!

So far... I am LOVING the Ultimate Reset!

I woke up at 7am so I could drink my Mineralized Distilled water & take my 2 Optimize capsules.

(I'll have a post later this weekend specifically on all the supplements and WHY I am taking them.)

I waited the 30 minutes, cooked while I waited & and then chowed down on this beauty!

This is super simple: 

Just 1 slice of 100% Whole Wheat Ezekiel toast

2 scrambled organic eggs cooked in 1 tsp. EVOO

1.5 cups of steamed Kale

OK... not going to lie. The Kale made me gag. It was a mental challenge FOR SURE. I've had kale many times before, but not completely plain. So I have some ideas to try.... I will season it a little next time and I will steam it a little longer. 

Speaking of STEAMER... I stumbled across a GENIUS way to improvise in the kitchen. I don't have a steamer. I usually pop veggies in the microwave -- you know... 'STEAMABLES'. 

So anyway, I will probably buy a steamer some day soon... but until then... look what I found!

Put 3 SAME SIZE balls of aluminum in a pan. Place them in a triangle.

Bring to a boil (put plate on first - it's easier).

Add plate that can withstand high heat.

Add KALE.

Cover.

Steam it up!

-GENIUS-

So, after breakfast, I went TO BREAKFAST with two of my friends! I accidentally committed before I remembered it was my FIRST day of the UR.

Don't worry. I didn't cheat. I just drank more mineralized distilled water & enjoyed the company. 

Then I went on a HUNT for miso paste. NO LUCK. If you do this UR, get your miso paste in advance ;) I think I will just order it online. 

I waited 2 hours after breakfast time until I have more Mineralized Distilled water & 2 capsules of Optimize. RIGHT. ON. SCHEDULE.

30 minutes later -- LUNCH TIME. 

My original plan was to have some miso soup with my salad, but you know that was a big fat failure. So I went to plan B.

Lentil-Lime Salad

1 cup cooked lentils

1 medium carrot shredded

1/4 cup cilantro (oops forgot that at the store)

1.5 tsp Sesame Oil

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Bragg Liquid Amino

Himalayan Salt

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

I added TOO much liquid amino ;) It was a tad salty tasting, but overall - it was good. My husband will LOVE this one.

I was so full after that!! I was suppose to also have a salad and toasted pumpkin seeds but I was STUFFED... and to be brutally honest... I was EXHAUSTED! I'm not sure if it's the reset or if it is a coincidence. Either way... I turned on some ocean wave sound track & PASSED OUT for 2 hours!

I never do that.

It was awesome.

 I woke up from my nap (see the robe) and got busy with my Mineralized Distilled water & Alkalinize... the green stuff.

Here is the deal with Alkalinize. It looks scarier than it really is.

YES: it smells like a turnip garden. 

YES: it looks like paint.

But... its not too bad -- just with 2-4oz. of water. Chug that baby!

So you wait 30 minutes and then you have the option for a snack. I decided to have the SALAD that was suppose to be with my lunch for my snack.

Secret about me. I really don't like salad. Unless it has a TON of fruit in it. I am not a big fan of dressings. So... this meal is all out of my comfort zone. But I did it anyway.

I chopped all my veggies up and made it pretty... because that makes me happy.

This is called the Microgreen Salad. Such a pretty name even!

3 cups baby spinach

1/4 medium carrot shredded

1/2 medium cucumber

1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced

1/4 cup sprouts

1/2 medium tomato, chopped

1/4 cup chopped jicama (Whole Foods was out!)

1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro (remember I forgot it)

Then the homemade dressing I chose was Creamy Garlic Dressing:

1/2 cup EVOO

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

3 cloves crushed garlic

3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp. Himalayan Salt (the pink stuff!)

1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp. raw honey

It was tasty... but I couldn't finish it all! Whats wrong with me? This girl can EAT!

I also had 1/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds. That was a nice CRUNCH!

For dinner, I am REALLY craving my Shakeology. So I think I will go with my Vegan Chocolate. Nothing crazy, just mixed in the blender with water, natural almond butter & ice.

I have a dull headache, but thats my own fault - I didn't stop drinking coffee earlier this week.

When I added in half a lemon to my mineralized distilled water - it tasted SO much better to me!

I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!

I will be going to bed EARLY tonight.

I scheduled a massage.

I have BATH BOMBS from Lush to take a bath tomorrow night.

All is well!

Thanks for reading!
