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!
