Ultimate Reset Day 2
I woke up today with a slight headache, but felt better soon after rising. ( wish i could say that about our poor little dog who coughed all night)
We enjoyed a nice warm breakfast of oatmeal with blueberries and a side of Greek yogurt sweetened with pure grade b maple syrup. This was very satisfying on a cold rainy morning. ( sorry forgot to take pics) We both agreed that the oatmeal kept us feeling fuller longer today than the eggs from yesterday.
I felt a little more organized today than yesterday. Starting to get the hang of things and the timing of supplements. I also prepared a few thing in advance so that REALLY helps.
Lunch was our last of our meat products. It consisted of a tossed salad with chicken and balsamic vinegar. ( I really like Balsamic Vinegar as a dressing) I savored every bite of my chicken and chewed it as slow as I could to make it last as this is the last meal we have with meat for the next 19 days.
WATER WATER WATER AGAIN=PEE Although not as much as yesterday but still many trips. (probably TMI but hey it's part of my journey...LOL)
So with the rainy day, I stayed home and started studying for my Personal Trainer certification. It's been awhile since I had to study so I really had to focus and go slow.
I set a reminder on my phone for my Alkalinize (aka "shot time" It really isn't that bad, sorta like salty spinach with grass. I chased it with a squeeze of lemon.
Felt pretty good this afternoon, had a burst of energy and sort of a euphoric feeling so I wiped down counter tops and stone back splashes with Mr Clean (Gain scented is the bomb!) along with door knobs and the trash can. Pretty productive I might say...
Snack Time!! woohoo! I worked up an appetite . I had a boiled egg and 6 saltine crackers
I prepared our dinner and discovered I LOVE KALE! I steamed it for 3 minutes and then squeezed fresh lemon juice and tossed it with a few pine nuts. OMG! I scarfed it down! Just one serving of kale gives you more than your daily quota of immune-boosting vitamin A, bone-strengthening vitamin K and vitamin C. YOU SHOULD BE EATING THIS!!!
The rest of the meal was great because it was a bit Mexican. Black beans and rice with corn. This will make a great "meatless Monday " dish.
BLACK BEANS AND RICE
Recipe:
1 can black beans
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 teas. cumin
1/2 - 1 tea chili powder ( depends on your taste)
salt and pepper
Cook beans til hot and drain. Mix with rice, corn and add seasonings. Cook on stove top until everything is warm .
Serve on corn tortillas and top with salsa, cilantro and guacamole or sliced avocado
Hard to see my food on my plates, but they are so pretty!!
Well day 2 has come to an end.. pretty good day! ( except I am feeling a bit hungry now that it is bedtime, but I will drink some more water and sleep on it)
See ya tomorrow!
