Grocery Shopping and Day 1!
Well what an experience it was grocery shopping for the
Ultimate Reset! I made my list for the first few days while sitting at an all
day baseball tournament. I literally went day by day and looked at the recipes
and food I would need. I have bought foods that I have never even heard of
being a Meat and Potatoes girl raised in the South. This is going to be such an
experience for me. I ended up going to Targets who had most everything I needed
for the first few days, then to a Local Fresh Market grocery store where I
thought I would be able to find the rest of what I needed but that was a no go.
So I then found myself at Publix picking up sandwich meets for my kids school
lunches and find a few things I needed.
So I went Home Sunday night ready to get ready for the week
and started digging into the recipes.. Well day 1 was all stuff I could fix
Monday morning before work or when I got home so that is exactly what I did. However,
I did go through the spice cabinet and clean it out. We had stuff in there from
like 2-3 years ago or longer. Basically I got organized and got my mind wrapped
about what was about to take place.
What is taking place? The more I read about the Ultimate
Reset and the more I watch success videos I get more excited and alittle bit
nervous. I really didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into until I
get the kit it and started reading. What I knew: There was some stuff I had to
take several times a day. I knew there
was no exercising for 21 days. I knew it was eating Clean and Healthy. I knew
distilled water was involved. What I didn’t know: There are a lot of food out
there that I knew nothing about like Tempeh. That really after the 21 days that
exercise should be kept at 50% of your ability for the first week and then full
steam ahead. Something I found interesting it said that you should stay away
from alcohol (for me wine) for at least a month after the rest is over. I fully planned on rewared
myself with some 50 Shades of Grey Wine the weekend after. I can see the point
that because you are removing all of these toxins from your body and drinking
wine would quickly return them and probably make you sick. I also didn’t know
that it would help to clear out “emotional bag.” Not only is this a reset to
get all of the toxin out of your body but some have said it really helped to
clear their mind and get ready of any emotional baggage they were carrying
around. Last but not least, I didn’t know there would not be a substitute list
for things I just can’t stomach: Spinach, Kale (though it is not to bad),
Cucumbers, Berries and a few others.
Day 1 is over in the books so how did it go! Well I think it
went pretty well. I only messed up a few times. Like I got up and took my
morning medicine (not reset supplements) with normal water and then forgot to
take my last round of supplements 30 minutes before I ate. Well know I know if
I forget I can take it 2 hours after I eat! Good to know. I did have 1 cup of
Organic Green tea with some honey in it instead of coffee because I was
dragging!
By lunch at 11am I was getting hungry but had to have my
supplements first. I took them, waited my 30 minutes and then ate my salad. It
was okay filing but by 1pm I was starving and I had to wait until 2pm to take
my Alkalinize (nasty stuff every made I think) and then wait thirty minutes
before I could have a snack. After my apples and 12 raw almonds (yeah I had to
count them) I felt better. I finished the day at work and ran by the store to
get a fresh piece of Salmon. I went home and marinated the fish while starting
to prep food for the next couple of days knowing that they were going to be
crazy! I fixed rice, lentils, chicken, hardboiled eggs, my dinner for Tuesday
night since we have baseball from the time I get off work until 7pm. It was around 8pm on Monday before I got
everything prepped and ready and man was I wore out.
Day 1 was not bad at all and the food was good. The big
thing for me was not being able to get out during lunch to socialize and
sticking with the timing when things need to be eaten or taken. None of the
food n day 1 was stuff I had not heard of though Kale was something I had not
tried and I am really not a fan of since I have tried. I was given a recipe on
how to prepare it better but since it calls for milk and cinnamon I am not sure
about using it while on the reset.
When I woke up on Day 2 I felt refreshed and ready to go! I
haven’t slept that good or through the night in a few weeks.
More to come! I will be blogging everyday to document my
experience and to share my results!
