Ultimate Reset Day 2...this isn't so bad....or is it?

So day 2 is in the bag and there are only 19 days left of the cleanse. So far I have been enjoying it...hasn't been too bad, but it also hasn't been the weekend yet. Can't wait to pass up the 500 drinks I am offered this weekend. Not only that, its basically a workout in itself just saying no to people. I am envisioning the conversation going something like this: person: "Hey Jaime let me buy you a drink" Me: "no thanks I'm good" person: "why? what are you on a diet?" Me: "No, I'm cleansing"....then I don't hear the end of it for the next hour...not to mention if I did have a drink, my drink of choice is tequila, and that would NOT be good to have while cleansing...I would end up on the bathroom floor. But, there is no way I am hiding in my house for the next 19 days so I'll have to think of wise ass responses before I leave the house.

 I am still experiencing up and down emotions which is fine..I had read before hand that may happen, so I am finding it overall pretty amusing. I cried while watching a commercial last night....a commercial! Meals yesterday were really good, breakfast was really filling, lunch did the job and dinner was surprisingly very large and really good. One thing I need to take into consideration for days to come though is how much time it will take to be prepping my dinners. I didn't start prepping until I was already starving and the dinner took about an hour to make. Towards the end I could hardly read the recipe. The shot of what I like to call "the green shit" was still nasty just like the day before...maybe by day 20 I will be able to stomach it. Below are some pictures of my meals. Overall I am feeling pretty good...I am halfway through the Restore phase, and it seems like a piece of cake thus far....Mmmmmmmm cake.

                       (Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of plain yogurt with a little honey)

 (I forgot to take a picture of lunch so here is dinner: Brown rice, black beans, fresh corn...1/4 a cup of guac, 2 tablespoons of salsa, a serving of spinach with pine nuts, and a corn tortilla)

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
