I went to bed last night with a bad headache. I know the headache had nothing to do with the reset but rather the drive into work. During the school year, with the drive and the stress of work, I would get headaches everyday which could lead to a migraine. Since summer has started, the headaches have been minimal. I'm trying not to take anything for headaches during the reset. Sleep definitely helps them. I woke up this morning, and I still had a bit of a dull pain, but it in no way compares to yesterday. It's the stress in my shoulders and neck from the drive. I told Brandon last night that he was welcome to massage my shoulders. He didn't bite.
Weighed myself this morning. I lost 1.5 pounds since yesterday morning. I've lost 6.4 pounds total.
BREAKFAST--8:16 am
Meal 19 of 63:
oatmeal with ground flaxseed
chopped apple
plain organic fat free yogurt flavored with Grade B maple syrup
Breakfast is totally my favorite meal of the day. It always has been. Breakfast this morning did not disappoint.
LUNCH--12:56 pm
Lunch was fine. The consistency of the soup really isn't good. I think we're gonna toss it...
The salad was super yummy. The soup--like I said--was not. The flavor is good, but the consistency is completely wrong. I know several things that I could do to fix it (like cook the zucchini longer), and I would like to try it again post-reset.
MID-AFTERNOON--3:05 pm
Drank the Alkalinize. Gagged.
DINNER--7:45 pm
I was skeptical about dinner tonight...
Okay, I don't mind the tempeh's consistency. Knowing that it's made of beans is totally fine. However, the flavor of the marinade was just off. For example: sesame oil, maple syrup, and soy sauce? There was more that went into it, but those were the main flavors. Just weird. Brandon liked it a lot. He can eat all my leftovers. You'll notice in the pictures that some are dark and some are light. I made two different marinades based on the flavors we have used this week. Neither were very good... So! Like I thought, I needed to fall back onto leftover root medley from last night. I doubled it (or really quadrupled it for me and mom since the recipe served 1) knowing that I would likely need to eat it tonight. That part of my dinner was lovely.
I started watching the Phase 2 video online tonight, but I haven't been able to finish. I'm looking forward to moving to the second phase of this process. I'm really excited for the food. So far, I don't miss eating meat. I'm currently watching Brandon eat a Wendy's burger and fries, and I don't care that he's eating it. I'm not tempted. I don't feel like I need to eat it. It's a nice change.
Goodbye, Phase 1!! Hello Phase 2!

Goodbye, Phase 1!! Hello Phase 2!
Great job, Kim. Your discipline is inspiring. Cutting meat out of my diet has been in the back of my mind for a long time so I can definitely relate. Your breakfast looked delicious. You cannot go wrong with plain yogurt, oatmeal and chopped apple. The avocado and creamy garlic dressing sounds out of this world! I swear I can live on plain salads with wonderful dressings. Flavors sound great together, but consistency seems keys with your soup. Baked temphe is something that I have never tried but would love to considering I love every type of edible bean there is. I feel like I lost 6.4 pounds just reading this! Keep it up and keep posting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. I did find a different blender that should help with the soup, but I think it really is a matter of making sure I cook it long enough. Thanks for reading!
