Today I did not cook. Which was great. If you are considering this program, I admit it is a lot of planning, shopping, prepping and some cooking, even when you do reset in a crunch but it is so worth it. Sleeping is greatly improved. I’m moody but most the time feeling GREAT. Digestion is amazing. Wanting to have a glass of wine or a beer, but I’m more than 1/2 way through.
Weeks 2 & 3 are fruit for breakfast almost every day so wrap your head around that. There is a mashed chic pea option I did the first time I didn’t like so I will just stick to fruit. But buy a variety of fruit, and make sure you’re getting fresh, ripe, and mostly organic if you can. It will make a big difference in the taste. Lunch was a quick heatup of some pinto beans and rice I made earlier in the week. It has a bunch of spices so there is a kick, and I paired it with cold zucchini soup that was also pre-made from several days before. I just put things in glass jars and they’re easy to see in the fridge. For dinner, I just didn’t feel like cooking so we ordered out from a Thai restaurant and I was SUPER good ordering steamed veggies, brown rice and a spring roll. It wasn’t very good. No spices, no flavor. I added some braggs to it, but I would have been better off making my own stir fry veggies on the stove while my rice cooked. Oh well, I didn’t have to cook all day so I was happy about that.
I need to get some yoga in today.
And sunshine would be nice. It’s been gloomy and on and off rain all week so hoping for some sunshine soon!
