5 days left

Nearing the end...So, I hit the road block at the same time as last time...Day 14!  Not sure what that's really all about, but I find that to be the biggest struggle day during the 21 days.  Now that I'm past it, I'm back in full swing! 

I tried the roasted fennel bulb tonight; can't say that I'm a fan of that one.  I'm thankful that the majority of the recipes are terrific though.  It's fun trying new foods and knowing that they are good for me.  I guess my favorite part about the Reset, besides feeling so great, is that I remember how to eat clean!  It lasts usually about 3 months after I complete the Reset.  Then I'll find myself drifting a bit and have to work hard to pull myself back on track.  I'm hoping I get it to last longer this time around.  Glad I have a program that helps me understand how good a vegetarian diet really is and that I can be fully satisfied eating only fruits and veggies :)

no cravings

A-MAZ-ING feeling!!!!!!  I love that my body is able to enjoy the benefit of receiving the nutrients it needs to perform and therefore does not need any junk as a filler :)  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Full

I am seriously amazed at how full I feel on this diet!  The food is so good and yet, you eat a small portion of everything, or at least I would think it's on the small side, but it fills you up!  It's kind of a mind bender for me :)  I do like the fact that I enjoy preparing the food too.  Although it takes time, the aromas are wonderful.  You have to take a supplement at least 30 min. prior to eating, which gives you the time you need to prepare the food, and during that time I find that I am concentrating on what I'm doing and ENJOYING the preparation.  I know my struggles will come with the evening cravings but I have to say the first week is always so nice because you really are just plain motivated and besides...you are doing all that work to prepare your food, you wouldn't want to throw it all away with a handful of chips ;)

Here I go again!!!!

I started another round of the Ultimate Reset cleansing 21 day diet plan!  I really loved how I felt last year after completing it and am ready to get back there.  I really let myself go after my 25k race in May this year and I have the Disney half marathon in February 2014 so it's time to kick it in gear!  Not to mention I turn 40 in just a few short week...yikes!  Anyway, it is day 3 right now and it was much easier grocery shopping and preparing foods this time around so far.  I think because I realized that  I didn't have to use EVERY recipe in the book and could repeat my favorites :)  I'm so excited!!!
