Day 5 - Hardest Day Yet

Friday - the night we try to do things as a family. My hubby works a lot, I work a lot and we were able to spend some time as a family together tonight. Normally Fridays we eat pizza and when we spend time together we may have a treat like ice cream or popcorn.  Tonight of course I couldn't eat those things. No pizza, no ice cream, no popcorn.

I went to the grocery store today and saw aisles and aisles of "bad food" - it was frustrating. The fact that our society and the food corporations know these foods are bad for you but don't really care. What has become of us? Trans fats, white flour, white sugar, preservatives, words you can't pronounce - all in our food.

So, I thought that Day 3 would be the hardest, but it turns out it is Day 5. I feel like I have a hang of taking the supplements, eating at the right times of day, planning and prepping. Maybe I'm just stressed out and need to take a few minutes to regroup. One of the things they want you to do during the Reset is eat slowly, chew your food 30 times before swallowing, take deep breaths, be more intentional in your life. I feel like I haven't been able to really put a good effort in to those things. With 2 toddlers during the day, 1 toddler at night, a busy hubby, dog and cat, a house... etc. etc... it can be hard to live with intention. Again, this is good to work on these things. They will always be weaknesses unless I work to improve them.

I'm pushing forward and I didn't fall off the wagon at all, just trudging through these emotions, tiredness and soreness. According to the program this is all normal, to not only feel run down as the toxins are being released from your body but go through many different emotions.

Today I ate for breakfast hot rice cereal sweetened with grade B maple syrup. Lunch was a large veggie plate (huge really) and quinoa salad. Afternoon snack - Tropical Strawberry Vegan Shakeology. Dinner - stir fry veggies and brown rice.

Here's my video for this evening. With a couple photos thrown in. I'm gonna be a pro at this video thing by the end of the 21 days.
