Round 2 - Days 4/5

Still going strong. It feels like it is getting easier and easier. Instead of a fresh fruit plate (lots of cutting!), I just had a Shakeology (CHOCOLATE!) on day four. It is so nice to have that option. Also, I loved the lentil lime salad yet again as well as the stir-fried veggies. I'm not going to lie, I am spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Thankful for dishwashers because there are lots of dishes too. I am also wishing I had a bigger refrigerator for all the amazing produce that I'm using. Luckily, we have a back up fridge in the garage that I've been using. It's just a long trip to the garage (first-world problems). I'm also dragging my gallon(s) of distilled water everywhere I go.

Day 5 was hard, I wanted sweets/sugary things. It was also pizza night. I almost ordered one for the rest of the family, but how much torture can I take? We all ate together at the table even though we had two separate meals. To combat the chocolate need I just tried to drink more water and I had a Shakeology snack in the afternoon to give myself a treat.  I thought I would really miss my dt coke habit, but so far I'm doing great and I never did have any caffeine withdrawal symptoms like I did last time!!! LOVE THAT!

I haven't been able to get daily walks in, the weather has been too cold/rainy and we've just been so busy. I have been getting nightly epsom salt baths however and a dry brush on my skin every other night. I didn't do these things on the last Reset and I actually do think it is helping my sore muscles. Why are my muscles sore? because I'm getting the toxins out of them... weird right? I've been sore in my back where I always hold stress as well as my jaw muscles because I have some TMJ. I'm still amazed at how fast the Reset starts working. I'm sleeping pretty well, but still getting tired in the afternoons.

I honestly feel like I'm getting my life put back together as well. I'm working on organizing/cleaning more parts of the house (like my work desk). Soon, I'll start getting things organized for a garage sale in June. I'm also tackling big issues within my relationship with my hubby. Not necessarily bad issues, but just things we need to be on the same page about together.

I'm also dredging up old feelings that I've long glossed over.... things that have happened in the past. I'm wanting to reach out to dear friends and I wish there was more time in the day to do it all. When you read through the companion guide that comes with the Ultimate Reset they tell you all these things that are "side effects" but you really don't believe them.... I'm here to tell you that it actually does happen!
