Day 5 coming to a close!

I'm over the little emotional/physical hurdle I was experiencing and I think I see the light!

So-closing up day 5, food was great as usual, and my energy levels were better. I even forgot to take my afternoon snack, which is always optional. I think things are finally leveling out, which is a wonderful thing. I can almost "feel" myself breaking bad food addictions and habits. The amount of water I drink a day is now a normal thing, and not something "forced." On another note-I talked to some people about my predicament that I had. I went in on week 2-supplements and everything, planning on staying on week 2 for 2 weeks. Well, crazy thing is, I didn't think that the amount of supplements they gave us in the kit were not meant to be done that way (DUH). It was meant for the general population of carnivores, and week one is designed to wean you off of all meat and dairy. Since I was already vegan (50% raw vegan at times, if not more), I was not about to go back and starting eating meat, to only wean off of it again. That detox was ROUGH-did it once, no more! Ha. So-in conclusion, I'm only doing a 2 week Reset, as I already have weaned off of meat and dairy for some time now. But, I will still continue with the supplements and still eat the same way. I'm addicted to the food and the recipes that are in this thing! There is a guideline in the Reset that tells you when to "reintroduce" certain foods to your diet-and that I will definitely follow. I'm excited so see how this final week plays out! Until tomorrow morning.. -DB

Day 5 Ultimate Reset

I am going to be honest. Last night was tough. Like I have mentioned before, days 3-5 are the hardest. They were right! I thought I was good to go, until about 7pm. We started talking about my daughter's upcoming birthday and the CAKE and all sorts of other stuff. Of course her birthday falls in line during my reset--so no cake for me. This almost sent me to TEARS. And off to my bedroom I went and I fell into a depression of sorts. Again-all these emotions are on the Reset Guide. I sort of brushed it off, like "nah, that won't happen to me!"...think again! I slept like crap last night but today I feel ok. This relationship with food-IT IS REAL and we need to address it from time to time. I can see now that I have a comfort eating habit, which is now being broken, and it's putting me down in the dumps emotionally. I know it's temporary-so that is the hope I am holding onto. I know I will feel like a new person soon. But now, these past couple days-not easy. OK-time for some positives! -I am forming a new relationship with food. Food is now my fuel, AND my friend. I am blessed to eat on a normal basis, and I get to try new food that I've never eaten before. Talk about adventure! -To actually sit and eat a piece of food, think about the taste, chew for 30 bites-it's sort of enlightening. -I wake up every day, with more and more energy. No caffeine, and no alcohol sickness (from evening before, ha!) -My time with my family is special. I savor every second. -My mental clarity is increasing every day, and I feel more focused. Till next meal! (oh my breakfast was a big bowl of fresh fruit-delicious!) -DB
