Beachbody Ultimate Reset--My Diary--Day 7

Ultimate Reset-- Phase 1--RECLAIM--Day 7

Last day of phase I—So far the phase has earned its name—YES, I am reclaiming my health by following this plan. I am consciously eating.

 I don’t think I have spent this much time in the kitchen without it being Thanksgiving or holiday baking. I think this is why so many of us make unhealthy choices. With little time, convenience is such a factor. I’m glad I invested in a good set of knives a few years ago. I am really enjoying the process—knowing that everything that is going in my body is healthy.

Breakfast: Today's breakfast was oatmeal with flax seed, yogurt (plain greek yogurt) with apple and cinnamon. I am sure to repeat this healthy delicious combination down the road.

Lunch: I usually don't consider eating soup in the summer. I enjoyed the zucchini-cashew soup. I ate it cold with the micro-green salad. It was a great lunch.

Dinner: Dinner was baked tempeh again. I think I like it even better this time. (That makes me wonder if my taste buds are changing). With the brown rice and veggies along with the tempeh I am starting to feel like I could eat a vegan diet (at least most of the time). I have not been hungry and have not missed meat the last few days. Of course, we are heading into the summer which means grilling, BBQing, all those smells are always tempting. I am looking forward to starting phase II tomorrow. I am feeling my body getting healthier every day and that is a wonderful feeling. (That certainly replaces the temporary satisfaction from ice cream, desserts, caffeine, alcohol that can all be staples in so many diets)

I know the tempeh looks kind of like sausage. What's surprising is--I'm beginning to feel like I could eat like this for a long time
