Week 2 is in the books. The hardest part is definitely over. I no longer
have the mindless motion of eating items I’m cleaning up (i.e. kid’s plates) or
searching for excuses to munch. Not to say sometimes foods don’t tempt me. The
hardest day was when someone brought in chocolate caramel cupcakes at work; they
sounded great. But, I avoided the break room until they were gone.
I thought that the hardest thing about the vegan weeks would be the lack of
cheese. I really don’t miss cheese; which kind of surprises me. I’ll probably
have a quesadilla when the Reset is done; but most meals are pretty amazing
without cheese. Meat isn’t an issue for me, as I typically don’t eat much of it
anyway. What I miss is frozen yogurt/ice cream. It’s probably more the 100F heat
than the Reset that has caused me to long for the sweet goodness. And the fact
that when taking the kiddos out in the heat (baseball games and the zoo) I have
gotten them ice cream. And kids are messy with ice cream; so I’ve had to help
out to keep things semi-neat. Yes, I’ve cheated here and there. This has been my
only cheat, so I’m feeling pretty good about it. Unfortunately, I’ve been able
to tell myself that since I’m not taking the supplements I’m not doing the full
Reset and it’s okay to cheat. Which, it’s not. All my other snacks have been of
the nut and fruit variety. So, I’m more on the Partial Reset than the Ultimate
Reset.
Nonetheless, as Week 2 finished I found that the second number on the scale
was suddenly a number I haven’t seen since high school. Hooray for that!!
