Ultimate Reset: Week 2

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!!
