Day 1/21 of the Ultimate Reset is in the books! This next 20 days is going to be much more of a mental challenge for me than I think I was prepared for. I thought it would be simple, follow the meal plan as it’s laid out and move my body when I can and as much as I am up for. But I realize now that it’s not going to be that easy and I have a lot more work to do as it pertains to my relationship with food. ALL damn day I was completely fixated on the clock. Checking the time CONSTANTLY waiting for the next meal. Yet when it came time for me to actually eat that next meal I had little desire to actually eat it!
One thing is for sure, I am NOT gonna go hungry on this plan at all! I wasn’t able to finish the lunch or the dinner entirely. I will probably try and skip the optional snack for today and see if that helps. My relationship with food is far worse than I thought. I have to really dig deep and work on viewing food as the fuel my body needs and not a treat, cheat or even a punishment. I’m still just as excited to heal my body but there is definitely an underline nervousness that wasn’t there when first going into this.
Couple of additional thoughts I had after my first day…
1️⃣ It was super easy to get an entire gallon of water in when the gallon was sitting out on the counter right there in plain sight throughout the day.
2️⃣ I was terrified I’d have a caffeine withdrawal headache but knock on wood as I type this I haven’t had that; probably due to the water intake.
3️⃣ The cravings for ALL the BBQ leftovers in the fridge from the 4th of July party were INTENSE! I hate throwing food away but I think it’s what I need to do especially this early on in the program.
4️⃣ I just don’t see how on earth weight loss in this program is possible with all the food but I’m going to trust the process.
5️⃣ I am tired on a level I haven’t experienced since a being first time Mommy to a brand new baby. I could fall asleep standing if you gave me a minute.
