The Ultimate Reset - Days 4 & 5

THE FOOD

Breakfast on Day 4 introduced the mixed fruit plate, along with a slice of bread and some yogurt. For Day 5, I must have looked at the wrong week, because I accidentally ate a fruit plate when I should have had farina. That's too bad, because, never having tried it before, I was looking forward to farina. I'll have to give it a try on one of the upcoming fruit plate days, which is every breakfast for the last two weeks of the Reset.

Lunch on Day 4 was the Nori Rolls and Lentil Salad again, so I made the lentils into a stew again, threw the ingredients from the Nori Rolls into it, and at it all hot. Very tasty.

I was meeting someone for lunch on Day 5, but fortunately part of the lunch was a raw vegetable plate, so I ate the Quinoa Salad (with cucumbers and tomatoes) at home, and in place of the raw vegetable plate I had a salad at the restaurant. All good!

Dinner both nights was stir-fried veggies, but Day 4 paired it with quinoa -- which I just love -- while Day 5 paired it with brown rice. Very filling both days.

HOW I FEEL AFTER DAY 5

So far I am loving this. I don't know how to explain it, but today when I was doing yoga, a particular DVD that I've done at least 10 times, I really felt in the zone, somehow. I just felt lighter and more in tune with what was going on. Not sure how else to describe it, but it sure felt great.

A bit of the burning in my eyes returned the afternoon of Day 5. Just a bit. I'll continue to monitor it.

So far so good. The weekend looms ahead, as do my last 2 non-fruit-only breakfasts and some really interesting-looking meals, so I'm really looking forward to it.
