The Ultimate Reset - Day 1
Today I started The Ultimate Reset. I have already published a post about what The Ultimate Reset generally is, but now I'm going to get into the nitty-gritty, what it's really like to go through it.
As I looked more closely though the instruction booklet yesterday, in preparation for today, I noticed the schedule is very regimented. You get up, take some supplements, wait 30 minutes, have breakfast, wait at least 2 hours, take some supplements, wait 30 minutes, have lunch, wait at least 2 hours, take some supplements, wait at least 2 hours, take some supplements, wait 30 minutes, have dinner.
The instructions say to try to keep the schedule as regular as possible, so your body knows when to expect the nutrients. I can handle that, so for me, that will look like this:
7:00 -- Supplements (Mineralize, Oxygenize, Optimize)
7:30 -- BREAKFAST
10:30 -- Light Workout
11:30 -- Supplements (Mineralize, Oxygenize, Optimize)
12:00 -- LUNCH
2:30 -- Supplements (Mineralize, Alkalinize)
4:45 -- Supplements (Mineralize, Oxygenize, Optimize)
5:15 -- SUPPER
Your schedule may vary, and it may change for Week 2, but this is my Week 1 plan.
As I've mentioned in other posts, the meals for The Ultimate Reset are all planned out for you, so all I have to do is buy the ingredients and make them.
My first meal was Eggs, Kale, Whole Wheat Bread, and Blueberries. I would have preferred Spinach in place of the Kale, but I forgot to buy it.
Lunch today will be a salad with dressing. Supper will be Salmon with Potatoes and Asparagus.
I took some body measurements this morning (weight and waist) to compare at the end, but this is not really about losing weight for me. I just want to get my body cleaner and start from as close to a zero point as I can get. Seems to me The Ultimate Reset is a good way to do that.
END OF THE DAY -- HOW IT WENT
I developed one of those headaches that starts at the base of the skull. I associate that with caffeine withdrawal, because I've noticed it before when I quit caffeine.
I feel burning in my eyes, which I associate with a general lousy feeling. I often have this feeling, which is one of the reasons I'm on this cleanse.
I stuck with the meal and supplement plan, no problem. Off-the-book alterations included simply not using so many herbs & spices. Maybe I'm odd, but the flavor of a plain boiled potato is just fine by me. I'd rather simplify the food-making process, as long as the food is still enjoyable.
The Alkalinize packet -- it's a once-a-day supplement mixed with water -- is not tasty. I may need to have that as a hot tea, then add some stevia to it, we'll see. It's not that bad.
I feel about how I expected to feel. I am pretty much completely changing my diet, so my body needs to adjust.
