Mon Jan 27 Day 6 Ultimate Reset

Mon Jan 27 Day 6 of the Reset. Woke up early (for me) again today around 7:45ish, 7:10 hrs of sleep which is really good for me. I love this Link. Was hoping I would have a BM, but I seem to be stopped up, hoping the Detox phase helps flush it out. Plus I think I will add some more greens to dinner. Have been trying to stay away from goitrogens (Cruciferous Vegetables) and Soy to give my Thyroid a break or hopefully try and kick start it. We literally had been eating one or many of these in our daily diet, raw spin for lunch, Brussels sprouts, kale and kale chips, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower etc. So while I tried to stop eating raw broccoli and cauliflower I continued to eat raw spin. I was trying to eat healthy, but too many of these can trigger my thyroid. This in combination with wine and cheese and nitrates.. no wonder I had a growth on my thyroid. It is time for me to pay attention to what, why and how I am eating. I also need to wipe away my old diet habits and thoughts - Atkins (no carbs) and fasting.

Reflection time - I was in Harris Teeter tonight picking up fresh fruit and a few other things. I stayed away from the cheese and wine isles :) but it smelled so good in there, roasted chicken and bread. But what did I crave.. not cheese, not wine, not sweets.. Diet Pepsi!! Man I wanted to get a single.. and it was everywhere due to the Super Bowl. As I was walking through the store, I was trying to figure out why I wanted a DP so badly (gave it up over 15 yrs ago)... was it the caffeine, the fake sugar.. WHAT?? Then it dawned on me. I am in diet mode and DP was my goto diet aid starting when I was 13ish. Some habits/feelings just never die. Wish this damn cigarette habit would die.. I just can't completely stop. I am way down, but went out again today and got a pack. I have to get it together and just stop!!!

Today I decided to up my calorie intake to at least 1200. I have been eliminating things from the diet to keep if at or below 1000, but need the new mind set.. Don't let your body go into hibernation mode and slow your metabolism even more. So today added more nuts etc to get me to ~1200. Hope that helps the weight loss. I also need to get my but moving. It has been so cold so I haven't been walking, but no excuse.. I need to get moving if I want to see the scale move.


Breakfast - Shakeo
Lunch - Salad, Pumpkin seeds, 1/2 Lentil lime salad, 10 olives
Dinner - Quinoa Lentil Pilaf (another keeper), root medley

Noticeable changes 

Miss watching my cooking shows.. having AB (Alton Brown) withdrawal..

Body - Not as cold today, no headache, skin is dry, less redness on the face, but break out on my face is getting worse, my stomach was hurting all day - then I realized it was hurting from the pilates I did yesterday.. guess I need to retrain my brain as to inside pain and muscle pain.. haa, more enegery but still a bit sluggish, had gas I think from the lentils, no BM but not constipated (need to add greens)
