Thurs Jan 23 Day 2 Ultimate Reset

Thurs Jan 23 Day 2 Ultimate Reset. Woke up late so had to rush to get my 20 oz salt water in before my chiro appointment. My back and knee were very tight and needed some relief. Got home from the chiro late, made my shake just in time to receive some expected but unsettling news from work. Spent most of the day on conference calls learning about my new work situation. Remembered that I had a few cigs left, so I choose to smoke vs fall off the reset wagon.

Lunch consisted of - salad, 2 Tbs Greek dressing, 2 oz left over shrimp, 1/4 C pumpkin seeds

Feeling a bit emotional due to work, I really really wanted a nice mug of my coffee. But I stayed on course and decided to make a blooming jasmine tea instead. Today I learned of the approved teas for the reset.

Approved teas during the Reset are 

Dandelion tea - contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and substances that help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and also maintain the health of your blood and major organs.
Morning tea – high in antioxidants, great for the kidneys, and refreshing!
Lemon/Ginger or just Ginger tea – Aides in digestion, and is also a great midday pick-me-up.
Pau D'Arco tea – is an all natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal Tea.
Chamomile tea - Soothing to the stomach, aides in digestion, acts as a mild anti-inflammatory, and has been known to help with anxiety and insomnia.
We also recommend Fennel Tea (a great aide in detoxification) and Cardamom Tea (a calming, warming tea, that aides in digestion.

Dinner - We decided to change it up and have the Nori rolls but with Tuna and Tobiko vs Tempeh. Made a big batch of Nori Gomasio (sesame seeds, Nori and sea salt) to use through out the Reset, Chet made the Japanese Cucumber salad but I didn't like it, was too sweet, I like my cucs in ACV, so I didn't have any. I made the brown sushi rice.. gagging all the way.. I still have emotional issues with brown rice from my childhood. Story for another day :) The Nori rolls were awesome, even with brown rice.. haa..We liked that there was less rice then what you get in the store or at a restaurant (1/3 C rice, cucs, avocado, tuna, etc). We have made these 3 times now :) So good and low in cal - 200 Cals

Was totally exhausted both physically and mentally. Ran out of left over cigs and debated going out to get a pack. Choose not to go out and fell asleep early again.

Both Chet and I were freezing all day and night.
