Mon Feb 10 Day 20 Ultimate Reset

Mon Feb 10 Day 20 Ultimate Reset Day 6 Restore - 1 day left!! Woke up before my alarm and working on a better schedule of getting up early in the AM. If I can get up early and start a work out program that will help me reach my health and wellness goals quicker. That will be my next 21 day personal challenge. I felt great when I woke up, was expecting to be sore from the weekend activities, but I think the NSAID I took yesterday and all the stretching helped to reduce the morning pain I usually feel in my hamstrings.

It is so cold and I really wanted a cup of Java, but not for the caffeine, but the heat and flavor. Miss my mug of Joe, but I am afraid to add it back to my daily routine due to the high acid content. Plus my mug of Joe is loaded with forbidden foods, - 4 shots of Espresso, 2 Tbs of Half and Half and 2 Splenda packets = 54 calories. While not as high as a Starbucks macchiato, mine is still filled with chemicals and fat, I will switch to Stevia in the future or try without, but will need some dairy or coconut/almond milk to add the richness.

Went for a walk before lunch. Looks like I need to up my game -my route around the block used to take me 30 minutes, but today I did it in 18. Moving faster, and with less pain. I wanted to go for a second lap after lunch but it was snow/raining and I was already freezing so we didn't go. Tomorrow I'll add walking up to Davis Dr and back, that should get me the 30 minutes I need.

Doing research on what type of 'diet' we want to follow when we are done with the cleanse. I'm leaning toward no 'formal' diet per say (Atkins, Elimination, Thyroid etc), but pull from my 30+ years of dieting experiences. We need to change our lifestyle and eating style. No more multi portions of cheese, wine, salame, cold cuts, processed foods. I really like 'clean' eating and the planned weekly meals. Prepping on the weekend will help us keep to the goal.  Here is a quick video from Dr Oz on bad gut foods.. Wheat, Corn, SOY, Dairy.
