Day 3 of the Ultimate Reset and I'm feeling great! My energy is good, sleeping good, not many noticeable changes yet. I haven't been too hungry, but definitely felt like my calorie intake was lower than it should be so today was the first day that I added in the optional snack. I chose hummus with raw veggies from the list of options. I am seriously LOVING all the recipes! Breakfast was fruit with sesame seeds and coconut flakes. For lunch today I had an amazing green lentil salad with lime and cilantro (give me anything with cilantro and I'm happy!) and a micro green salad. Dinner was a little trickier.... My only complaint so far (and it's only because I can be an airhead) is that some of the meals use a number of recipes... all of which are on different pages. Tonight's dinner was one of those meals. Nori Rolls with Tempeh and Nori Gomasio, Japanese Cucumber Salad and Miso Soup. While flipping back and forth through the pages I accidentally landed on the Hearty Vegetable Miso Soup recipe, not the Miso Soup recipe I was supposed to be preparing. Beachbody has made shopping for the cleanse super easy because they give you a printable shopping list for every week. Seeing ingredients in the recipe that weren't on this week's shopping list should have been the first giveaway... but off to the grocery store we went to get cabbage, broccoli (because I ate it all for my snack earlier today) and celery. The soup was coming along great... until I realized I was making the wrong one! Time to get the right soup going, which thankfully only took a few minutes to make. Then on to the Japanese Cucumber Salad... which I now notice that it's supposed to marinate for ONE HOUR. Oh boy. This entire time Scott is trying to help me, without getting in my way, and without killing me! He took over and helped make the Nori Gomasio which was REALLY good. It's a sesame seed, Himalayan sea salt, toasted nori seasoning. After all this it was time to assemble Nori Rolls. While they were no where near as pretty as you would get at a sushi restaurant (that seriously is an art!) they were really good. In the end, we ate dinner about an hour and a half later than we had planned, but the food was well worth it and these are recipes we'll definitely be using again in the future. We even got to use the plate set my mom got us! Scott is jokingly saying he should write a blog about tonight's dinner, too, from his perspective. I hope he does! So far I'm not missing working out as much as I thought I would. We went for a 3 mile walk last night and this afternoon. And with so much time tied up with food prep I honestly don't know when I would fit it in. After a delicious Asian inspired dinner I'm now off to study Shiatsu for my NY state massage boards next week. How fitting!
