I think this is the hardest part so far for me. After a not great day yesterday, feeling a bit like a stick in the mud with not being able to go out to eat normally or enjoy a glass of wine. I’m ready for it to be over and just be a bit more “normal”.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m in no way thinking of quitting! The last two days I haven’t done my sunrise bike ride either which has thrown me off a bit. I really need that time in the morning to set the tone for the day.

As I mentioned before, I just couldn’t do miso soup for breakfast but instead of subbing with fruit I did two days in a row of the chick peas, avocado and spinach. Can’t WAIT for my fruit plate tomorrow! SO excited!!

Chick peas for breakfast??

Lunch was a lovely salad with roasted beets enjoyed on the beach.

And dinner… I was REALLY looking forward to the squash as I LOVE pumpkin and we eat a fair amount of pumpkin soup in New Zealand. I don’t tend to cook it myself and was hoping this would be an amazing recipe that I could add to my list of meals. It just didn’t turn out as good as the picture in the book was. I really am not a fan of tahini and my pumpkin turned out a bit dry.

Dinner - pumpkin w/tahini sauce and steamed veggies

The only prep I did so far was shelled my edemame (I bought the frozen edemame in pods from Costco). Oh, I also baked all the pumpkin and will make the soup tonight instead of tomorrow so it is ready to do.
I also weighed myself today. I have been weighing in from time to time. I really don’t like scales. At all. I like my pants. If they are falling off I’m losing weight, if they are tight I need to ease up on the cookies. But for this reset I was curious. Because I didn’t think I had weight to lose. I don’t want to be “skinny”. When I started P90X 3 years ago I weighed 142. I went down to 134 when I finished and have gone between 134-139 the last few years. I’m currently at 130. I’m don’t really want to see it go lower. It just doesn’t feel right. I’m 5’7″. I don’t notice a huge difference in the way I LOOK and my clothes don’t feel too different, maybe a bit loser… ***Warning!! poo alert!!**** It kind of makes me think that there was some gunk in my system that needed to come out! And speaking of which, things are moving, regularly. I am NOT spending all day in the bathroom. My insides are definitely getting a spring clean :)
