This was the first weekend of the reset and I really didn't think I was going to make it on Sunday. We had overnight visitors on Saturday night who didn't arrive until 2:30 in the morning. We had to get up early for Mass the next morning, so I really thought I was going to cave to coffee. Ooh. You didn't know there's no coffee allowed during the reset? Yep, that's right. No coffee. Fortunately, I was able to catch a solid nap in the afternoon or I don't know what I would have done. Dinner Sunday night included miso soup, which I HATE. I'm told that I should've bought the yellow miso instead of brown. I had leftovers from a dinner earlier in the week, so I switched it out.
Sunday was also our family's traditional "Ice Cream Sunday" in which we partake of homemade ice cream. I really love ice cream and have serious doubts about my ability to resist, so I made all the ice cream that we'll need 3 weeks ago. I asked my husband to serve the ice cream so I wouldn't be tempted to cheat. However, I still had to be present while my family raved about how good chocolate marshmallow ice cream is. Surprisingly, I didn't suffer too much. I didn't feel any cravings or desires to have a taste. If you know me, you are stunned. Ice cream is my kryptonite.
Last night I slept really well and did not have any crazy dream for the first time in a week. I fell asleep easily and woke up earlier than expected, but feeling well rested.

***TMI ALERT***
Skip to the next paragraph if you are afraid.
I haven't had any odd syptoms, no emotional reactions, no aches or pains to get excited about, but what I have noticed is more complete and slightly more frequent bowel movements over the last few days. Nothing like you might expect with a cleanse, no running to the bathroom or anything unpleasant. I think it's just a release of toxins from my body. I'm happy about it.
****YOU ARE SAFE NOW****
Tomorrow is my last day of week 1: Reclaim. I begin week 2: Release on Wednesday. I'll be eliminating all animal products during this week and eat a more vegetable, fruit, whole grain based diet. All-in-all, this has been a successful week. I am looking forward to what's next.
