Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I am starting Reset on Ash Wednesday. Is anyone else starting at the same time?

I am doing it again soon (I did it in July) and work with a few people who just started. Have you tried the reset support groups Beachbody has? Happy to answer any questions .

Cheers!

whats up! I am starting on that day as well, I just created a thread for it but I will delete it and just post in here!

I just got everything in the mail this morning.

I finished reading the guide so it looks like I just need to compile a list tonight and then go to the store tomorrow.

I have a water distiller coming in the mail so I will need to buy a few gallons of distilled water to use until that gets here.

One question I have is about food substitution for beets. What can be substituted for beets? I gag every time I try to eat them. After a quick inspection of the food list, that is about the only thing I am going to really have trouble with.

thanks for the tip CoachCBove!

here is the link for the week 1 list:
Ultimate Reset Week 1 Shopping List


hmm...thanks for advice about beets...maybe I will try them fresh one time, I have only ever had them out of the can and they smell so gross I just can't do it, maybe fresh won't be so bad...thinking positive thoughts...the beets are good the beets are good

ok back from the grocery store, I am ready for this!

couldn't find smokey tempeh strips or Millet but I got everything else.

picked up 4 gallons of distilled water to hold me over until my water distiller gets here.

I think I am ready for this adventure.

How you doing rbsingle? You ready for this thing?

Half way through day 1

So far no real complaints, the optimize gel caps don't even leave any funny burp up taste or anything.

eating without a drink is odd

I enjoyed my salad for lunch more than I was expecting to. It was very filling with all the extra veggies thrown in on top of the lettuce.

I also was impressed at how well my salad dressing turned out. I made a batch of the basic vinaigrette and it was delicious.

in about an hour and a half I am going to take my first shot of alkalinize...we'll see how that goes.

this is what a distilled water factory looks like!



Going forward I will be putting the tap water through the brita first and then into the distiller to try to cut down on some of the scaling.

I can't even believe how much crap is in my tap water! This was just plain tap water without a brita filter.



I really hope the brita water comes back a lot cleaner than that!

that is nasty!

I have to say I am not super pleased with the lunch for day 3.

4 hours of prep time is not something that is doable for lunch unless you put something on day 2 to say hey BTW...if you really want to eat lunch tomorrow you better start working on it now.

I ended up not having enough time to stay on track and so I skipped lunch today and had a strawberry shakeology with almond milk.

Might be a good idea to add a 'Next Day Prep' section to the guide for days when there are recipes that take over a half hour to prepare.

I did start cooking the lentils and getting them going so I can have them tomorrow.

Today is Day 5 for me!!!

I agree the Sushi was not easy to make, mine fell apart too and actually think I would have enjoyed better without the tempah. The Miso soup was awful, almost made me lose my appetite, not sure if I got the wrong kind of Miso or what but I couldn't finish it.

The food prep is definitely something that should come as a warning.... maybe add a food prep and cook time to each of the recipes. I agree with the post about putting a reminder in there to 'make a little extra'.

I have spent at least 2 hours a night trying to get lunch and dinner prep done for the next night, so I am a little frustrated with this part.

I have read posts where people say they have lost weight by this point but i have not (I'm 5'7", 160lb. so I'm not one of those skinny girls who has none to lose....lol). I am actually surprised I haven't due to the decrease in food intake and the amount of greenery I am consuming.

Tomorrow is Tempah for breakfast, not sure how I feel about this but going to give it a whirl.... there's always oatmeal as a back up just in case

Day 5 was fairly uneventful.

Food was delicious, I am getting used to some of the recipes and ingredients so I am getting faster and better each time.

Did Day 2 of Tai Cheng to move everything around and get blood flowing a little.

Was a great little day.

Going to finish up the week with a nice Epsom Salt Bath Soak before hitting the sack.
