Any Thursday or Friday where we somehow dodge pizza is a win!!
Yes, sometimes it’s a to! But this was quinoa, white bean hummus, avocado, wild albacore tuna, & SALSA!!
Matt & T ate quinoa, steak & broccoli.
Yes, we sometimes are eating slightly different meals. What’s important in my book is that we all find ways to eat healthy foods we like!
Enjoying the sun pool-side with one of my fav snacks Superseedz!! They’re dry roasted pumpkin seeds in “Cocoa Joe” flavor 🍫They’re tree-nut free, PeanutFree, vegan, nongmo, glutenfree, 7g protein, 4g net carbs. I measure out 1 serving though because I could definitely finish a whole bag. They have 3g of sugar, but if they’re replacing a chocolate-fix, they’re a better option. We order them from Amazon but many grocery stores sell them now. Some Starbucks sell the single-serve packs
What do you think? Do these tips help you?
1. Don’t buy it! You don’t need to have such great discipline to not eat/drink something.. you need the discipline to stop buying it. You say your kids want it, but do they really need it???
If yes, put it out of site
2. Distract. A lot of our cravings are VERY temporary & will go away in minutes, so go do something relaxing and get yourself out of the environment that’s triggering you.
3. Drink water. You may just be thirsty! This one is MY downfall
This is my go-to recipe right now!
This is one of my small meals every day; usually mid-morning or afternoon when I want something sweet. Questions about it? Comment here or Message me on Facebook
When I first started Shakeology several years ago, I had it for dinner w/ a small salad. My evening eating was out of control at the time! I’d be done with work for the day & try to eat a healthy dinner but my cravings & stress-release-eating would take over. Shakeo helped me put an end to that bad habit.
But even now, I still occasionally have Shakeology for dinner when I’m in a time crunch & off to one of my son’s games or if I’ve been off track with eating all day. Saying “screw it” at night & ordering the pizza or finishing off a box of cereal usually leads to regret (I only know from experience). You feel less in need of splurges when you get the right nutrients in your body
Was your Friday clean eating game strong??
Any Friday that doesn’t include a whole pizza downed & a bad stomach ache & wondering why the hell I did that (again) is a win & deserves to be documented.
Sure I’ll still have Pizza on occasion but the Ultimate Reset I finished 2 weeks ago really helped me get back to the 90% clean eating I’m used to. (And yes, I worked out during the cleanse. And no, it’s not recommended but I upped my calories to accommodate it).
Between the Shakeology & salad here, there’s 4 servings of veg’s, 2 servings of fruit, & over 30g protein.
Are you PB-obsessed or PB-allergic??This was an amazing snack I had this afternoon! I found these Wasa wafers (25 calories each) which are a perfect compliment to peanut butter!! I sprinkled some toasted coconut pieces on top
If you ARE PB-obsessed, measure it out. This was 2 tablespoons but I could’ve EASILY had 4 tablespoons with NO PROBLEM & in DENIAL that it was that much but I know that’s more than my 5’5″ body needs for a snack.

Matt made this for us for lunch & he didn’t plate it up all pretty but had to share!
High protein, healthy & quick!! Organic quinoa, wild caught tuna, tomatoes, chopped onion & avocado! If you don’t have tomatoes, add salsa. If you don’t have avocado, add hummus!
2 weeks done & 1 more to go!
Can I get a good luck wish?!
Honestly, I’ve had a couple brief moments where I wanted to quit.
My purpose in doing the The Ultimate Reset cleanse is to experience it for the sake of others ..especially those who may need it more than me, improve on my own clean eating habits even more, cleanse of any toxin build up I may have unknowingly, rid myself of mindless snacking, improve my water intake, learn how to make more meals that are TOTALLY veggie-filled & clean, drop unnecessary water weight & to do this with my husband (who needs it less than I do but wanted to do it)
For those who have signed up for my free foodspiration ebook, you’ll get an email Friday with more details about the UR & how I’ve tweaked it to suit my needs/goals/sanity
I also Took my last “detox” supplement tonight, which isn’t that bad tasting in my opinion. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it this far given I don’t like to cook or follow a meal plan but it’s been really easy to tweak it to suit our needs and likes
Its basically how I already eat just minus quest bars, feta, turkey burgers, and ezekiel bread. All those things are replaced with more fruits & veggies! We’ve kept in plain Greek Yogurt sweetened with stevia, low acidity coffee, & eggs even though those were supposed to be excluded in week 2.
So we’re getting more protein & calories than most would consume but we aren’t looking to lose weight with this (but don’t get me wrong, I won’t be mad if I suddenly see a 6-pack☺). And we still workout, just lighter/less intense.
Just an update for those curious
Do you ever get food/snacks at Starbucks?
What’s your go-to??
This is their Classic oats but WITHOUT the dried fruit added in (they add sugar to their dried fruit.. it has 22g sugar) so I just sweetened it with stevia from my purse. In a time crunch, I think this is a decent option as a snack when you need carbs.
Add a *half* package of Chocolate shakeo for more nutrient-dense, superfood calories & protein. A lot of Starbucks other options are either too high in sugar, or HIGH sodium (which makes me feel bloated & off track), or high in bad carbs, ..or all of the above.
