Two Down, One to Go

Ultimate Reset - Phase 2, Day 14

Last day for phase 2 - hard to believe. Will weigh and check measurements in the morning.

Phase 3 consists of fruits and vegetables only (if any whole grain, it is during snack, and I am not willing to give up my ShakeO for that). So my week will be truly just fruits and vegetables.

More on phase 3 tomorrow as well as phase two results.

Went to the park with Scrappy today. Not much other exercise. May need to mow tomorrow. :) Also planning to begin Tai Chen. Did take a LONG nap. It is interesting how the energy comes and goes.

Dinner tonight was Edamame and Roasted Corn (Ultimate Reset)

Ingredients
½ cup fresh corn kernels
1 cup water
¾ cup shelled edamame
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium shallot, diced
½ medium red bell pepper, diced
¼ medium red onion, diced
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Himalayan salt (to taste; optional)
Herbal seasoning blend (to taste; optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Arrange corn kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until they caramelize and begin to brown, but before they harden. Remove from oven and set aside.
While corn roasts, bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; Add edamame; cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until soft.
Add corn and edamame; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vinegar, lime juice, and cilantro, plus salt and seasoning blend (if desired). Mix well.


Looking forward to next week. Have to work two of the five days, so I will need to incorporate the eating into my day. Sure going to miss this summer vacation!
