I'm kicking off a ReSET nutrition challenge - this is not a diet, but instead a system to create a sustainable way to eat healthy, nutrient dense food while still loving your life.We need to change our relationship with food. Food nourishes us and heals us but our fast paced lives and easy access to premade, highly processed foods mean we sacrifice quality/health for ease.The ReSET program is about creating positive relationships with food by showing you how to change the composition of your plate, what's on your plate and how to change your behaviour so instead of grabbing take out, you grab the food you made before you leave the house.What can you expect?guidelines and visual aids on what your plates should look likefood charts highlighting what I call 3X foods, foods packed with nutritiontrackers to help keep you stay motivateddaily videos to help guide your choiceselimination of certain food and drinks to help focus on rebuilding a positive relationship with food while seeing if certain foods may be sabotaging your best intentions by causing bloating, water retention, heightened cravings, hormone disruption, etc. Reintroduction of some foods and drinks after challenge is completedaily posts with recipes and tips to help the new behaviours stick on the TriFIT Get Social PageWhat this isn't...There are no premade meal plans because we all have different tastes and preference.

Another good day.

breakfast was oats with all the fillers (chia, flax, cinnamon, protein powder) topped with slivered almonds and 1\3 diced apple

linch was a 3 egg omelette with a full serving of spinach and red pepper and a side of strawberries and blueberries

for snack I had 100g plain Greek yogurt with 1 scoop protein powder, a tbsn PB and a scoop of greens powder

dinner was spaghetti squash with homemade red sauce and meatballs with a salad on the side.

felt surprisingly satiated today!

no workout today, full rest for day 1 on my cycle.

still working on water

My biggest challenge right now is recovering from Covid and a husband who believes that the tomato sauce in spaghetti sauce or on top of pizza counts as enough veg. He's doing most of the cooking for dinners lately so I'm doing my best to ensure breakfast and lunch are packed full and then will add a salad or cut up veggies for my dinner as a "hint hint" to him about the veggies. ;)

It is VERY frustrating though because I've been working on him for YEARS!!!! Eva (my 15 year old) has learned and will plate half veggies leaving next to none for her dad. When he does cook veggies we have to steam up extra because he thinks a serving is what "he" would eat. Since I haven't been feeling well (no energy) I have just tried to be grateful for the meal he's prepared and too lazy to make anything additional. And if I'm brutally honest - it feels like a good excuse right now to just eat poorly for a little while.

Who else struggles when spouses or other members in their family that will take lead on meals? Any tips???

Have you watched the grocery shop video in ReSET?

I go over grocery shopping tips, how to edit your shelves and more.

When you write your grocery list work from the 3X sheet in your workbook. When you build your base around these foods, it's easy to stack your plate each and every meal.

Tip: look for the hidden sugars in food. It takes a few extra minutes to read the labels but worth the extra time. See all the names for sugar in your workbook. Labels are sneaky!

Day 1 (almost) in the books.

had to go into the office today so needed to plan ahead to ensure my nutrition was well thought out so that I had the right foods available, and to ensure I stayed satiated so I wasnโ€™t tempted to head to the bakery downstairs ๐Ÿ˜‹

breakfast was Greek yogurt, berries and granola

lunch was a salad with kale, arugula, quinoa, chickpeas, broccoli, and some chicken

2 snacks today. Raw veggies with hummus and some mini rice cakes.

dinner is chicken thighs, potato and broccoli.

10,000 steps and a soccer game for my exercise goals today.

Day 1 ... I'm ready! I know it's overwhelming ... take a deep breath in and out. You've got this! We've got this! I'm right here anytime you need help.

Today I want you to really look at the tracker and think on which of these lifestyle/nutrition habits do I want to maintain after this challenge is over. Circle it. Star it. This is your focus.

No matter how your day or week is going this is the habit you focus on and everything else is beautiful icing on top.

When we focus on the small details, on the baby steps we make the overwhelming doable. And this is doable.

Happy Day 1

~ Amy, your coach, trainer and fellow challenger
