two down. one to go!

hello hello nerds! long time, no talk! we are on day 14 of the reset, which means it's the last day of week 2 & the detox phase is almost over! the sad part of this is that we'll actually miss drinking the detox supplements :( it tasted just like lemon iced tea & it was a nice switch to drink something other than plain water, but this means there's only one week left of the reset! the nerds are down a combined 22 POUNDS & we can't wait to see what the rest of the reset has in store! we've found it so much easier to wake up in the morning, sometimes even waking up before our alarms & not reaching for the snooze button. this means we have a few extra minutes to relax & enjoy the morning, which we usually forget to do because we're sleeping till the last possible second & then rushing out the door. not only are we awake in the morning, but we feel much more rested throughout the day without the need of caffeine for an afternoon boost! but we're not gonna lie. the smell of coffee in the kitchen makes us yearn for our favorite starbucks latte... but we're staying strong!!

tonight was one of our favorite meals. we had an edamame & roasted corn succotash. what is succotash, you might ask? well it's a dish that consists primarily of corn & any type of shell beans. you can also add tomatoes & green or sweet red peppers. throw on your herbal blend & some vinegar dressing mixture & voila! you have a fabulous & filling meal. the succotash was paired with a lemon-pepper kale & this was the first time we've ever had kale. all we can say is...sooooo good! not only was it filling, but the bright green color will make a great addition to any meal in the future. good to know!

so, nerds. tomorrow starts the final phase of this course: restore. the ingredient options will slightly change & once again, we're excited to see what new recipes we'll be cooking up in the coming days! check back with us later this week for our first "fun food fact"! maybe we'll tell you something you didn't know already ;)

keep studying, nerds!!

the day of the earth.

happy monday, nerds! how's life back to the grind after that glorious weekend? it's day 6 of the ultimate reset at TFNHQ & only...15 more days to go! so on this monday let's have a little...POP QUIZ! now, before you cheat & look at the title of this post (hint...that was a little hint...) what day is today?! well, my pensive pupils, it's... EARTH DAY!! & for today's "show & tell" TFNHQ will give the class a little glimpse into what's for dinner. so far we haven't had any complaints about the menu (except maybe there's a little more seaweed than we're used to...) & tonight is no different, except we're a little nervous & excited as well. today's menu is a "roasted root medley" & "zucchini-cashew soup". in all honesty, with all the food we're about to eat coming right from the ground around us, it's pretty fitting this menu happened to be on this holiday, huh? well played, beachbody ;) anyway! here are some pics of the short journey from plain-old fresh roots & veggies to rich roasted rootness with a side of our creamy-cchini-cashew culmination! (i know. that last one was a long shot, but just go with it...)

well, there you go! now we're gonna run to the lunchroom & grab our food before it gets cold & the bell rings! take some time tonight to appreciate the earth you live on & everything you get from it, as well as what's on it. now, we won't turn this post into a tree-hugging, eco-pushing propaganda piece, but we will say that the reset has made us appreciate the multitude of resources we get from the earth & how they allow us to live & sustain. our bodies are precious, so we should think about how we treat them & the earth they inhabit! just some food-for-thought, nerds ;)

keep studying!
