reset WEDNESDAY: Its BREAKFAST Time
Brothers,
Here we are. And your protocol for today and this weekend along with final prompts.
If you started fasting Sunday morning, we are officially at 72 hours. Some of you broke last night at your own 72-hour mark. Some of you are pushing into 96 and already eating clean. Wherever you are on the map, you did it.
Honor yourself for this. I am honoring myself. Every moment across the last three days where the voice said "I want to eat" and your higher self said "not yet," that was the rep. That was you using your mind as a tool to honor your body. This is what discipline actually looks like from the inside.
Now here is the break-fast protocol. Read it before you eat.
BREAKING THE FAST:
Your digestive lining is sensitive right now. You have not put anything through it in three days. Whatever goes in first, your body may push right through you. You may need to go number two, and it may come out liquidy. That is fine. It is your body finishing what it was doing. Do not fight it, do not eat through it, just let it happen.
Choose ONE of the following for your first bite.
Sauerkraut. Fermented, gentle, wakes the gut with live probiotics. A small spoonful, chewed slowly.
Kefir. Also fermented, easy on the stomach, good bacteria delivered fast.
Bone broth. Heat it up, add a pinch of salt, sip on it like soup. Protein without the digestive work.
Fruit. Berries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries. This is my usual go-to. Nutrients and clean energy delivered fast.
Wait 30 to 60 minutes before eating anything else. Listen to your body. That is the whole game right now, being in tune with what it is telling you.
Second meal, a few hours later. Eggs, organic yogurt, or a small version of the options above.
Third meal, later in the day. Wild caught fish and steamed vegetables, or a clean salad with avocado and olive oil. No bread, no sugar, no fried food, no alcohol.
FOURTH OF JULY:
Saturday is the 4th. Burgers, hot dogs, drinks, dessert. All the things that can undo everything you just did.
Here is how to move through it with awareness.
Meat. Skip hot dogs entirely, they are heavily processed. Grilled chicken is a green light. Burgers are fine if the meat is quality, grass fed if you can find it. Walmart-grade burger meat is going to put you on the toilet the next day.
Drinks. You can have a drink or two. If you are having liquor, drink it straight, no sugary mixers. If you are having beer, go dark, go quality. A darker lager is fermented and better ingredients. Do not get drunk.
Dessert. If you want something sweet, discipline yourself to a bite or two. Not a whole piece. You get to participate in the enjoyment without wrecking the reset.
The rule for the whole day is simple. Be aware of what you are about to put in your body. Ask yourself if it is going to undo the work. If yes, do just a little if you have to indulge at all.
You can have fun on the 4th. You can have a drink. You can enjoy the dessert. Do it with awareness. Remember your why.
Come into the group today and share what is coming up for you. What you got out of the last three days. What you journaled. What you learned about your discipline, your body, your mind.
JOURNALING
Same format as before. Write what you want, why you want it, and how you are going to do it. Get quiet somewhere for 15 minutes and let the answers come.
Today we are doing two. Play and adventure. Wants and desires.
For my PLAY AND ADVENTURE, WHAT I want is......
(examples: Basketball, hikes, solo trips, a weekly adventure alone, a weekly adventure with my wife or girlfriend, a monthly three-day trip, a quarterly week-long trip)
WHY I want this is because....
HOW I am going to do it is....
For my WANTS AND DESIRES, WHAT I want is......
(examples: A new place to live, a new car, a specific vacation destination, new gear for your sport or hobby, a new relationship, deepening my current relationship, or anything else material or personal you want to call in)
WHY I want this is because....
HOW I am going to do it is....
This is where you get to be honest about what you actually want. The material things. The experiences. The people. Do not shrink it down to be polite. If you want it, write it down.
Come back into the group and share what came up. What surprised you. What you had been avoiding writing down until now.
Drop a "BROKE IT" if you are breaking today. Drop an "EATING CLEAN" if you are continuing into day four.
