3 days post-diet!

     I've been so busy since I last posted that I haven't had a chance to update until now! The next morning after the 7-day crash diet was over, I had lost another half pound, so overall I lost 6 lbs in 7 days which I think is great for not having to count ONE CALORIE!
Like I said before, it was an eye-opening experience to learn so much about what I'm eating and what it's doing to my body but I must admit, this diet is NOT for everybody! It was extremely strict as you all could see and I even cheated a bit compared to exactly what Dr. Fuhrman wrote about in his book. I do think anybody could do it for 7 days though, think of it as a challenge!!!
So I bet you are wondering what I've been eating since RIGHT?! Haha Wellllllll.......the next day I had a dinner party at my house for my church girlfriends and it was Mexican food pot-luck. I made grilled vegetable fajitas which were DELICIOUS by the way (I just used my grill pan, sprayed a little cooking spray, seasoned with Tony's and grilled red & yellow bell peppers, onion, zucchini and squash) Of course everyone else brought amazing dishes full of meat, cheese, and deliciousness! Haha  I made a plate and took a little bit of everything. I figured I'd go out with a bang, right?! So I finished off with a bit of ice cream with my friends. It was a great time of fellowship and it made me feel good to know I could control myself not to pig out.
The following day was my little cousin's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and I did very good, I made a big salad with some fruit and stayed away from the pizza! That night was a friend's wedding and I took just a small spoonful of things I liked and a big plate of fruit.

Then yesterday was Father's Day and I knew that Nathan really wanted Dominos because we hadn't eaten it in forever. So I ordered him a small pepperoni and myself a small thin crust veggie pizza with light cheese.
I ate entirely too much of it though and felt bad afterwards. So this morning I know I need to really be careful not to slip back into old habits of eating whatever is easy and quick.
My friend Tabitha sent me a recipe for banana ice cream that's literally JUST bananas. I made it this morning and it's absolutely amazing!
3 bananas, sliced and put in freezer until frozen.
Put into food processor (I only have a blender and it worked too)
Scrape down sides several times and just keep blending until all of a sudden the bananas turn into this whipped goodness.

It tastes great alone, but the recipe also says you can add some peanut butter and cocoa powder for fun. I haven't tried adding anything yet. This will definitely be something I make often because it satisfies that sweet craving and it feels like you are doing something bad by eating ice cream! haha

I have continued to lose weight and I'm down another pound. I look forward to trying new recipes with eggplant and lots of grilled veggies!
