Eat to Live Day 6

This morning I decided I really need to stick with one scale because I'm going crazy over here! lol  I'll stick with the high-tech scale even though it's the one that's usually more unkind to me...haha.  But this morning it did tell me I lost a 1/2 pound from yesterday.  So I'm officially down 5 pounds in 5 days, this is definitely worth it. 

Breakfast: I made my own smoothie concoction this morning ~

 1 large banana

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 whole pitted nectarine

1 cup fresh spinach

1.5 tbsp ground flax seed

1/2 cup vanilla soymilk

1 cup crushed ice

2 fresh strawberries to garnish ;-)

It made 2 whole glasses for us to share and it tasted delicious (even though it's a weird color)!!!

Lunch: I had the smoothie at 8am and I wasn't hungry for lunch until 3pm! I made a salad of spinach & romaine, a grated carrot, raisins, my cucumber confetti from yesterday and spicy pumpkin seeds topped with Tomato Basil dressing. I actually only finished less than half and I had to give the rest to Nathan because I was too full.

While I was washing my spinach & romaine, I decided to try a Pinterest idea of storing my lettuce in jars in the fridge.  It sure looks pretty if anything else, lol.

Dinner: We have been craving sushi for a while so we went to Sushi Brothers.  I ordered Edemame and ate almost all of it by myself! Then I got a seaweed salad roll and a vegetable roll.  Unfortunately I completely forgot to ask them to use brown rice :(  I was bummed out but I'll definitely remember next time! It was good of course, but the whole time I was hoping all this white rice wouldn't stick to my thighs! lol 

I still feel good about today, even with the white rice incident.  I can't believe tomorrow is the 7th day already! And I was just thinking about it...I've gone a whole week without ANY soda or caffeine!!! That in itself is probably a record for me because I love diet soda, tea and coffee!!! To anyone who is considering this 7 day experiment - DO IT! :)   And to end this post, here is an adorable picture of Bella wearing Aunt Lauren's outfit! And yes she's 7 months wearing a 3-6 month outfit, lol.
