Day Four - February 13th, 2011

Today is kind of a good day for me, as far as the diet goes. Hump day. Now starts the part of the diet that I won't mind as much, with the exception of the skim milk: Foods I actually LIKE to eat. Bananas. Meat. Rice. I can do this!

According to the plan, by yesterday I should have lost 5-7 lbs already. I don't know, as I am operating week one under poor planning, but I do feel better, and seem to have more energy, another promised byproduct of this diet.

Today's meal selection: bananas, skim milk, and of course, the soup. I'm gonna eat what's left of my soup tonight at work (well, what's left of what I took with me the other night anyways), and eat bananas before hand. I've already had 5 as of the time I'm typing this paragraph, and have a bunch more to look forward to. I may even have to buy more before the day is out!

Chalk up another lesson learned: skim milk is still gross, even if you drink it with a mouthful of bananas. I've never liked it. I've always thought it tasted somewhat sour and bitter compared with the 2% and 1% I'm used to drinking. However, as it's part of the diet plan, I bought some and have forced 2 glasses down my throat to this point, with another couple before work hopefully. I'll take the jug with me to work tonight and try and finish it off.

I ate two bananas straight off when I was out on my first delivery run, both after the deliveries had taken place. I kinda wondered what people thought seeing a pizza guy in a big van eating a banana. I'd laugh, personally. I also had a big glass of my skim milk. I finished the rest of the bananas fairly early on, and had to buy 5 more (I figure that's enough to get me through the end of the night). Ran into my best friend's dad when I entered the store, which was funny cuz I parked next to his truck and thought "that looks like _______'s truck" (name withheld for privacy).

I finished of the container of soup on my 'lunch' break, and then had 2 more bananas before the end of work, as well as the rest of the milk. Since I've been home, I've eaten one more, leaving me two to finish off before bed.

I'm so looking forward to tomorrow. I get to snack on soup, tomatoes, and for dinner, STEAK!!! I can't wait!

I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking your time to read my blog. I hope you keep reading it, and keeping me accountable on this diet. Please follow it if you want.
