{ Fad Diet Day 5 of 7 }

We got through banana day, which honestly wasn't that bad. I got 4 bananas and 4 yogurts and it was enough for me yesterday. I may have a new obsession with Light & Fit's Vanilla yogurt. Kind of loved it. Doesn't hurt that they're 10/$7/ #winning
 
Today is Tomatoes and Fowl day. Now I'm not a huge tomato person so I anticipated today being a challenge. What I decided to do was make it fool proof. I had some plain chicken for breakfast cut into strips and a lot of water to aid in feeling full. I then cooked up 6 chicken breast tenders and some tomatoes in preparation for today. I boiled all 6 then shredded them up. While they were doing their ting I took 3 tomatoes and diced them up. Threw them in a skillet with 1tsp of Olive Oil and a ton of Mrs. Dash's & Garlic & Cajun Seasonings. I let them simmer till soft then threw in the chicken for about 5 minutes.
 
 
After everything cooled I portioned them out into 4 meals. 3 smaller 1/4 servings and 1 full cup serving. So far I've eaten 1 1/4 cup serving and the 1 cup serving. Both were delicious and surprisingly filling. It could have to do with an over load of protein. Either way I love it. I have lost around 5 pounds total. The healthy eating (sort of healthy) kick start is something I'm really enjoying. I'm signing up for a boot camp session here in the Boro every Tuesday and Thursday at 6am. Hopefully that will help me get my butt in gear for the wedding where I'll be seeing ex's and frenemies, and everything else going on.
 
Tomorrow reverts back to your nonrmally scheduled eating. Fowl and Veggies and then the next day the miracle soup as well as reintroducing carbs. So I'll be doing my version of soup and some brown rice and more veggies. Hopefully this better eating trend sticks around for a while!
 
Any suggestions or plans that work for the future?

{ 7 Day Fad Diet: Update }

I am still hanging in there. It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. It really only seems to get me at nights. When I want to murder my boyfriend. Sweet sweet man friend that he is, he likes to poke at rabid bears apparently.
 
Straight Veggie day was fine, dinner was a breeze. Yesterday was fruit and veggie day. A little hairy but nothing some cantaloupe couldn't overcome.
 
 
Today is Banana & yogurt day. I loaded up on some bananas and some yogurt and went to work. Today I actually feel the best so far. No rage and the sweetness of the bananas and the yogurt is refreshing.  I can't wait for tomorrow though. CAN.NOT.WAIT.
 
Tomorrow is fowl and tomatoes day. I am going to cut up some chicken and tomatoes and throw them and a lot of Mrs. Dash's together and chow the eff down. I think breakfast will be some sort of turkey/chicken very plain. Then lunch and dinner will be amazing. I'm pretty dang excited.
 
One thing I can tell right away is salt and other seasonings are a lot more potent now. Going without and then putting some seasoning on some veggies and I can taste it immediately. I like that it's vaguely re-awakening my taste buds. I guess they were kind of hibernating, or on hiatus... who knows.
 
I broke my scale apparently somehow so I don't know how much I'm down but I'm going to guesstimate somewhere in the 3/4 pound range at the moment. I like this little jump start as I am calling it. It reminded me why I wanted to eat clean and eat better. I've been perusing skinnytaste.com recently and the recipes are amazing and I cannot wait to be off this little cleanse to start cooking up some of the recipes.
 
I also feel like I've reconnected with my willpower. I knew it was down there somewhere. Found it. This has also been great for my wallet. Each day runs me maybe $5... versus the $15-20 I was averaging on junk food and takeout. #winning
 
I'll let y'all know tomorrow if Banana day turns hostile at some point.

{ That Awkward Porn Blog }

Ladies I don't know what I've done wrong.. or right...

 
 
But for some reason my little blog is apparently a hit for those who like porn. Specifically the type of porn where you take a nude selfie and post it... for other people to see and call you to get laid. Was I expecting this... absolutely not.
 
See it started around 4pm yesterday... I noticed I was getting a lot of hits from a site called topblogstories.com  DO NOT CLICK ON IT. Unless you like nude porn selfies. In which case click away... and if you figure out why it links to my blog please let me know. So anyways I noticed this yesterday and asked some peeps on twitter about it. Helene investigated and flipped like me. Her words of advice... Don't click on that!


 
Well when I got home last night the boyfriend and I investigated to see what was going on. We clicked on the site and Statesboro Ladies popped up. In all their naked dildo waving provocative posing glory. I saw things I never wanted to see and some things I can never forget. One thing I didn't see however, was a link to my blog.

Anyone care to explain how a porn site without any visible link to my blog is giving me an extra 1500 hits per day??? I mean don't get me wrong... I'll take em... so long as no one leaves pervy comments. That shiz will not fly.
