I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home to pick up a couple of ingredients I need through tomorrow. I ended up getting organic raspberries instead of regular ones and thought nothing of it.
I have to admit, I was feeling pretty down about the diet/lifestyle change when I got home tonight. Eating the same five foods for every meal is getting pretty boring. My taste buds need variety! And cheese. (And it certainly didn't help that Will and hubby Robbie ordered Domino's and made garlic bread last night after I went to bed. Even though I had the door shut I could still smell all that deliciousness.)
So to distract myself I turned on Project Runway (Jesse Tyler Ferguson as a guest judge is really sweet) and decided to look in my book and read through all the recipes that I can start making on Saturday. I got really hungry and made the same dinner I've had for 4 days straight.
OH. MY. GOSH. I am in love with organic raspberries! I love this fruit anyway, but after 4 days I was starting to get a little sick of having them at every meal. Nope. Not anymore. I can eat them for days and days!
And yes - you read that correctly - I can start eating different foods on Saturday! I only have one day left of my five-day jump start! I'm feeling pretty good now. And my taste buds are hanging in there.
Back to Project Runway - I know that I will not look like one of those models even when I reach my goal weight. (Though I wouldn't mind looking like the model who wore the winning look tonight. Wowza!) But I am planning on looking and feeling better and healthier. And fitting into smaller sizes will be fun. Who wouldn't like that?
Until that happens, I'll keep eating my organic raspberries from Trader Joe's even when I can eat different foods. Did I mention I can do that on Saturday?
