Welcome to my morning banana diet blog! (not that kind of banana..) . Maybe when your on a diet and trying to lose weight there has to be something said for exercise. Its not that i'd rather not, i just can't seem to fit it into my schedule. If i had someone calling me and telling me to do it, then ya i'd do it. But i don't. You'd think that chasing kids around would be exercise enough but its not, the thing is that i'm so busy with so many other things that when i have a free moment (which is rare) i just want to relax. Even the easiest two minute exercise, i could do it, but only if someone tells me too.
The problem that i'm having that is leading me to admit that i need exercise is that the 5lbs i lost just keeps coming back! 155 one day 150 the next, then 155 again, then 150 and now this morning 155 again! Seriously, what is going on! Maybe i'd better look over "the rules" again to be sure i'm doing everything correctly, and perhaps start counting calories.....

Morning Banana Diet - Day 16
Welcome to my Morning Banana Blog :) Well its day 16 in the morning, well actually its nearly noon. When i first started this diet i was having a lot of trouble getting out of bed at a decent hour, as in before noon and getting to sleep by Midnight. Well not anymore, i've adjusted very well and so have the kids. Even if i don't lose another pound my quality of life has definitely improved. Before i started the morning banana diet i was going nuts. My kids would wake me up and at night i would be struggling to keep my eyes open longer that the kids so that i they wouldn't be running around unwatched. The problem is that i have a bachelor pad, so that means no bedroom. Unless i turn out all the lights, they wouldn't sleep. They went to sleep at 9pm last night of their own accord and woke up at 7:30am, a half hour before my alarm was set to wake me. See what i did was set my alarm, then go wake them up early, if i can't sleep in neither can they!! Revenge is sweet :) Last night i went to bed at 11:30pm whereas before i would lay in bed till sometimes 3am just trying to sleep.
Another thing is that i used to skip breakfast, seeing as though i wasn't awake for it anyhow. I would eat a snack-ish type thing when i was hungry, then make dinner around 9pm or 10pm, sometimes later. It was such a habit that i just wasn't hungry. I had wondered why i was gaining weight if i never ate! Well i guess my body was in starvation mode, not to mention eating late at night didn't help. (Don't worry, the kids ate well). Now that i eat a banana with water in the morning, i'm actually hungry during the day, i eat a yogurt an hour or so after my banana and water, i don't always eat at lunch time, but instead have lunch around 3pm and skip the snack. Dinner is usually at 6pm or 7pm now.
My point is that even though i'm not sticking perfectly to this easiest-diet-ever, i'm still losing weight just by changing a few bad habits and my quality of life has improved dramatically. I have so much energy, and i'm not wasting my life sleeping :) After all, you only live once!!

morning banana diet day 15
Welcome to my morning banana diet blog! (not that kind of banana..)
This morning, before my morning banana i weighed in at 150lbs! Which would equal out to 5lbs lost in 15 days :) Yay, i'm happy! Even though the rules say i don't have too, i've been trying to watch what i eat and count calories, and even try to fit some exercise in (which is proving difficult...).
Just in case you don't know the rules i will tell you:
1] in the morning before eating anything else (including coffee/tea) eat 1 to 4 banana's raw/plain with a glass of room temp water. wait 30 minutes before having regular breakfast.
2] eat whatever you want for lunch, no desert.
3] have a snack at 3pm. no dairy, donuts, chips, etc.
4] dinner preferably by 6pm but no later than 8pm. And no dessert either.
5] go to bed before midnight, 10pm is better. oh, and don't forget to get up at a decent hour.
Thats it! Anyways, thanks for tuning in to my Morning Banana Blog!

Its official, the Banana's have arrived! I live a 40 minute drive to the nearest grocery store (country store doesn't have produce), and i don't have a car, so my aunt picked some up for me today, yay!(chew chew chew) Am i aloud to eat as many banana's as i want all day? Or do i have to eat only at the scheduled times? hmmm...
I had a tough time going to bed "early" last night. I got in bed at 12:09 and layed there until about 3am before i finally fell asleep. Of coarse it didn't help that my boyfriend was up until 5am playing his computer war games and chatting with skype the whole time. Everytime i thought i was near sleep he would burst out laughing or start shouting orders to his team mates about war type things 
.
I set my alarm for 8am and until 9:15am i hit the snooze button when it went off every 5 minutes, i finally dragged myself from bed and turned the lights on to assault my eyes into wakefulness.
I didn't have any banana's this morning, so before i had my morning tea, i ate 2 apples and a glass and a half of warm water, being sure to chew well of coarse. I discovered that apples have a lot of skin, as i kept finding pieces of it hiding in my mouth for a while. Then i had my tea, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 splash whole milk. I drink decaf. (Ever since i started drinking decaf, my consumption of tea over the past year has dwindled to "maybe" one or two tea's a day, and often none at all. I don't drink coffee.)
For lunch i had a bowl of veggie soup. For snack i had a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and another apple, with more water.
And just now, i had another apple and half a banana....and more water. warm of coarse. I figure i'll just have rice for dinner, cause i don't really have anything else thats easy and good for me other than more fruit, outmeal, more pb&j's and more soup....
I don't think i'm good at making rice, its always over or under cooked. I have two types in the house, one is calrose, which i under cook everytime! And the other, well i can't remember what its called right now, but my aunt says that they use it for putting in rolls cause its kinda sticky, i make this one cause i screw it up the least. I just throw in half and onion sliced, a few cloves of minced garlic, some soy sauce and a package of onion soup mix. When its done i melt a tbsp of butter in it. Voila, Dinner!
Well its 5:30pm, better get cooking, cause i have to soak the rice for 30 minutes before i cook it. Maybe, just MAYBE i'll get to sleep before Midnight......

Posted January 11th, 2009 at 08:12 AM by AngieBabyWeight
So i went to bed earlier last night, wll i got in bed at Midnight, but didn't lay there for hours, maybe just one hour, not sure. But anyways, when my alarm woke me up at 8am i only hit the snooze till 8:30 then threw myself in the shower to drown myself awake.
Currently chewing my banana as we speak...oh...now opening banana no.2
Ok, i'm not used to being out of bed this early, i guess i'll just write a chapter of my book and i'll update this later this evening to tell you how my day went!

Day 4
Posted January 13th, 2009 at 09:30 AM by AngieBabyWeight
Well here i am on the morning of day 4, i checked my weight yesterday and of coarse there was no difference yet, couldn't help but hope. I think i may be one of those people who if they do not get immediate results with anything i do i get less enthused. But knowing that this is the way i am helps me to look past that and just keep moving. It would be helpful though if there before some before and after pics i could see. I had a few glasses of milk yesterday, couldn't help myself, and it was my sons third birthday and so i had a piece of cake too, but it was more like a muffin with no icing because i realized too late that we had run out of icing sugar...
Anyways, i guess i should start some form of exercise. But i've got two kids so i can't just run off the gym and i live in the woods practically so theres cougars and i don't like walking by myself. And its hard to exercize when the kids are awake because they just jump on me! grrrr.....i'll figure out.....

Day 7
Posted January 16th, 2009 at 09:54 AM by AngieBabyWeight
Well i've had a few slip ups, like this morning i left in till nearly 10am and the night before last i stayed up till 12:30. (And ate my dinner at 10:30...). I've been eating rice for dinner the last two nights, and pasta for dinner the two nights before, with tomato sauce, not cream sauce.
I'm down to only two banana's! This wouldn't normally be something to worry about for most people, but i live a 40 minute drive to a grocery store, and an hours walk to a bus stop. I don't have a car right now...
Anyways, i was very excited when i checked my weight last night, i had lost nearly 4 lbs!! But when i checked it this morning and it was right back at 155lbs again
I have a feeling i know what the reason is, its either my scale is malfunctioning or its [a morning ritual we all do but don't talk about]. So we'll just see where i'm at when i weight myself again later...

Day 8 [original 155lbs - currently 151lbs]
Posted January 17th, 2009 at 10:00 AM by AngieBabyWeight
1 Banana left!! So i'm back down to 151lbs from 155!! And i'm going to try the water cure aswell
I'm going to try to make and effort to exercise more. I tried to play DDR for exercise but my kids kept jumping on the dance pad when i was trying to play, so that won't work, i did however find a 2 minute ab program on youtube, so i think i'll try that twice a day.
"2 Minutes to Tight Abs!"
