GO...BANANAS!


Well, my friend, Bonnie Ruth, told me about the "banana diet".....totally a fad diet. But honestly, if you lose 5 lbs in 5 days, then I say, let's do it!! So, you eat 6 bananas and 3 cups of milk each day for 5 days. I opted for my own version: 4 bananas and 2 cups of milk and a normal supper with my family. I've lost 5 lbs in 4 days :) yippee. I always need something like this to shrink my appetite and practice discipline once again. I think next week I'll have fruit for breakfast and a small lunch and a normal supper. I'm on my way to losing some more baby-weight for this summer. Speaking of summer, I don't know if it will ever come. We are in another blizzard and are supposed to get 18 more inches of snow.....I think I will GO BANANAS!..(that was so clever to tie in the 2 topics like that!?!?!)

Blizzard like conditions here too--but only 12-16 inches possible in the Twin Cities. Good for you Carissa--I have been faithfully working out almost every day since the beginning of January but still cannot discipline myself when it comes to eating--any tips?!

Don't go too bananas, they may try selling you in the supermarket with the rest -- I mean, look at how much bananas cost! Seriously, I'll have to try that diet. I think if I can lose a few pounds right off the bat, maybe I can keep at it.

Now, that's what I call a diet. I should try that for my cruise coming up!! You look great though....I don't think you need a diet.

Hey, are you hungry on this diet at all? Or does that fill you up?

Yay! It makes that lack of energy on the snow hill a little more worth it. :) Glad to know for all that it actually did work! Now I'll know what to do next time I need to fit in that next size down for some special occasion.

yahoo careeeeeesaaaaa....I would think that the bananas would be a little hard to get down after so many in one day....were they?
Well, don't fade away to nothing, you will blow away in the snowstorm!
I got the flu for my diet this week, and now a terrible cold....so that has been fun.
love

sorry, feather that you've been sick. Are you sure it's just the flu or the 9-monther flu??!!
I hope you're better soon. This snowstorm is insane. I think I'll go out and take some pics so you can see just how bad it is :) love you!

Wow, way to go on losing 5 lbs.! That sounds like a dream diet. I don't think I could do the banana diet though. I have low blood sugar problems and get shaky, dizzy, fainty, and sick when I don't eat enough. Glad it worked for you though! I'm sure you look svelte and luscious!
