BAM hello fruits

First & more importantly - I have had SO much support from you guys - I appreciate it!!! Makes me want to keep going. I didn't think today would be hard, it wasn't hard but by all means continue reading & you will see. 

Wednesday, July 11th - my {our} first day on the 7 day diet. {Yes I am verry lucky to have such a supportive fiancee that I thought was going to fall over because he was hungry}

Yes, diet. Me. Never thought I would use those words in my LIFE. But I'd like to look at it as a healthier lifestyle, not diet.

Last night - we traveled to the grocery store, as a family. Never happening again or I may lose my sanity. Some read my tweet of my kids were "those kids" at the grocery store - I got comments back saying uh oh, oh no, etc. You all. I was stressed to the max. Never again. 

So the grocery store we bought mainly ALL produce, some dairyish items & stuff for the kids. I thought to myself, welp this may be the most expensive grocery bill I am about to pay BUT nope, it wasn't. Gasp. I thought healthy food was more expensive. It wasn't. We're not fully complete with all the items for the week because we didn't want anything to go bad. To the Farmers Market we go on Friday in a hundred and eight degree temps. Yeah I said it.

Here it is folks - today was all about the fruits.

{Breakfast smoothie - strawberry + ice}

{Breakfast grapefruit - NO sugar, I about died but I managed}

{Lunch, fresh grapes & strawberries - I have made my decision & I like purple grapes muuuch better}

{After asking him if he was cheating at work he sent me this - haha oh yeah you go baby!!}

{This was my afternoon snack where I realized I had enough fruit & gagged this peach down}

 {And then I came home to dinner of this}

 {And Mr. Grill Master himself grilled up these pineapples with cayenne pepper + salt + olive oil - holy deliciousness}

These were so good, Chris made more & he dropped one in the dirt & screamed "NO" like he was dying. Haha. I love that man.  

{grilled melons - AMAZESAUCE - the fork is for the RIP kabob he dropped}

I must be so delusional I think the Cantaloupe tastes like COTTON CANDY.

Things that teased me throughout the day - my dad mentioning my favorite hometown pizza, YUM. Not that I can have it right now being 2200 miles away. Chris mentioning the free BW3s wings coupons staring at him... We all know what we will be eating next Wednesday. Pizza & beer. Hey - we have to reward ourselves. Unless we fall off the wagon & I am determined not to. And then a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. I mean let's be serious, I don't even eat those when I am not dieting... WHY do I want one now? Oh because I can't have it. Duh. Oh & yes - our receptionist keeps our kitchen loaded with snacks, some healthy - some not... Like the mini candy bars that are GLOWING in the drawer. Yeah those. 


And remind me not to sign into pinterest until this diet is over. Your pins are like knives to my belly.

Oh & every dream I've had today is about food. Just so you know. I am beyond thrilled for tomorrow of vegetables - get these fruits out of my face!!!  

Happy dieting - if such thing exists!

KIDDING - I am going strong. SEE YA
