The Diet Diaries: Entry #3

So far so good! My parents have been helping me out A LOT this past week. My mom made me a salad for lunch the other day. It was delicious! It had balsamic vinegar dressing and she cooked some eggplant for me. I am not supposed to have tomatoes, but she forgot until after she made me eggplant. She added a bunch of sun-dried tomatoes with the egg plant and grilled it all in some olive oil. I avoided eating the tomatoes, but the eggplant still had some of the taste and was very good. (Sprinkle the eggplant with salt about 10 minutes before you grill it and it sucks out some of the bitterness that eggplant sometimes has)
My dad made me another salad for dinner. He put teriyaki chicken in it and with the vinaigrette dressing, it was AMAZING. One of the best salads I have had in a while.
Today I moved onto having the healthy powder before breakfast AND dinner. There really is not much else to do with it except throw it in the blender with some fruit. So far I have been sticking to blueberry and banana smoothies. its really delicious! The powder has a light vanilla flavor and adds something to the smoothie. Its not the BEST tasting thing in the world, but its good for me and I have no trouble putting it down.
I'm thinking now that I should have been recording my weight since I started this diet.... But I do not have a scale at my apartment in LA so it would have been difficult to weigh myself up there!

Until next time,
