Banana Island ~ Day Four and missing RT4


Hello everyone!!!
It's so nice to be sharing another blog post with all of you! I'm new to this whole banana island thing... Decided to give it four weeks after having issues with my gallbladder and was told to remove fat from my diet. I was told I can eat bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. I ate bananas and within no time i had no pain in my sides and no fever! Check that out!!
So I did a few days on the RT4 plan and then decided to go ahead and do a banana island for the month of September :)

Today begins day four. Day two I didn't have near enough bananas and was tired. Yesterday (day three) I woke up bloated and that made me a little bummed, but after reading posts and comments, I understand the bloating... Ha! Just waiting for it to stop! ;)
Day three was my most challenging so far, day three on any plan always seems to be the weird day! Lol
I threw bananas in my purse so that I had snacks on me at all times, and it was perfect, I was running errands and was nonstop. The bananas were my go-to energy source. Then a late lunch rolled by and my sweet fam wanted to eat out. I made me half a gallon of banana milk, stuffed myself with as much as I could handle and then headed to the restaurant. French fries looked really good ;)) I even told my husband that I was gonna get a salad (I was feeling so hungry that I even thought about ordering a chili bowl) but once the waiter came to take our order, a peace of mind came over me and I thought, I'm on day three of banana island, I'm fine, I don't need anything from this restaurant. So with my glass of water I sat and laughed with the family while they ate and then we headed out for more errands. I felt so good not caving in. Even my husband said he wants to do the banana island because he hates feeling tired after meals... Mmm hmmm!
I had no more bananas in my purse and all the extra running around was taking my energy reserve. By the time I got home, I was a cranky mess. Not to mention I felt very tired. So I layed down and ended up sleeping for two hours! Woke up HUNGRY so I snacked on bananas and the rest of my banana milk. By this point I was missing the RT4 plan and was seriously contimplating ditching banana island and making me some rice noodles for dinner.
But I didn't want to quit. I allowed myself to enjoy making my family their dinner and I did it with love. I went about my night keeping myself busy and then hit the sack as early as I could... 10pm! Lol
Day three was my challenge but I got through it! And I'm proud to say that I'm on day four!!
This is a lifestyle correction, I'm doing my part to fix the damage I've caused years ago. I'm grateful that I get to buy as many bananas as I want and that I get to be part of banana island with full support from my husband and daughters. I get to do this. I'm thankful.

Cheers to bananas!!!!!
