South Beach Week 1 Weigh In – Sept 8th, 2010 September 8, 2010

Today I bought a scale – for the first time in my life.  I will try not to obsess over it, but after a mid-day weigh in I am 184 lbs.  This is 14 pounds down from my starting weight of 198 in March of this year.

I’m doing great – yesterday at work we had a chocolate fountain party with tons of sweets and flowing chocolate – it looked amazing.  I didn’t eat one bite – not even the fruit.  I’m sticking to phase 1 of south beach and that means no fruit.  It’s been 1 week exactly since I started – and so far so good.  I feel the difference already – I feel less bloated and even fit into a pair of pants that I haven’t worn since last year!!!

Have a great weekend – we have a 4 day holiday weekend here in Israel – with tons of food and laying around – I will try to fit some exercise in – or at least some walks with the kids.

Weigh in next week!

Back to the Beach September 3, 2010

I’m back on the south beach diet- day 3 – this time for good. It’s all about me now and since the summer is finally over I can put the focus back on my health.

I have no time for exercise, but I can control what goes into my mouth.

It’s day three, and I feel fantastic. No sugar in 3 days – it’s too hot to bake anything anyways, so that temptation is not there.

I do have a family birthday party today, but will be sticking to my veggies and salads – I just might eat before I go.

wish me luck
