Journal of a SouthBeacher

Eminem.jpgPicked this quote up online and wanted to share it.  How true it is.  We have to live today to its fullest.  Make as many healthy, happy choices as we can.  Love each other completely, never go to bed angry and always lend a helping hand :)

So here we are day 8 on Phase I South Beach.  I find if I have my meals planned ahead things run more smoothly.  Its when there is no plan I seem to stumble and fall :(

Today (this morning) is 6 ounces V8 juice (which I enjoy completely)  egg beaters with some diced ham and fat free cheese (which I’ve learned to enjoy) 

Snack will be lowfat mozerella cheese stick and a handful of almonds

Dinner will be ground sirloin patty grilled with diced onion, diced pickles, leaf lettuce and tomatoe.  I’ll open a can of green beans to go along with.

Throughout the day will be 4 to 5 glasses of 8 ounces of water with maybe a 6 ounce glass of skim milk for dinner. 

Snack after dinner will be celery sticks and cut cucumber.

I’ll say one thing about this diet, it is getting harder to be spontaneous.  It is so very rigid and I’m afraid when this is all said and done I will start to dislike meat Uuugggggghhhhhh.

But on the happy positive note I will lose the first large amount of weight on Phase I and more on Phase II, and I’m praying by that time my eating habits and outlook on eating will be all different.

Ok…lovely buddys of mine, its time for the treadmill!!! I’ll watch 30 mins of Regis and Kelly while I get my exercise in!!

Jo–I’m here…trying to hang in here, sounds like you are doing AWESOME!!

Faith is not what you see. Faith is what you know to be true from the Word.

Marilyn Hickey

We also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

I Thessalonians 2:13
