Hello lovely FSers...
Day 5 of South Beach and doing mostly okay... I've had some kind of viral cold thingy this week which is not making my diet any easier, seeing as how headaches, nausea, and irritability often occur when in Phase 1. Also constipation!!!! Maybe I would've thought twice about this had I realized what a sugar junkie I was. :) In the end, I'm sure it will be good, (each day is getting easier in terms of side effects) but for now I WANT PIZZA!!!!
I ran 3 miles last night and felt like I was going to die. Does anyone know if you're supposed to be working out during phase 1? It almost seems like my body is working too hard during workouts these last 5 days. Carbs really make a difference. I'm scheduled to run 10 tomorrow but, cold aside, I don't really see that happening without some kind of carbohydrates in my system. I, believe it or not, do not want to have a heart attack. (Though from my list of favorite foods, you might think otherwise... :) )
I didn't really mean for this to be a complaining journal entry... on the whole I am feeling thinner... but SO EXHAUSTED!!!! My husband can't wait for me to be off of Phase 1. Or any diet for that matter... he doesn't mind a few extra lbs as long as he has someone to eat with. :) Also he told me tonite that he would like for me to incorporate some "real meat" (i.e. RED MEAT) into the meal plan. hahahaha. I've burnt him out on ground turkey, chicken breast, and fish. He can only stand eating healthily for so long. Heck, I'd probably be the exact same way if I had his metabolism.
On an unrelated note, I got my hair cut SUPER SHORT!!! It's finally the faux-hawk that I've always wanted. I was going to wait until I reached my goal weight to get it cut that short (I have a round face so I was worried it would make me look fat) but my girlfriend who does hair for Paul Mitchell asked me to be a hair model for a professional photo shoot... so I said what the hay I"ll do it!! It looks really great, and so punk rock! We changed the color to a purple/red.
The photo shoot was a blast. Hopefully, the shots will get published in a hair magazine and I can jumpstart my plus-size modeling career!! (haha j/k) If they do get published, it will be fabulous for my friend's cosmetology career. :) yay. Maybe when I scruff up some energy later I can put some pics up for you all to see.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful friday... blessings to you all for a rockin' weekend!!
