TGIF!!! I'm a little frustrated that I'm only losing 2 lbs a week on average. The last time I did South Beach I lost 20 lbs + in six weeks. Of course, I was younger so maybe my metabolism has slowed down since then. I'm trying to keep looking at this from a positive angle. I've lost 10 lbs since my highest recorded weight and I am very happy about that! We are having our engagement/housewarming party on February 27th so I'd love to lose another 10 lbs between now and then.
This weekend will be a struggle. My birthday is Monday (I'll be 31!) and Salem is taking me to Morton's Steakhouse tomorrow night. I'm going to cut the steak into a portion size I'm allowed to have and have the rest of it boxed up immediately so I don't overeat. I will get the healthiest veggies offered and only have 2 bites of the dessert. Well, that's my goal anyways! :)
We had a baby shower for 2 coworkers yesterday. They are due one day apart! I was so proud of myself for not blowing my diet. I avoided the cake, sandwiches, chips, pizza-- it was weird, I didn't even care. I guess my cravings for that kind of crap have subsided. I got a variety of fresh fruit and had that instead.
I only had 14.5 points worth of food yesterday. I'm allowed 20. They were all South Beach approved foods too. I think that was probably bad that I didn't eat "enough" but like Info says if you aren't hungry why eat?
EATING:
B: cereal + milk
L: yogurt, fruit, coffee
S: cheese, popcorn, more fruit, jello, Red Bull
D: N/A
WATER:
I've been doing great with this, bring a water bottle to work and making sure to fill it 4 times each day. Definitely got 8 glasses in
EXERCISE:
DVD :)
THREE THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR TODAY:
1) A nice boss
2) A 401(K) statement with a balance HIGHER than I was expecting
3) My engagement ring is no longer a struggle to take on and off
Have a great Friday and welcome to the weekend everyone!!! :)
