I'm really trying to get around to some blogs, if I haven't made it to yours in the next few days, send me a link, please!?? I may have lost it.
I'm doing very well on South Beach, I'm finishing up my 7th day today!! I haven't cheated ONCE, not ONCE... although, I HAVE forgotten a few times... the first night (Monday) I drank a cup of Kool-Aid that my son made and served me, I downed it without thinking. Then Friday at the football game, someone gave me a bite sized 3 musketeers, so I opened it and took ONE bite and swallowed it before it clicked (actually someone reminded me)... I threw the rest away. I also went to a mexican restaurant over this past weekend in San Diego, THAT WAS HARD!!!! The ladies hand make the tortillas right in front of you... BUT I did NOT even taste one, however, I was SO focused on that and what I was going to order, that I instictively grabbed a chip loaded it with salsa and threw it in my mouth without thinking... oh well... it was the only one that got into my mouth... my order: a Chicken fajita salad... it's exactly what it sounds like... chicken fajitas, grilled onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms, thrown onto a bed of lettuce... it was really pretty good, too!! I WAS thinking for a short minute to share a margarita with a friend, but didn't. I did however, have a glass of wine later that evening.... darn, I guess I DID cheat... that one was totally intentional!! Well, it's the only time the whole week.
This past week was sure not easy... at work, people brought in a total of FOUR pies; a tub of cookies; bagels; muffins and danishes; and brownies!! Can you believe that... that's just ONE week!! NO WONDER it's so hard for me to lose!!
This week will be better, and after this week, I will have completed phase 1 of the South Beach eating plan... and on to phase 2.
However, I have to say life is very BLAND right now... NOTHING to look forward to... LOL!!!
Take Care,and Have a great week!!
Joann

Hang tough, hon. It sounds like you're doing great despite all that evil temptation at work!
ReplyDeleteIt could be pretty tempting at the lab, especially around the holidays when people started bringing things in. I would indulge sometimes, but usually there was so much work to do that I didn't have TIME to go grab a snack in the office. I just worked worked worked, and if I had time to take lunch, I just wanted to get out of there and go eat my yogurt and cheese in peace and quiet! LOL
Try not to fall prey to office eating--it's so easy, but really dangerous!
Love ya,
Beth

I am the same way-I am eating before I think, instead of thinking before I eat. You can do it!!
ReplyDeleteAfter Halloween, people at work will bring their left-over halloween candy. UGH!
that South Beach diet is a good one! and you are right after you get through the first phase you can liberalize just a bit; I hear so many good success stories with it
ReplyDeleteI think I know the restaurant you are talking about in San Diego; it is a good one; you did good if you avoided the tortillas!
betty
