South Beach, again!

Before I start my blog.... the links that I am putting in here are bold and italized, the other links here are from some stupid advertising place that I won't name, because I hate that they are invading our blogs.... does ANYONE know how to get rid of them???

I'm on my third day of the South Beach eating plan, which worked really well for me last time I did it! The problem the was that I didn't continue with Phase II (which is the best part, really... that's when you get to add all the FRUIT....LOL!!) this time, I will do Phase II!!

I've made a couple of mistakes... the first day I ate some pinto beans before checking the Phase I food list (they aren't on there). Then yesterday, I went to dinner and ordered VERY well, but when they brought the bread, I instinctively grab a slice and took two bites before remembering, so I left the rest of it alone. Today so far, I'm on a roll!! LOL!! Of course, I've been home all day, haven't been out yet.... LOL!!

My main goal is to ween myself OFF of sugar... (which means that last night, WINE was OUT!!! OH, that hurt!!!) I know that sugar is my biggest obstical in my journey to lose weight. I really believe that if I could kick the sugar habit, I'd be well on my way.

Well, wish me luck... I know I'll need it!!

  1. I wish you luck with your diet. I know with determination you can do anything. Giving up sugar would be soooooo hard for me. You'll do just fine!

  2. good luck, Joann! I know you can do this! I know South Beach is a great plan to be on!! I didn't see any advertising on your blog; maybe I wasn't looking in the right place?

    I heard wonderful things about how great people felt when they got off of sugar; so just keep plugging away a bit at a time weaning it out of your food

  9. Hope you have great success. I know my youngest son lost about 40 lbs with that diet. I took a look at it and decided it would not be for me.

  10. I'm sure you'll do fine with the diet. My ex-wife was on the South Beach diet until she found a closer restaurant in Miami....

  11. Trouble giving up sugar? Trust me, I know and understand that struggle... Being a diabetic is a real pain in the tuckus... But I keep reminding myself that I can do this. My personal Axis of Evil: Sugar, Carbs, Caffeine. I have to remind myself daily that they are not my friends. Keep reminding yourself that YOU are worth it when it comes to doing this... kick butt Joann...
