These last few days have been mind boggling to me. I guess my body is trying to figure out what's going on. I have stayed the EXACT same all week long. I guess it's a good thing, I'm not gaining, but man, you'd like to get on the scales one morning and see it going somewhere.
The last three nights I've been on Ethan's WII Fit and exercising. According to the BMI and weight data on there, I've lost a couple of more pounds than what my scales say. So if I get on there in the morning and it's still the same, ignore the shattering glass sound you hear as I'm tossing them out the window ;)
I've been oh so good too this week with the South Beach plan. Only eating what's allowed and having HUGE salads at lunch time. I am not a meat eater per se', but at lunch time I tend to crave not only meat then, but something hot with my salad, so I've been taking pre-cooked turkey bacon or some other kind of allowed meat to re-heat and put that on it too. The other night I made a South Beach Taco Salad sans chips. Yummy it was really good and very filling too. I am finding I'm satisfied with either one egg or one piece of turkey sausage in the morning for breakfast. One thing I'm continuing to do as well is eat every 2-3 hours, never more than 4 hours apart. That contains the hunger to where you hardly think you're dieting.
I really like how I feel on this plan. No brain fog. Lots of energy. Clearer skin. These things happened right away too. This time around, I'm trying hard to focus on what I can accomplish and not what I fail to do. If I eat something not on the plan, so what? Life goes on. It's not CHEATING. It was a choice I made. When you think of it as cheating, you feel like a failure. When you take ownership of your choice and realize it was what you truly wanted at that time, then you knew there were possible consequences to go along with that choice. You can always make better choices the next time. And let's face it, none of us are perfect. Just don't set yourself up for FAILURE. Be happy with the little things that occur.
By the way it is DAY 11 for me WITHOUT SODA/POP. Coming from the girl who used to drink 44-68oz.+ PER DAY of cherry coke. My new favorite drink is Crystal Light Peach Mango, Metabolism +. I get the sweet taste, have my thirst quenched and a little caffeine to keep me boosted I suppose.
I BADLY want to lose 15 pounds this first month. That would put me at 225. That's not far off really. Halfway there. Maybe this will be the first Halloween in a long time I'll actually look forward to walking the neighborhoods with Stephanie Trick or Treating.
Thanks for stopping by, leave me a note and let me know your tips on South Beach and how well you're doing too. Lana
