Southbeach Diet Phase 1 a Success?

I would say it was a success for phase 1 being on it 13 days I lost about 13 pounds. We are leaving tonight for a extended weekend trip filled with a lot of non phase 1 eating. :-)

Southbeach Diet Day 5

I weighed in this morning at 245.8 so the diet is obviously working that is 7 pounds I have lost now. I'm sure if I added more activity I would see greater gains. The extent of my activity so far is a 35 minute walk and 35 minute bike ride Sunday.

I have had multiple opportunities to break the diet. Sunday my fathers birthday lots of food at my sisters but I stuck to the diet. Monday night I had friends over they ordered Pizza I ate a salad with chicken slices. Today went out for lunch with co-workers at a nice restaurant I had a salad with salmon. I was just offered a home baked cookies from a co-worker and I actually picked one up and then realized oh my god I'm on the diet! NO! I put it back down (I know yuck I touched it and put it back down but oh well) I'm glad I caught myself I'm 5 days into this.

I actually feel good. Eating lighter and many times a day does help with not feeling so bloated from eating to much and having the desire to take a nap. I think it is that coupled with losing weight and feeling better about myself.

South Beach Diet Day 2

248.7 pounds this morning. Yesterday went good except left dinner craving more. I am use to having a BIG dinner with lots of carbs. Amie made "surprise potatoes" which was cauliflower blended with butter buds(fake butter) and fat free half and half. She also made a cabbage stir fry with broccoli, grape tomatoes. I really don't care for cauliflower or cabbage normally so it was surprisingly all good since its vegetables I'm not a big fan of.

South Beach Diet

I bought South Beach Diet Super Charged book at Sam's. Amie and I started Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet today. We shall see how this goes. I weigh 252.70 pounds. I would like to get back to my Post Marathon weight of 200lbs.

I have been in a relationship for the past year and 1/2 and I have become less and less active and gained worse and worse eating habits. I have noticed this is the case for a lot of relationships not only mine. People get comfortable and lazy.

After the first phase I plan on getting back on the bike, short runs, and weight lifting. The first phase is only 2 weeks. It is basically low carb, lean meats, and vegatables, no fruits.
