Yesterday was the last day of Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. I had only lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks but I am not disappointed with that. I’m happy that things are going slowly because it will be easier for me to keep the weight off in the long run (at least I hope).
Today is the begining of Phase 2 and during this phase we can reintroduce fruits and good carbs. I was so excited to have oatmeal and strawberries for breakfast today. I missed them. During Phase 1 I didn’t exercise because when I did I would maintain or gain weight. Not sure what was going on there. I did my best not to over do it but I could never get a good balance between the food I was eating and my workout. During Phase 2 I decided to do things differently. I’m going to be going to the gym during this phase but I am only going to be walking for 30 mins everyday. I am going to do this for a whole week and try my best not to weigh myself till next Tuesday. I just have to experiment with different types of workouts till I get the perfect balance.
I have something I want to share but I can’t!!! I have to wait for a little while before I can shared b/c I don’t want to jinx it.
