Today I started back on South Beach phase 1, after a week of vacation that resulted in a 3 lb gain. I'm actually feeling excited about starting back, because though I enjoyed eating out on our vacation and not worrying about my diet, I must admit I felt much better when I was eating a low-carb, low-sugar diet. So I'm beginning again.
I'm still 3 lbs down from my starting weight, and I hope to lose at least 3 lbs this week so I can get back to where I was.
This morning I had scrambled eggs and a slice of turkey bacon. Probably have a salad for lunch, and then tonight we are having tacos, so I will have taco salad with no chips. I also got the ingredients to make this AMAZING chicken salad that my friend Marla had made for me before, and it's all low-carb. The only thing in it that I'm not technically supposed to have is dried cherries, but since it doesn't use many of them I'm going to go ahead and make it. Then I can have that for lunches either by itself or over salad veggies. Yum!
And when my motivation takes a hit, because I know it will... I'm going to think of my friend Dorian and how awesome she is doing, and about her brother Dwain, because I've learned from him too, D. Love you!
Oh, you made me cry, you dork. You know how much I just loooooove that.
ReplyDeleteI love you, too. Thank you.
