week of updates

Here you go, JB:

I suck.

Monday and Teusday were okay, but most of my night meals consisted of tea, pistachios and/or eggs and SF chocolate. Wait, I guess Monday I did have chicken which was pretty good.

Wednesday I didn’t eat lunch…wait no, I had a SB meal bar which tasted icky, and then I broke down and had Wendy’s chicken strips for supper. If it helps they tasted icky too.

Thursday it was a turkey/bacon/avocado wrap at OC’s and another night of eggs and SF chocolate.

Today I had eggs for breakfast and that’s it so far. I’m scared to see what tonight brings. Uffda.

crappy day

Well this weekend was interesting. I was good until Sunday when I had some strawberries and pizza topping. I even successfully avoided the apple pie I made for the ID workers, even though it was seriously taunting me.

Today is okay. Well, no. It’s not I had my eggs without cheese this morning and then I walked down to Speedy to look for SF chocolate, which they had none. I ended up buying SF crème wafers and a Skor bar because it had less sugar than most, amazingly enough. I had 3 of the cookies and all of the skor bar. Today sucks.

Moving into the next phase

• 2 scrambled eggs from cafeteria
• 2 SF Red Vines
• Salad, chicken, cheese, OG dressing
• 1 20oz, 1 24 oz, 1 28 oz bottle CL tea
• Pistachios
• Cool whip
• Chicken from Chilis and some broccoli

I weighed today too. I’m down a couple pounds from the beginning of the month, which basically means I’m down about 3 from the beginning of the week (last weekend was a free for all eating and so I’m sure I gained at least one if not more).

Next week is whoosh week and I’m thinking of going to phase 1.5 (mostly because I was stupid and brought strawberries last night and strawberries sound so good). But also because it’s basically phase 1 anyway with the occasional break with carbs. I need to get running again and I know if I don’t have a little bit of carbs it’ll be rough to get back into it. So just a few of the good ones here and there. That’s it.

How am I doing?

• 2 scrambled eggs from cafeteria
• 3 SF Red Vines
• Salad, chicken, cheese, OG dressing
• 1 20oz, 1 24 oz, 1 28 oz bottle CL tea
• 1 diet coke
• I small piece steak
• Pistachios
• 2 Red Vines
• 1 SF RS pecan cluster
• Some sugar free coolwhip

Third day - it's still going

• 3 egg whites, 1 full egg, a bit o’ cheese
• 3 SF Red Vines
• 3 bottles tea
• 4 cheese cubes
• ¼ cup chicken noodle soup – mostly broth and chicken (a couple noodles slipped in)
• Standard salad with chicken, cheese and OG dressing
• Pistachios for supper again
• 1 full diet coke
• 1 piece SF RS pecan cluster
• Small piece of LS communion bread/wine

One note of fun – I actually feel better now that I’m back on this. Thought the energy is lacking a bit with lack of carbs I am feeling healthier – cleaner, if that doesn’t seem to gross. I’m debating on staying on Phase one for the full two weeks though. I may move to Phase 1.5 next week and then onto phase 2. We’ll see how it goes.

Keeping strong!

• 4 egg whites, 1 full egg scrambled, cheese
• One 24 oz, Two 20 oz, CL Peach Tea
• One Lite Sargento string mozzarella
• Salad, cheese, chicken chunks and OG dressing
• 3 SF Red Vines (I think I had three)
• Pistachios – yes I had pistachios for supper – a great energy booster since I was dragging having no carbs since Sunday
• ¼ can Diet Coke (Funny, since last week this was my staple liquid)
• More CL Tea

Not bad so far

Monday, Sept. 11, I consumed:

• 3 egg whites, 1 full egg, scrambled with some Kraft cheese
• 1 Lite Sargento string mozzarella
• Lettuce with Kraft cheese and 2 hard boiled eggs (all of the egg!)
• Three 20oz bottles of CL peach tea.
• 1 chicken breast (ginger chicken from the SB recipe book)
• 2 pieces of SF Russell Stover’s pecan clusters
• 1 CL lemonade hard candy
• A few soy nuts (note to self: buy pistachios)
• ¾ can Diet Coke

Finnegan, begin again

Today is the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 and the restart to me and South Beach. Over the weekend I splurged on chocolate and ice cream and pizza and Olive Garden. Today I’m back on Phase 1. I have gained that much from the time I stepped off the program (basically around my Alaska trip) but I’ve gained enough that I’m annoyed and I’m making a new start.

This blog will be boring – just forewarning. I’m going to do my best to list everything I eat and when I exercise so I can see how I’m doing (including the ‘slip ups’ - which may happen today with the smell of fresh cookies for the chapel break...mmmm).

Here’s to making the 1996 135 weight by Dec. 1. Woohoo! Of course, sooner would be better and welcomed. :)
