Day 5

I just realized I didn't post on this last night. Wednesday was a rough day. I missed breakfast and then had lunch at home at noon - eggs, turkey bacon and pistachios. Not a hint of carbs to be found. And I ate too much. I tried to run later in the afternoon but all the treadmills were occupied so I opted for the elliptical instead. I was bored though so I ended up not working too hard. Then at night I went to Kevin's for Jake's Christmas program and had chips for supper. And more pistachios when I got home. Not a good day for eating.

Day 4

Interesting start to the day. I actually had my egg whites, as I used to all the time, but they didn't settle well initially. But it's what I need to do for breakfast. I did have a couple krumkake today and 2 pieces of WP pizza. Later I had chicken with salsa and cheese - yummy - and pistachios. They have become my popcorn. I love pistachios. mmmmm But the kicker of it all, I made sugar snap peas for supper and completely forgot to eat them. It takes a special kind of stupid to forget to eat. Well, I didn't forget to eat, but I forgot to eat them. We'll see how they reheat.

Oh, and ran a little today - I think a mile for sure, then I got bored and didn't really run much after that. I HATE TREADMILLS. I'm wondering if I should get an iPod to run on the treadmill. Outside at least I have things to look at; TV and shed walls just don't cut it. I also did pushups (20) and situps (25). I need to up those numbers but both RB and I have that goal so that'll help.

Day 3

Today was okay. I didn't really eat today, though I did have a couple cookies and krumkake (I was baking and the baker must taste, after all). Anyway. I did figure out a few things with this diet. My favorite pizza (wolfgang puck) is okay for me to eat...it's made with all healthy stuff so I'm good to go! WOOHOO!

I don't know if this whole SB restart is going to work or not. I hate to be negative too soon, but it is the holiday season. I'm trying to hold off on the snacks, especially cookies and such, but who knows how that will go. I didn't run much last week but have to this week. It's just that time of year again where I just want to curl up at home and knit. I don't know. Wish me luck.

Day 2

Today was okay. I started out running late so I had string cheese and a SB bar during my AM meeting. Then I went to lunch at Subway and had a wrap, which I'm not supposed to have. Oh well. I didn't eat or drink anything after that for 4 hours so by the time 4:30 came around I was so thirsty and hungry that I came home and had 4 egg whites and a yolk and 5 piece of turkey bacon (and a piece of cheese). I did break down and had hot cocoa because it's cold here. Oh well.

Day 1

Alright, here I go. Today I started South Beach again. I didn't start at Phase 1 this time, not because I couldn't, but I know that the next couple weeks will be hard to avoid carbs. I'm just going to be a little smarter about which carbs I take in. I had a South Beach bar for breakfast which was good since it took an hour to get through the lunch line at work. I opted for the chicken, salad, and sunflower seeds. I was hoping for cottage cheese but they didn't have any today. I'm proud to say I did skip the pasta (even though it smelled so good) and I didn't have the bun. The rest of the afternoon flew by and I drank a diet coke to fill me up. Then I came home and had a South Beach pizza and some cheese. Hopefully the next few days will be okay and I can stay on track.

Restarting

December 1 will be a restart of South Beach for Moe. I've become a big fat tub of goo and I'm tired of it. I need to stop eating and learn to eat better. While this is the worst time of year to begin, I need to do it.

I won't necessarily be writing everything I eat each day but I will keep this as a journal of how I'm doing and how I'm feeling. Too many cookies lately have caused my weight to balloon up again. Not good.

So see you Saturday and we'll start this fun game again. Woohoo!

A resurrection of sorts - Day Zero

Okay – so here I am again. I explained on the other blog that I'm not going to go back on SB right now (maybe after the marathon) but I need some place to track what it is I eat during the day so I can really see what it is that's keeping me from having the energy I need. So today is Day Zero and we'll begin tomorrow.
