Hey everyone! I haven't been by for a couple of days. Been busy and having problems with the diet. On Wednesday, I had a blood sugar low even after eating a good sized lunch AND snack. I wasn't prepared for it, I didn't bring any more food. My boss gave me the choice of an apple or a snickers. I chose the apple.
It's not allowed on phase 1, but it's fine. I felt better and have not had carb cravings since the friggen apple except for yesterday when DH wanted to go out for dinner and a movie. I convinced him to go to outback because I knew I would find something to eat there. I had a sirloin steak, green beans and a sweet potatoe, with a ceasar salad (No crutons!). I ate my steak and my beans, had one bite of the potatoe and let DH finish it off.
We went to Walgreens to get candy and drinks to sneak it. (I'm not paying those theater prices!) I got a caffine free coke, he got his sour gummies so I wouldn't be tempted to get into his candy. I got some sugar free candy. Sweet n low coconut clusters. Well, stupid me, the movie was so good, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I had eaten 6 of those candies.
We saw Lady in the Water. It was GOOD!
I have been having problems with the South Beach diet with stomach aches and so I have modified my fat intake a little carefully and am doing better. It may not be 100 percent south beach, but I am delighted to report that I have LOST 6 POUNDS SINCE SUNDAY!!! WOO-HOO!!!
I have been working out faithfully, though I did not today and might not tomorrow. My belly dance class was brutal and my calves are so sore, I'm afraid to push on and possibly hurt myself. Might go for just a low-impact walk tomorrow to keep the blood going.
I'll drop in later. Happy weekend South Beach Babes!
