Well, here goes!

Ok...I've had enough and figured it was time to do something about it! I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit and I'm sick of it! I want to be thin and fashionable again (and healthy, of course). So, after much thought, I've decided to give the South Beach Diet (um, I mean lifestyle) a try. Since most of my diet consists of sugar & carbs, phase I is exactly what I need to detoxify myself of the poison! So, here are my stats (ugh-can't believe I am typing this).

Starting Weight: 176.9

Goal Weight: 135

Pounds to Lose: 41.9

I can do it!


This is today's menu:

Breakfast:

2 Egg Muffins (Line muffin tin with foil liners. In a bowl, combine 8 eggs, 1/4 cup chopped prosciutto, 3 chopped green onions, 1/2 chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Mix well and fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake on 350 for 20 minutes.)

Coffee sweetened with splenda

V8 Juice

Snack:
1 String Cheese

Lunch:

Salad (chopped romaine, chopped cucumber, chopped green bell pepper, grilled chicken breast, shredded cheese, 2 T ranch dressing)
Dessert: Sugar Free Pudding Cup

Snack:
Celery stuffed with 1 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese

Dinner:

Grilled Flounder
Roasted Asparagus
Tossed Salad

Snack:
Sugar Free Fudgsicle


I couldn't stomach the V8-yuck. The egg muffins were delicious though! This is a lot of food. I guess that is how it works-you're so full you don't even want carbs and sugar. I hope this feeling lasts! By afternoon, I felt a bit bloated from all the roughage, although I am having my period so that could be part of the reason as well.
