Wednesday 03/25/04 - Day 11 on SouthBeach
and I think I am really liking my little Beach Vacation!
The day I went for my hysterectomy --- EIGHT MONTHS ago I was at my low carb 'low' that morning of 207. I was going to have body parts surgically removed. What more could someone trying so hard to lose weight want? Losing body parts surely would mean losing a couple pounds -- right? OH NO -- not for ME! I lost a couple pounds in body parts and managed to gain 5 Pounds! I went off program for a couple weeks. I wasn't cooking and friends and family were bringing in high carb meals. I was feeling really lousy and the comfort foods provided just that -- comfort. I got right back on track and stayed on track about 98% of the time. But that wasn't enough! I would go up a few pounds and down a few pounds but in EIGHT MONTHS I never again reached that low carb 'low' of 07/18/03 when the scale hit 207. I'd get to 208 but then I'd gain a few pounds again. It was so frustrating! When I started SouthBeach 11 days ago I was at 214. Just 10 days on the program and I've droped 7 pounds. Yep, that's right I've once again hit my low carb 'low' of 207! That's a total loss now of 40 Pounds! Can you tell how happy I am???!! And I am feeling really positive knowing that I will soon have some NEW Low Carb 'low' numbers popping up. And these will be ALL TIME LOW CARB LOWS for ME! Yep, SouthBeach has been good for me. I think I'll stick my sun umbrella into the sand and stay awhile!
And now for TODAY ----
B - serving of Metamucil Soluble Fiber
Slim Fast Low Carb Chocolate Shake
S - convenience store decaf coffee topped w/
apx 3 oz low fat vanilla cappaccino
L - 3 eggs w/ 1 oz low fat shredded cheddar
mixed with 1/2 cup cooked/shredded spinach.
I guess this would be '3 eggs florentine'.
S - I got a 32 oz diet fountain coke
D - Chicken ceaser salad w/lite italian dressing
Did excellent on the water. I drank ALOT of water today. I feel like I'm floating away. I think I may be retaining a little though-- I hope it doesn't catch up with me.
