Down 2 More Pounds!

Okay so I am finally seeing some of the bloating from this past week go away. I think my new diet (even if I've been on it for only 1 day) is definately helping. I stepped on the scale this morning and was 174.5 and this evening I'm 174 exactly. That's a good sign for me at least when I weight less at night than when I did in the morning. I was stuck at 176 for two weeks. I'm so glad my body is finally letting go of some of the water I must've been retatining.

I really hate the first phase of South Beach. I'm not a big protein eater which is why it drastically changes my body. I just keep telling myself...12 more days until I can reintroduce some carbs and fruit back into my diet.

The only reason I am sticking to the first phase is because of the results. I really need some inspiration right now to just keep losing. I was going to the gym everyday and lifting weights. My body looked different but the numbers weren't changing. Now the numbers are finally showing me what I already know and I am really excitied.

The only thing I am allowing myself is to eat the fat free yogurt I just bought. On South Beach Phase 1 you are only suppoused to eat 4 oz. of fat free yogurt a day (he concludes that milk bloats you). However, I just bought it! Plus, can one cup of yogurt (6 oz.) really hurt me that bad? Okay! Today I actually had two cups, but still. I hadn't had enough calories so I had to give in to that extra 100 calories because I know from prior experience that starving my body by short changing calories gets me no where.

I'm off to take a bubble bath and relax before I have to begin my lesson plans. Who knew studying to be a teacher was so much work? Honestly. We have more intricate lesson plans than any teacher I know.

Hope you all are having a great Monday!
