SBD: Update
Just a little update since my last post. I am still concentrating on weight loss. On December 14th's weigh in I hit 17 lost total. I didn't lose anything between that weigh-in & the next on December 21. Christmas & The New Year came; I gain 1.5 lbs and have stalled at that weight for now! Looking back at my numbers from the first time doing this, I see that a plateau is normal for my body at this point in weight loss mode. So I am just plugging along! If the pattern holds true, I'm due for a big loss at the weigh in after next! ;)

SBD: Monday Weigh In
Scale did not budge! I thought I would see a large loss because I have drastically cut my Diet Pepsi consumption. I went one week having only one. That is a HUGE thing for me. I was up to about 8 or so cans per day. I have replaced it with a coffee or tea in the morning and lots of water!!
Slow & steady wins this race...

SBD: Monday Weigh in
Down another 2 -- 14.5 total!
I will post my menu plan sometime tomorrow. Bob is out of town (returns tomorrow afternoon), Olivia works, and tomorrow we will go out to eat, as is the tradition when one of us returns from a trip out of town. Therefore, there was no urgent need to plan the Monday or Tuesday menus.

SBD: Week 2 Begins
Weighed in this morning...
Down 4.5...
According to my journal from my "original" diet, I lost 12 pounds the first week. Isn't that insane? At that time Phase 1 was SO drastically different from how I ate that the pounds just melted away. I wasn't expecting the numbers I had the first time and am very please with my loss.
Final Exam
Today was my final exam in Introduction to Digital Photography. I believe I did really well -- another 100% I feel. If so, that means I made it all the way through an 8-week course without getting a single question wrong on a quiz or test. I can say with confidence that I have never done that before! LOL!!
I am a little sad that this class has come to an end because I don't think there are any classes left to take if I am not going major in photography & use it as a career. I could learn these things, but I know I will never use them. That doesn't mean my fun class career is over. I have a few other ideas running through my head. :)

South Beach Diet Day 5
From SBD Phase 1 the first time, I remember feeling like crap on days 3 & 4. It is said to be because your body is so used to all the refined sugars & flours. I must not have been eating too horribly because I have none of that feeling today. Woohoo!!

Yes, I Can
I have spoke over and over about my battle with weight here! I am determined to get this extra weight off & keep it off. I will be 40 in March & want to be at a healthy weight -- good blood work numbers aren't enough for me because I know I could be doing more. My main probably is the bad habits creeping back in -- the worst of those habits is meal skipping! I started South Beach Diet Phase 1 (again) on Monday.
As of Monday's weigh-in, I have 63 lbs I would like to lose. I did not reach my high weight again, but I was close. Why do we do this to ourselves? UGH!
So, the countdown begins...
