Splurging and Sacrificing

So this may not be so interesting to everyone. But enjoy my random ramblings as I try to get into shape (once again).

Desperation For Greasy Potatoes VS Desperation To Stay Healthy

So I'm doing what I said I wouldn't and starting a diet. I needed some motivation. Some guidance...and some way of keeping me away from that 170lb mark.

South Beach here I come. No not the hurricane ridden posh beach community...rather the structured diet I think I need.

Won't go too much into the details of how it works, but I am doing it mostly vegetarian so that it's easier to cook for both the boyfriend and myself. We have to follow the first phase for 2 weeks which is much more strict on carbs but here's what we had today.

Breakfast: Asparagus, low fat cheese, and mushroom omlette. 6 oz of V8 juice.

Morning Snack: Celery filled with a wedge of Laughing Cow low fat french onion cheese.

Lunch: Veggie patty, salad with cherry tomatoes, pine nuts and homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

Afternoon Snack: Almonds, lite babybel cheese

Dinner: Tofu Cacciatore, steamed asparagus, salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions with olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Dessert: Vanilla Ricotta Creme.

All in all I haven't really been hungry all day so that's good. That doesn't mean that I won't get some carb cravings. I did go into the grocery store today to buy cupcake foil cups (for making mini breakfast quiche) and had to desperately tear my eyes away from the potato chips.
