So I wasn't going to weigh myself again until this next Sunday right before dinner (as I did last Sunday), but the temptation could not be resisted. Even though I weighed myself after dinner, and I had some cheese today that was not low-fat, as well as some french fries the night before last...I was not disappointed.
I've lost 3 lbs and The Boyfriend 1 (he cheated a little more than I did by way of ginger bread dough and broccoli cheese soup). But all in all we've been pretty full. I need to get better at remembering when to have snacks. I have been a little headachey and sometimes dizzy when I don't. But that may not be the diet (I don't think it really is because the diet is essentially "EAT HEALTHY DAMN IT!") It may more or less be other health issues and luckily health insurance through my new job should kick in soon, Like within another week or so and once I'm signed up it's off to find a new Doc.
I know I know you're not supposed to start a diet without medical advice to do so first. But, honestly considering this diet was developed by a cardiologist and is essentially just sensible I'm not too worried.
Tonight we had an excellent array of food (except for my bland soup which I won't even count because I didn't eat it). I made sesame ginger garlic marinated tofu, sauteed spinach in olive oil with LOTS of garlic, and the South Beach book stewed tomatoes. Excellent! And then Lime Ricotta Creme for dessert.
Oh and earlier for lunch The Boyfriend and I had egg salad wraps(I added a special touch with green onions) on red leaf lettuce with salad. More excellent things.
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).
