These have been the highlights of my day thus far:
1. Getting to chat with Heather first thing in the morning. I love it when she doesn’t ignore me when she is online. 😉
2. Enjoying a lovely morning snack of Babybel.
3. Getting my grocery shopping done on my lunch break and re-discovering the sugar-free candies that are allowed during the Induction phase of the South Beach Diet.
4. Meeting Erin in the hallway to “swap” candies. (I bought peanut butter cups and she got mint patties, so she gave me one of hers and I gave her one of mine.) It was SO 3rd grade.
5. Enjoying a lovely afternoon snack of Laughing Cow and celery.
6. Emailing back and forth with the adorable, and oh so loveable, Carole.
7. Looking back at how all most of my highlights relate to food. *sigh* Such is life on the South Beach.
While I really do miss bread and I dream about pasta, I am loving that every time I get on the scale I have lost another pound or two. I have lost about 9 pounds in 6 days. Gotta love that kind of motivation!!
What do you think of the South Beach Diet? I have wanted to try but I am not sure how well it will go over 😉 But I have to do something, I miss my old self…. Good luck to you!

Hi friend! I know how you feel. How come when we diet, all we can think about is food?
South Beach is a lot like Atkins, with the low-carb stuff, but it encourages low fat/reduced calorie products, where Atkins lets you have full fat. Also with South Beach you can have fruits and veggies where for the most part that isn’t allowed on Atkins. Overall its just about learning to eat the RIGHT carbs.
mmmm…laughing cow. I forgot about that stuff from my weight watcher days. How is South Beach? I don’t know much about it.
