Okay...this is for the ladies who wanted me to update occasionally...sorry it's been so long. I am still on Phase 2 and losing weight, but it is much slower. I believe I've lost approx. 12 lbs and yesterday was the 4 week mark. I'm finding that having less rules in Phase 2 actually have made it harder for me. I've had a couple of cheat days, but overall I've stuck to it pretty well. I've still had no Dr. Pepper, but I am drinking 1 Diet Coke with Splenda a day now and try to just drink water the rest of the time...and, of course, the Fresca!
Anyway...I'm still alive and going.
So...yesterday was my final day in Phase I and I finished 9 lbs less then I started. It's a great accomplishment even though I wanted to go for 10-12, but I just tell myself it's because of the muscle I've built that is offsetting it with my exercise!
But seriously...I'd recommend the SB to anyone. Phase II should be easier, however, there are still many things I am not supposed to eat.
But with this post, I sign off as my last dieting post....I'm getting sick of reading it myself, ya'll must be...anyway...thanks for all the encouragement & support I got from the family to get healthier...2 weeks later and 1/3 of the way done! Woo Hoo!
Okay...it's Day 14, technically my last day of Phase I and this morning, I must confess that I cheated for the first time! I'm definately not going to beat myself up about it...but there you have it! But as a means to justify my cheating, here are my thoughts. Lynna and I met at 5:30 this morning for our first class with Worthy of the Prize, which is a morning workout located at Anderson Mill Baptist Church. It was a great workout and I was so starving by the time I took a shower & got cleaned up. So, I went to one of my favorite, very missed, morning places, Taco Shack and got myself a breakfast taco...definately a no-no...but I must say that I savored every bite with a smile on my face!
Hopefully there will be no more cheats for me especially since I have a weigh in tomorrow morning to see how much weight I lost in Phase I!
Well I don't have much to say I guess...other then I did put on 1 size smaller of jeans this morning and even they are a bit baggie in the waist! Woo-Hoo! I'm actually considering extending Phase 1 an additional week, but we'll see if I still feel that way come Day 14.
I wish I had more great recipes to share, however, most of the ones I've tried have not been great at all...I've found at this point, it's just easier to grill a piece of meat and have a side of veggies!
I love this video. It's a huge acapella group that starts by "making rain" with noises...but it might seem slow at first, but keep watching once they add in the thunder, it's incredible...then you can just listen to their rendition of Africa by ToTo.
I'm hoping this link will get you there...
