Wade Waters Vs. Stay on the Beach?
| Thu, 11-20-2003 - 8:29am |
I thought it would be interesting to see who was going to wade the waters of the beach or stay on the beach for Thanksgiving.
I will be, if I am lucky, participating in a half marathon on Thanksgiving morning. I was sick this week, but I am telling you guys, ZICAM works wonders. Anyhow, I will be wading off the beach this Thanksgiving. My mom is an awesome cook, and I want all the goodies. I'll do it within reason though. You guys have read my posts and know I believe in giving a little now and again if you are ready.
Anyhow, just curious... any thoughts on wading or beaching?

I have been doing this since 9/8, and I know the ins and outs of the program. I workout, run, and strength train and have a good time doing that and the Beach. I have been reading posts from people a little nervous about Thanksgiving, so I posed the question titled in this Thread. For some people, it is an either/ or thing. For me, it is a WOE that I know how to handle...reason I call it wading if I deviate from the plan a little. As for going back to Phase 1, I won't be doing that. Unless I screw up royally sometime between now and then, I won't be jumping back and forth, to and from Phase 1. Regarding exercise, I'll run in the Outback 1/2 Marathon 8am on Thanksgiving morning, so I think I'll be in a good position.
As for control, I know for certain that I am in control. Thanks for reminding me though.

Good luck to all of you. I hope you meet your goals and, by all means, never, ever, ever give up.

I'll be on the Beach with a little bit of toe-dipping, perhaps.

I'll be surfin' out here. I may wipe out (fall off the board), but I won't worry about it. It happens to every surfer from time to time: You just get back on the board swim back into shore, and go out surfin' again. It's a natural part of surfing. (To tell the truth, I've never been real surfing in my life...did live at the beach in college...and now I've got Jan & Dean and Beach Boys songs running through my head...AAAACK!)
There was a "South Beach Diet Disaster" profiled in the last chapter of the book. This man went off the Beach for a special occasion and never returned. Dr. A's response was to the effect that
Ok now, I was reading your posts to GA Girl about how most of us follow this diet a little bit differently, some more by the book than others. Well, as I have been one of the more "creative" South Beachers and had a cookie here and there, my eggnog latte with skim milk, etc... my goal was to stay this weight until after the holidays. For me that was good and realistic. I have been super, super good about all other food, esp. carbs though... and then lo and behold I step on the scale this morning (post pee, pre coffee and buff naked!) and 2 pounds lost this week! Woo Hoo! I am amazed!
