So, I'm not really sure what's wrong with my diet/body, but today is Day 39, and I still haven't seen any changes! I'll admit, there are some pants that fit a wee bit looser, but others that are tighter than ever. Obviously, the plan is to stick with South Beach (because I've got to see results eventually, right?) but I am getting frustrated with the lack of change I've experienced. I know I don't have much to lose (15-20lbs, tops), but shouldn't I be seeing some form of change? I haven't weighed myself (I hate scales), so I always guage my results by my clothes and by my measurements. So far, nothing is happening. Ugh.

In happier news, I paid off my Mastercard today!! That was a huge rush for me, since it always seems to be racked up with crazy purchases. I almost booked a last-minute trip to Puerto Vallarta for next week (it was an *amazing* deal), but I resisted because I want to live without credit card debt for awhile.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Cheers,
Stef

Here is my day:

B: Kashi waffle, 1 c. plain ff yogurt (I've had this every morning for about 2 weeks so I'm getting a little bored, but I still love it. Tomorrow maybe I'll have eggs instead.)
S: none

L: ww tortilla, 1/2 leftover chicken breast, 1 tbsp ff sour cream, salsa.

S: apple

D: grilled salmon, grilled onions and zuccini, big salad dressed with flaxseed oil and BV

DD: probably canteloupe

I had 3 grain servings today, which I've never done before, but having 2 ounces of starch at lunch kept me going longer in the afternoon, which is good. I'm thinking that in the future I am going to have protein (eggs) at breakfast instead of my waffle and then continue to have a whole tortilla or pita at lunch, because lunchtime is when I really need food to keep me going. I weigh in on Sunday, so maybe on Monday I'll start doing that and see if it has any negative affect on my weight loss.
