I finally did it! I am so freaking happy! I completed the first phase of South Beach. The several times I have started South Beach I have only managed to do one week on it because for one it's quite expensive to do and two I am not very creative and get bored with eating salads every day and quit after one week. But I did it. I finished the necessary two weeks to complete Phase 1. YIPPEE!!! I am really proud of myself that I completed it, I managed to have headaches everyday the first week while I withdrawed from the sugar it was pretty bad, but the second week was better, no headaches and I managed to eat more veggies other than salads, I had much more variety I ate asparagus, green beans, broccoli and my stand by of salads.

And in 2 weeks lost 9 lbs!!!

Now this week I started Phase 2 which is much better you can have fruits and minimal carbs. So I am doing great I am so happy and I am doing Slim in 6 again and I'm walking 3 times a week with my cousin.

Hahaha Yes thanks I am! I lost another 2.5 inches this week! I think this week will be a good test, I am on vacation and do not have the rigid schedule of being at work so I am a little bit more lax so I'm hoping to still see positive results at weigh in on thursday!

I know, I went grocery shopping yesterday and spent 117 bucks, I had to buy two fridge packs of water because that is one of the things that is something I get for free at work, a ton of water, so in order to keep myself drinking the amount of water I do at work, I had to do it.

This will truly be the test. Working without a schedule. We'll see how I do with the Midweek Check in on Thursday!

CAn I hate you for losing 9 lbs? Nah, I'm proud of you for completing that first phase, and for sticking to SI6 and walking, and overall, doing really good.

Well you can hate me more because I've lost 11.5 at this point and 18.5 inches. Oops!!

Thanks I feel great Cher, I am very happy with South Beach, I haven't strayed at all from the eating plan and I am doing really well on SI6 even though Burn it Up was made by Lucifer, I am sure the next set of DVD's I get that I just ordered will just be as bad (I ordered the next set, Keep it Up and Slim Series which is the follow up to the SI6) since it's going to take 4-6 weeks to get here that will be just enough time that I will have needed to work through Burn it Up. YIKES!! I AM CRAZY!

Smile,

Deirdre
