Anyway, I am down another 2 pounds, so that is a total of 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I wish it were more, but I know that it is really good.
I have been doing Phase I of the South Beach diet. I have completed my two weeks. This week is going to be really hard for me. We have a 4th of July cookout to attend on Thursday. That involves me making a three-layer red, white and blue cake. And this is not to mention all the other goodies that will probably be there. I am going to try to watch myself, but it's a holiday. I am not going to deprive myself completely. I think that would be kind of self-destructing. To top it all off, my oldest daughter's 7th birthday is on Saturday. That involves me making a three-layer M&M rainbow cake for her. All this cake. In my face. It's going to be hard. I hope I can practice some type of self-restraint.
I am still plugging along with working out. I only worked out two days last week because the oldest got a slight cold and I wanted to keep her out of the pool because she had a swim meet on Saturday and I needed to make sure she was well. So, I skipped my Wednesday and Thursday workouts. I am back on the wagon today, though. I did my strength workout during her swim practice and then I did my cardio. I had a casear salad for lunch and a protein shake for breakfast. I would be lying if I said I weren't tired of protein shakes and salads. Bleh. There is a such thing as too much of a good thing.
