2 1/2 pounds are back...

I'm not sure is they are muscle or fat or water (cause I am not seeing my Doc weekly now) either way... Not too good especially since I have been adding carbs back into my life! Ok take a breath, don't panic its only 2 and a half pounds (Yeah... right now...) I have a plan:

This week:

• Back on South Beach Phase 1 (the strictest phase) No problem, its easy and I love the food!
• Back to T-Tapp everyday (went to every other day to give my muscles a rest, guess they rested too much!
• Aunt Flow just left too. Whew glad to see her gone... (That actually could be the whole gain problem, we'll see)
• I had been getting my outside carido swimming but I do't think its enough... I hate to say this... but either I get up at O-Dark Thirty and walk or get on the treadmill.   I mean that is why we bought it... for those summer daze when its 205 in the shade and too hot to walk out there. *Sigh*

South Beach Diet meals today...

These recipes are amazing... 

I am really loving the South Beach Diet. 

Mostly because I love to cook, also because it will be easy to turn eating like this into a way of life!

Yesterday we had:

Breakfast: 

Scrambled Eggs (2 egg whites and one yoke) and a slice of Canadian bacon and 4 oz of V8 juice.

 Lunch:

South Beach friendly broccoli/cheese soup and some crunchy radishes.

Dinner:

Soy/Ginger glazed grilled pork chops, steamed snow peas and cauliflower "rice".

Warning: Don't click on that pork chop photo if you are hungry!

I'm using this book right now... 
Its amazing and there some new recipes in it that I am going to try first.

Slight Detour...

On the way to the South Beach Diet... we took a little trip to Disneyland!

But that didn't mean we couldn't eat healthy and in fact made it a fun game to eat healthy at Disneyland! It was actually quite easy!

So we were able to eat healthy and get our walking in! 

Five miles a day at least!

So we are back home and I'm going to cook my way through the
