Yesterday was interesting. It wasn't what I expected. Lets just say I had oatmeal for breakfast and I got a sugar headache at about 11. Isn't that weird? It was like my body is so used to not having any sugar that it was overloaded by something as basic as oatmeal. Anyway, I also had 1/2 apple for a snack and that too hit my bloodstream fast! Anyway, by the end of the day I wished I could just stay in phase 1. How weird. It's like I have no desire for carbs because I feel so good. I think I just need to be more gradual and not have any in the morning. Still, it was nice to have more options. Here is my food log.

Breakfast-
Oatmeal

Lunch-
In-n-out protein style (this is becoming my favorite thing... dangerous)
diet coke

Snack-
1/2 apple with parm cheese shaved

Snack II-
Lettuce wrap with turkey and cheese

Work out- power pump 4:30 pm

Dinner-
Cucumber, avocado, yellow pepper, s/p, lemon juice salad (also my new favorite thing!!)

steamed milk with caramel sugar free flavor (Starbucks/barns and noble)

PS went to see Made of Honor with my friends last night to celebrate... so fun but the movie was terrible. Would've been cute but way too raunchy!! NOT COOL!

Hey Mandi, my love!
I thought I would check in...I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry I couldn't do the diet! I didn't know what I was in for and did not come prepared!! I had no real idea about the South Beach diet or what foods contain sugar. Milk? Carrots? Who knew!?
Anyway, I want you to know that you have inspired me and I'm doing my own version of a diet--
I'm working out everyday for 30 min to an hour and 1/2
I'm eating smaller portions (much smaller)
Cutting out snacks (or only healthy)
Sweets in very small portions
No eating after 9pm
Lots of water
It has helped a lot. I feel leaner and have lost a few. Thank you for inspiring (you and the cruise and bathing suit season!) I love you and your lurpy pounds!

Tuesday:
S- steamed milk/vanilla
B- eggs with ham
S- nuts
L- Black bean salad with chicken
S-lowfat cottage cheese.pistachios
D-1/2 beef chili
dessert- sugar free candy

Today was hard and I felt really snacky and ate too many snacks. I am going to lay off the sugar free stuff a little because i read that the artificial sweetner component keeps fat from being broken down. This is true about aspartame, I don't know about splenda. None the less, i feel like i am binging on what i am allowed to eat and I need to take it back a notch. Tommorow will be better.

P.S
You can eat double the pistachios than almonds. 15 almonds=30 pistachios
