The Diet Starts


235 lbs. Day one of the South Beach Diet. The day started out with two spinach/pepper/onion quiches. Those babies were good and dipped in some Tabasco it made every bite (each four of them) more tasty than the last. Ok, they were only the size of half a cupcake, but they were good. Salads and no sugars will be my marching orders for the next two weeks. On the South Beach diet you have three phases;one is the first two weeks and it eliminates all complex carbs and you drop the first segment of your weight quickly; phase two is the gradual weight loss until you get to your goal weight, then it it phase three on going. If you read the book, it really makes sense just eat healthy meals and you can stray when on phase two or three, but just compensate by going back to one briefly. The last time I went on SBD I lost quickly and felt very good about the diet, er ah, lifestyle change. Dinner was good too, we had Tilapia and broccoli, we both had a cheese stick for dessert.
Both Lori and I have been good for day one and there has been no cheating. That is the way it will stay according to Tom, diet Nazi.
Chelsea called yesterday and she is doing great in Japan. She sent us two nice boxes of Japanese things over Christmas. Too bad one of the coffee cups for our neighbors Perry and Mary did not make it in one piece though. She got coined by one of the colonel's the other day and that is a big thing for an airmen. We miss you and love you Chels!!!!
