Happy Birthday, JA!

It is my BFF's birthday today. I can't believe we have known eachother for 35 years! Crazy. I hope she has a great day. So far January has not been easy for her.

Success!

So I lost another 2 pounds this week. I am at 262.5. That makes 13.5 pounds total. I still have 86.5 pounds left. It seems insurmountable some days. I don't want to lose my will to do this. I really need to add exercise to this routine.

I also want to add pics of my projects to this blog.

Have a wonderful day!

I am going to try to post everyday, but that hasn't worked out so far, has it?

I did make it through week one on phase 1 of South Beach. I lost 6.5 pounds, so as of yesterday, I weighed 269.5. I feel better that I am out of the 270's, that is for sure. I thought that my cravings were supposed to decrease! I want sugar and fruit so bad. And cereal. I am doing ok with the potatoes and bread though. We went to Chili's on Friday and I had fajitas without the tortillas. It was yummy. I just wish I could cook for myself the same way.

On a sad note, Jennifer's Dad, Gregg, died on Saturday. It was quick and definitely unexpected. It has made me think about my own parents and their mortality. I know that no one lives forever, but it is hard to think about the day that they will not be around anymore. I feel so horrible for the Merrill family, and I think it hurts even more because I have known them more than 80% of my life. I have been on vacation with them. I spent more weekends at their house than my own in my younger years. Love to them.

2 days down, 12 more on Phase 1! I got really hungry this afternoon, but had some tea and it really helped. I am doing OK! I want to weigh myself, yet I know that I need to wait until Sunday again. Yahoo!

I had my "last supper" tonight at Nicolos. A cheesy sausage and mushroom calzone. I sure am going to miss the bread, potatoes and pasta. But I will be stronger and healthier for leaving them behind!

By the way, old friends are the best. I have such a hard time making friends, and it is awesome that some people know me so well and I don't have to try hard to enjoy myself. Love you Camps and Farrells!

See you tomorrow for the big weigh in!
