• Got some major news today. Life will be taking a drastic change again. Mostly terrified, but hopeful too. Growing hurts. #

Okay, so I flaked last Sunday and didn’t check in for week 2. I’m actually writing this on May 11, which is the day for my Week 3 check in. But thanks to the magical powers of blogging software, I will be taking the liberty of having this update reflect when the check in was due.

I only bother telling you all this, for anyone looking and wondering why I didn’t write down any measurements or anything like that. My measurements will be missing because I kept forgetting to take them, but I can tell you how it went, anyway.

I’ve finished Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet! Yay, me! I stuck with the diet! It went very well.

I had no soda, no sugar, no grains. I’m so proud of me! The thing was, though, it wasn’t even hard. As long as I made sure to eat soon enough, my sugar never got so low that I craved sugar or any other high-glycemic foods. Still no exercise, though, and I didn’t lose any weight. But I’m feeling better, and even having regular bowel movements!!

I love this diet. I’m so glad I waited for the right one. Now if only I could muster the strength to do that with men! LOL

Stats are as follows (I’m 5′9"):
