day thirteen & fourteen

I have great news! I'm just 1 1/2 days away from being finished with Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. 13 days ago, I honestly didn't think I was going to make it. However, I am pleased to report that I've lost roughly 9 pounds which is equal to one roll of the muffin top. {I would have a more precise weigh in but we have no device with which to weigh in. Thank heaven.} 

Thanks goes to Jen and Chris for their excellent coaching, encouragement and introduction to a perfectly decadent yet legal chocolate fix. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!! I made it through the ultimate test... Pioneer Day party at Grandma's house. I even sat at the table with corn on the cob (illegal), potato salad (illegal which I helped make), fruit (illegal, which I helped cut) etc. AND THEN... I fed Jack his homemade ice cream and brownie. Without eating it. Are you impressed? I'm still stunned. That said, tomorrow I get to start back with 1 fruit & 1 carb each day. YEA! I think I'll make it yet!

You've done an excellent job! Way to go. I almost think that it (the diet) is a will power strengthener as much as it a body toner.
