7 days on the South Beach Diet Phase 1 and I am down 6 pounds! Simply amazing to me. I have never lost that much in one week. In fact, I have rarely followed a healthy eating plan for even one week.
Now comes the challenge. My little extended family is going to a resort for the weekend. My poor eating habits have roots in my family life (but I take full responsibility for not moving past that long ago). So there will be snacks, desserts, etc. And I am still in the no carb phase of South Beach.
I am claiming this promise: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
I considered at least moving to Phase 2 so I can have some carbs, but I am so happy with how things have gone I am going to stay the course.
Our lodging has a full kitchen, so I will be able to bring the foods I need for my snacks, etc.
I am running the race set before me! (And dong the happy dance)!
I went searching for free images to put in this post. I found all of these at http://www.fci.crossnet.se/.
I laughed when I found this one. Yep, I am only going to be THIN with Jesus' help. :)
