I have a chef house guest at the moment. Since he arrived, we’ve been playing a sort of table tennis. He serves up a delicious meal heavier in fat and carbs than I’m used to and I counter with a leaner, vegetarian dish. We both acknowledge and appreciate each other’s ability and taste. The only problem – for me –is that I’m being weighed down by his “good” food. I realized yesterday as I struggled to pull my jeans pass my hips that I need to change the rules. For the next two weeks I’ll be back practicing my game: Phase One of South Beach. That means absolutely no carbs – no alcohol, no fruit, no starch, no sugar –no carbs period. So for the next two weeks I guess you can say I’ll be whining and dining.

The next two weeks, doesn't sound like much fun though. :0)
ReplyDeleteI did that last week. It was not fun. I did lose a bit of weight, though.
ReplyDeleteSo you're a week ahead of me (and may I point out that Phase One is for TWO weeks, particularly for those of us who've back-slid for a rather long time!).
ReplyDeleteTrue. And I plan to continue phase 1 for at least 4 weeks. I really need to get some of this weight off. I will feel a lot better. Unfortunately, the best way to do it is exercise, and the exercise I like is walking...but not in sub freezing weather. It will warm up soon then it is back to the short hikes.
