One Day to Go

Well, tomorrow we start the South Beach Diet again. I am dreading Phase 1. It lasts for two weeks. Here is my menu for the week:

Monday - baked chicken breasts
Tuesday - salmon
Wednesday - turkey roast white meat minus the gravy
Thursday - eat out - chicken caesar salads with no croutons
Friday - ham
Saturday - pork chops
Sunday - turkey dogs no bun

for breakfasts we will eat eggs and turkey bacon
for lunches - leftovers, tomatoes and cottage cheese, red pepper dipped in hummus, lunchmeat/cheese wrapped in lettuce
for snacks - almonds, peanuts, homemade meatballs, string cheese, homemade beef jerky

dd17 is doing it with us. so all i need to do now if figure out lunches for dd14. the grocery bill today was enormous, but I bought some $5 DVDs, too.

I bought Jerry McGuire, Look Who's Talking and a Knight's Tale.

Tomorrow I have to weigh, and I am NOT looking forward to that at all! Wish me luck!

Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life. ~Phillip C. McGraw, The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom, 2003
