Day 2

Well today was much harder. i am attempting the South Beach Diet and the first two weeks
(Phase 1) are a pain in the ass. Today is my first day of the diet because I didn't have any of the food really for it. I had ot go shopping today and was blessed by a stranger who insisted on paying for our groceries after finding out my husband and I were both military people and he was gone.

Breakfast:
So let's see. For breakfast I had turkey bacon, scrambled egg whites, a spoonful of peanut butter and a reduced fat string cheese (that Aden stole so I didn't have cheese). Plus 2 glasses of water.



Snack:
A handful of pecans, cashews, and almonds.

Lunch:
Turkey wraps: since I cannot have any bread of any kind, I took 6 slices of very thin turkey and split into two and put a touch of weight watchers cream cheese, mustard, and fresh spinach and rolled them up. Was not too bad but was really craving some carbs. Did cheat and have some more nuts but only because I did not have enough veggies for the veggie portion I was supposed to have.

After lunch we went to the store to buy some fresh veggies and other things I could eat. The store was crazy busy because of the weather finally being nice and it being a Saturday. We waited at the checkout for over 30 minutes. This is where I met the kind stranger who bought my groceries.

Dinner:
I had planned to make a nice dinner but two of the boys passed out and didn't want to wake up so it was just Chase and me. I was not that hungry so I snacked on cucumbers and was craving sweets. I decided I would make a dessert/breakfast recipe I read online called Mock Cinnabon.

Mock Cinnabon: 3/4 cup cottage cheese, 2 tsp of Splenda, cinnamon (to taste) topped with a few pecans. I warmed it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it was delicious. That and two cups of my Tazo tea did the trick for satisfying my sweets craving.

Snack:
I snacked on cumumbers with Aden and Chase before bed too.

I did not follow the diet to a T today but now that I have all the groceries I plan to do better. I am still eating less and healthier so that is an improvement for me. I also drank only water so that is a huge thing for me. I just hope the craving for soda goes away soon.
