DAY 3

Ok, how come is it when you have your mind made up to do something all this obstacles get in the way for you to be able to reach your goal?
I understand why some people bail on keeping a journal, because it is just so hard to remember to write everything down throughout the day.  I have been slammed at work that I totally forget about it or just don't have the time.  Then when I get home the kids want me to do stuff with them.  So I'm gonna try to put all my thoughts down from the last couple of days so I can get caught up on here.
Summary:
So I went to the doctor to discover that not only am I fat I'm practically considered obese since my BMI is 30.  I am completely out of shape and lazy due to having a sedetary job, and I can't even make it the whole 20-25 minutes of one of Jillian's videos.  And lastly, this diet is way hard the first 2 weeks, because I realized in the last 3 days that everything I normally eat is all on the "Foods to Avoid" List.
I have continued to persevere on the healthy eating part of this journey, but I keep having set backs to the physical side.  I so need more gumption when it comes to that part of this journey.

Ate well again yesterday.  I had some more of the Candian Bacon Cups my hubby cooked on Monday for breakfast.  Celery and Hummus for a mid morning snack.  A Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad for lunch, which was from McDonald's by the way.  Yes you can have McDonald's to an extent on the diet.  Surprise!  There is a fast food dine out guide on the South Beach Diet.
I had mixed nuts, but mainly ate the cashews for a mid afternoon snack, and lastly I had some wonderful dinner that my husband prepared.  He cooked Sauteed Chicken and Steamed Green Beans with a "Peanut Butter Cup" for dessert.  Amazing by the way! Who would have thought that a sugar free fudgesicle, peanut butter, and some sugar free non fat cool whip mixed together could be so delicious and actually taste like a peanut butter cup?
Well should be caught up to today now.  I'll share more tonite about what happened today.
Talk to you soon!
