So I decided to jump start into my getting into shape by trying out the south beach diet...I'm three days into the 14day phase 1 aspect. I think it is really the only phase I'm going to accomplish. I just wanted to shed my growing spare tire and make it a bit easier for me on the climbs biking. If your not up on your diets the south beach is basically killing me...in the first phase you don't eat any sugars or charbohidrates at least as minimally as you can. So that means no fruit no cerials no breads no pasta no rice no potatoes ahhhhh my potatotes I miss you, no sugared foods etc. you get the idea.

The first day I pretty much bonked at 8pm and could barely do anything after that...I started napping cause that felt like the right thing to do. Day 2 I descovered nunts as a snack, and that helped. Today day 3 I discovered Jello sugar free pudding and I ate the whole 4 servings after dinner. Mmmmm I think you saved me mr. pudding.



Now for those of you who know me, experimenting with my diet isn't really a new thing. I did the 2 weeks with no meat no problem...then I did the 2 weeks without dry carbs, harder but bareable. I think I would rather give up meat than dry carbs I love bread too much. I have also fasted but drank fruit juices so it really wasn't that hard. This is hard, I can't wait till the next 9 days are over. But I also like the mental challenge of trying to keep disciplined to something, it is like an endurance test or something.

Well 9 days left I'll keep you posted on how the rest goes.

c-out
