Today has been one week since I started on the south beach diet and it was the first day that I have exercised. I did 20 min. on the Gazelle while I watched the new Pirates movie with my kids. 20 min was all I could handle, which was slightly discouraging, however it is a start.
Tomorrow is my official weigh in day for SBD, however i couldn't resist and weighed myself this morning. I was down to 283 lbs. The down side however is that my fasting blood sugar was high, it is the first time I have checked my sugar in months and I was highly disappointed with myself when I saw how high it was.
My goals are as follows:
1. Stick to the SBD guidelines for my meals
2. Exercise for 20 min. 3 days of the week (working my way up to everyday)
3. Monitor my blood sugars regularly
4. Drink Lots of water everyday
I hope and pray that the changes in my diet and routine will improve not only my weight, but more importantly my health. I feel that my goals are a good place to start for a healthier me.
I probably should have started this months ago when my doctor directed me to get back on the SBD, however life being as it is, is unpredictable and led me back to school in addition to working and being a mother and wife. Now I am done with my additional education (for now) and can refocus and teach myself a new lifestyle before the next upheaval (so to speak) of life arrives.
Well, for tonight, I say farewell.
Until next time!
