First 6 day Results

I have been doing South Beach for 6 full days. I have been addicted to weighing myself daily, so waiting 6 days is in itself an accomplishment for me. I have lost 3.4 lbs. I am happy with the weight loss but I would also like to add that yesterday I wore a pair of shorts that about a month ago I couldn't even get over my hips. And also yesterday I was rubbing my arm while I was driving because it was itching and I felt some definition in my triceps muscle! That has not happened in YEARS! I have only exercised 3 times this week......2 days on the treadmill and one day with weights. So next week I have to do better with my goal being 4 days: 2 on treadmill and 2 with weights.

I won't even try to write down the food I ate for the week because I actually eat a good bit of food but the choices are very healthy. For example: Breakfast I eat two eggs scrambled with ham, cheese and chives (omelet style but scrambled instead) with 1 cup of Almond milk and 6oz. of veg juice. Morning snack cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and celery with hummus Lunch I will have something like grilled flank steak cut into strips on bed of mixed greens with cherry tomatoes, blue cheese and 2 Tbsp of low sugar Italian dressing. Afternoon snack a small handful of almonds with low fat cheese stick Dinner Last night I had 2 thin sliced grilled and seasoned chicken breasts with mock mashed potatoes and green beans. And I will use the leftover chicken for large salad for lunch today. Night snack plain Greek yogurt with homemade granola and two packets of splenda. All Day lots and lots of water!!!

I am starting my weekend off with positive results and I am motivated to keep on going!
