I think you can all guess what that means. I have lost at least 10 lbs. I am so excited. I have been doing the South Beach Diet and exercising. I owe most of it to Jessica Cagle. She has inspired me so much. She let me ask all kinds of questions and didn't seem annoyed. We have been working out together alot. It is so much easier to have a workout buddy. I finished the first two weeks of the diet. Yesterday was the first day of phase 2. Phase 1 was difficult, but I know it had alot to do with the weight loss. I feel really good and cleaned out. I dont really crave sugar, i do carbs a little bit but not bad. I fight the temptation to eat a big plate of pasta for lunch like I used to do, I know I will have to do a ton of cardio if I do eat it so that is my motivation. The food on this diet is really great. I can pretty much have anything but differently than I used to. I used to never buy whole wheat pasta. I would buy whole wheat bread. But I would always eat all the bad stuff whenever I wanted. Now I can have a treat and not feel guilty. I like knowing that I am eating good. One thing I dont like is that they want you to eat artificial sweeteners. Im not too big on that. I tried a sugar free pudding last night and even gave it to Darren. It has a wierd after taste. So I think if I want a treat I will have the real thing, just not go over board and only have it once in a while. I wish they made a brown potato like brown rice. That will be hard for me. And they say to stay away from corn. But if I want some corn on the cob this summer, Im having some.
So thank you Jessica for putting up with my questions and wierd phone call when I was having a bad day. I am really glad that we are getting to know each other. It has been alot of fun.

WAY TO GO!!! I am proud of you! That is no easy thing to do. I know you have worked hard for it. Keep it up!!!!
Awwww....thank you. You have really inspired me too! All your questions and your drive have motivated me to get myself back on track just when I had really hit a slump.
So, thank YOU for coming into my life just when I needed you! :)
I am SOOOOO proud of you for sticking with phase one and losing 10 pounds!!!! No easy task!!
I am loving getting to know you better as well. I really enjoy your company. :) GO GIRL GO!!
That's awesome! Good job! I actually took a suggestion from someone who left a comment on your blog, and started counting calories. And using that website www.calorie-count.com. I've lost 5 pounds! Yea! I am totally with you on the artificial sweetener! I can't do it! Keep up the good work!
That's great Amelia! Keep up the good work. And I'm with you...stay far away from that poison (artifical sweetners) that they recommend - or at least allow. I'm in town now and pretty much settled. When should we get together. I'm about 45 minutes from Maple Valley (depending on traffic).
