7 Days to GO!

I have been on the South Beach diet Phase 1 for 7 days... With 7 to go!!

IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY HARD!

Forget about taking it day by day... More like minute by minute.

If it weren't for getting 2 teeth extracted 3 days ago, it would have been harder. I know that sounds weird, but my diet has been so restricted that my love and I have had to be very creative.

So far, our fave menu items are cauliflower mash and sugar free chocolate meringues.... Oh and traditional Mexican veggie soup!

I have lost 3 pounds since starting, which is apparently a lot less than normal...

I'm starting to think I may have a thyroid problem... Or maybe just a fat problem...?

Ok, from here on out, I will do daily updates on the SB diet Phase 1... Count down baby!

Oh, and 19 days of school left!

Ciao!

So Effing Hard..!

Hola!

Ok, tell me why it is soooooo effing hard to resist cake...? Especially when it's free?!?!

Couldn't resist it today... Also couldn't resist the 3 Reese's peanut butter mini eggs I found in my purse.

And even though my love tried to stop me from buying half off Cadbury Creme Eggs from Easter... I still couldn't resist.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO RESIST THIS SHIT?!?!

Well, I figure it's a matter of will power and a serious talking with my therapist... :)

Seriously, it's not hard to see I'm a food addict, specifically to sweets.

Now, be nice... I'm laying it all out there for the world to know.

(Now you see why I'm remaining slightly anonymous?)

My mother is a diabetic, and I have always had an underlying fear that one day, if I don't watch what I eat, I'll become diabetic as well.

So of course, it's natural that I'm addicted to eating sweets, or anything that is food for that matter. :)

Anyway, today my love and I had a great workout, but I have GOT to get my diet in shape...

So, how do I plan to do this...?

Well, the diet, rather eating plan, we have been following just hasn't gotten where I want fast enough so next week I will be starting on the Ketogenic Mediterranean diet, a.k.a the South Beach diet, a.k.a NOT EATING ANY CARBS, SWEETS, FRUITS (wtf?!), YOGURT (wtf?!) FOR A LONG ASS TIME... a.k.a I'm doing it for a week, seeing how I feel and trying for a 2nd... I'm not committing to anything longer right now...

Until next Monday, I am trying MY SUPER BEST to eat well and work out as much as I can..

After all, I really want to look great for my wedding (WTF?!?!) and perhaps for my 10 year high school reunion in June (??)...

BUT, more than that... I want to feel good about myself. I want to treat myself right. I really just want to love myself more. :)

Sunday Blues

Well, haven't eaten too well this weekend, but the week should be better.

I had posole today, and a very large, delicious tostada. Not the best for shredding those lbs.

Hmm, gotta do better than this.

Or at least less posole and tostadas.

:)

HOLY SHIT!!!

Hello,

I suppose I am trying to keep this blog for a few different reasons, but all center around the fact that I am getting married to one of the best men ever. I love him and respect him way too much to use his real name, but I can tell you he's a beautiful Mexican man and I love him more and more every day.

Moreover, I have decided to keep track of how my journey into marriage, wedding and all. I want to record my progress as a soon to be bride planning for a wedding, with very little money, simultaneously in debt, with a time-consuming job, and also trying to slash a few (more like 30) pounds so I actually feel happy on my wedding day.

I am excited and terrified.

More terrified at the moment, but I am determined everyday to enjoy the moments, rather than suffer in the details.

I am asking for help.

From anyone who knows me or anyone who's just reading this because of a typo in your search bar.

Help me stay accountable to realizing my goals of being happy as I plan for the ultimate life change.

Or just help me find cheap deals for my wedding.

Whichever it is, thank you for spending the time it took to read this, I appreciate it.

De mis mano a tus ojos, lo agradezco.

Leelee
