Ok, so I fell off the SB wagon again already! What the heck is wrong with me?
got my hubby back on board (not that he needs to lose weight) and he is going to eat right and workout with me. So maybe this is the little extra help/push I need. It was so much easier when he was doing it with me. (He does phase 2 though since he is already thin)

So......I blew today already. yes, someone slap my hand cuz I need it!
I promised Jo and myself i was gonna do this and by George, I AM!

Yeah you forgot all about me TASHA! Of course I dont have time but for my SOUTHBEACHERS I can find time lol lol Sorry you're having such a hard time Tasha but ditto what SHANNA said go to Phase II girl I'm eating more and still losing my 2 to 3 lbs I love it and the variety is better. I had a Cinnamon Raisin Bar mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so good! Well you have always been a wonderful buddy to me and I am here....even though you forgot to tell me lol loo I forgive you and love you much...and excuse me yall while I slip into my bathing suit and go to the beach lol lol lol hey this is southbeach right.....Take care and girl keep in touch with me. Nowlet me go and give SHANNA a big high five for not smoking yeah love you tasha

Your weight is down, you've got a good start on weight loss, so give your body some of that good fruit and whole grains and see if that doesn't help some. Just a suggestion. Glad your husband is on board with you. Lordy Lordy Lordy, what I wouldn't give to get my husband on board. I cringe every night when I see him slather butter on white bread and stuff it in his mouth... not just one slice, but 3 or 4. I can just hear his arteries hardening. *sighs*

Okay you wonderful SB bunnies. I WANT PATS ON THE BACK. I have not smoked for 3 1/2 days now and I NEED/WANT/DEMAND PATS ON THE BACK. hehe...

Shan

It doesn't necessarily make me HUNGRIER. It's more of a hand to mouth habit thing, and something I DO NOT WANT TO DO... replace the smoking with eating. I've been there, done that, gained weight, lost my quit to lose the weight... I OWN THAT T-SHIRT. LOLOL Now I did give myself permission to snack a little more this week while I go through the physical withdrawals of nicotine. I cannot even begin to explain to a non-smoker how hard that is. Having 2 smokers living with me does not help any either. *sighs* I have worked out hard this week to hopefully offset the snacking. Last night, the withdrawals hit me HARD, and I knew is was the last of the nicotine leaving my system and my body crying for it, so I allowed myself to snack. A slice of white bread *gasp* and 2 cookies and an extra cup of 2% milk. Not too too bad, but certainly not something I would have normally done. So I'm trying to watch it. If I gain all my weight back, you guys will see me in the deep deep depths of depression hell! lol

Don't worry it won't happen just offset that snacking with plenty of cardio exercise and you will be fine! So very proud of you and I don;t know how you do it with two smokers my my...they should at least help you out a bit lol anyway gotta run for my hair appointment and then my photo shoot lol lol Brittanyis going to take photos of me so i can update them as promised so excited still tryin to decide if i should post the bathing suit we'll just have to see lol lol lol

First off I want to welcome Angela to the beach!! (((((Angela)))))
I am right here with the beach umbrella and a glass of sugar-free lemonade!!

I am so excited at how the forum has taken off, you guys have put a smile in my heart!

Let's give Tasha, the love and encouragement she deserves!! I agree with the girls Tasha, maybe you should start of Phase II until you get your mojo full force??

And last but not least, BIG KUDOS to our girl Shan who is doing wonderful in her quest to quit smoking!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo proud of you my wonderful friend (((((Shanna)))))

Wow, you girls are so sweet! I feel the love....Thank you!

Shanna, way to go on being smoke free for 3 1/2 days! I know it must be difficult! Hang in there and keep fighting it. Sounds like you are doing well so far! Proud of you! I am gonna me it 1 week on phase 1 and then go to phase 2. I can do it! I have done it so many times b4 and I know I can do it again! Thanks for all your support everyone! Means alot to me.

Ooh, I just noticed that someone changed their profile pic....Angela! I will have to go check it out.

Ok girls, DAY ONE = SUCCESS! Not one cheat for me today. I know, not much of an accomplishment but there hasn't been a day that I didn't at least take a bite or two of something I shouldn't have in a long time.

Going back to the basics and what worked in the past.....2 workouts per day. No worries, the 2nd workout is just a walk away the pounds Dvd. Great workout but not too heavy duty. No eating past 7:30 p.m.
So, I ate 100% on phase 1 and got in 80 mins of cardio and some upper body weights. I feel great right now and I thank you all for helping me and supporting me! You all are great!

How has everyone else's day been?
