Sloth sadly has yet again gotten the better of me... I've been following the diet fairly well, but I've had some slips. My most notable as of late, the Denny's Meat Lover's breakfast... Soooo terribly delicious. In general though, I'm eating a healthy breakfast, a decent lunch and some good snacks in between. My life saver has been Hummus, Carrots and those individual packets of string cheese. My exercise as of late has been relegated to the bagpipes and the occasional walk. However, tomorrow AM, I'll be starting back on the Wii fit as that seemed to be able to hold my attention the longest. For some reason, I can't seem to get into the P90X and I think it's just a lack of routine. Either way, we progress on. I don't have a weigh in for you yet, but the struggle continues. The good news is, I feel better and I'm looking a bit better. We'll see how it progresses! The more I write in this thing, the guiltier I'll feel so that should help! Last I checked, with diet alone, I'm down around 11 lbs!
Best of luck out there!

Down 11 lbs!
Current Weight: 184lbs.
Admittedly, it's been a long time since I posted. I'm in week 3 of South Beach and it's working marvelously. Regardless of the fact that I've cheated almost every week, I'm starting to make some real progress. I still have yet to start the exercise program. Procrastination again is rearing it's ugly head. I have one obstacle/opportunity right now, I'm currently unemployed. This provides a problem in my diet as I may not be able to afford some of the food, vis a vis the fish element of the south beach diet. However it allows me quite a bit more time to work on the exercise element. I've been pretty good about not cheating AS MUCH these past two weeks, however I've got my top three cheats:
1. Ice Cream - The wife bought it and I've probably had two bowls so far... not bad, but certainly not a habit I want to get back into.
2. McDonald's Shamrock Shake - That's right! It's March! Nothing says Irish Pride like the deliciousness of the minty goodness that is the Shamrock Shake. Generally speaking, its a bad idea all around!
3. Harpoon Island Creek Oyster Stout - Just had it today. I have heard a lot of buzz about this beer and decided to cheat. So good!
Really though, I've been good about my diet generally speaking. The food on the SBD is generally very good! I've moved onto "Stage two" which means basically that they've started to reintroduce carbs into my diet. I've had a few things like cereal and whole wheat bread that are now part of the diet. A lot of people complain about the lack of carbs and frankly, I'm doing OK. There's been no fatigue, no crabiness (that anyone has admitted to), frankly I'm doing well! This week is going to be the week! I'm excited to press forward and get some exercise under my belt. It is my intent not to cheat this week. I've got too much in the way of good food in my house to mess this up! We'll see.
Best of luck to all of you trying to get in shape out there. I'd appreciate hearing your story!
