after one week on the south beach diet, i'm starting to feel really good. and i mean, lighter, more energetic. i'm not as hungry as on the first two days, and i've slowly gotten rid of my cravings for sweets and starchy food.
yesterday i made pancakes for my boys, and i didn't once stare at them with longing. hahahaha! i must be improving! i had my eggs florentine and i was happy with my breakfast.
i've also been very active, and i've tried to get my whole family to join me. my husband is very supportive. he hates walking anywhere, but for me, he'll walk all the way to the mall just so i can have my exercise. (it's a good 20-minute walk)
yesterday, instead of lazing around the house, we went to the park and rode bikes! that was fun! there's a park right across our apartment complex that sits right on the beach. there are bikes and skates for rent. i got a bike with a toddler seat at the back so vito can ride with me. it was fun! oh of course i had to practice a bit as i hadn't ridden a bike in like 20 years, but after that it was smooth sailing.
ahhh, the wind on my face! the joy of going through avenues of trees and hearing the waves from the sea! i want it to be a regular thing from now on.
feeling good
