Five pounds in seven days!

So the journey begins! I took some advice from a friend who’s on the South Beach Diet and is doing very well on it. I think she’s lost 22 pounds so far.

How did I do it you ask? I stopped eating crap. I took out a lot of carbohydrate-rich foods. Goodbye pop, salty snacks, pasta and cereal. I now changed to eating loads of chicken, beef, green leafy lettuce and drinking almost a gallon of water a day.

After changing things up the hardest part to keep going is not snacking. But my pants fit better and that’s made it worth it so far. Oh, one thing worth mentioning is that I haven’t exercised one bit. I plan on doing that once I take off 15.

I’ll report on my progress again next week!
