Weight: 171.0
Total lost: 5.5lbs

24 oz crystal light

Exercise: 30 minutes interval training on the elliptical (2 min @ 60 / 3 min @ 40-45 w/5 minute warm up)
*24 oz water
Notes: Woo hoo! down another .5 for a total weight loss of 5.5lbs! In phase 1 they say you can lose between 8-13lbs but I have found in my experience that I usually lose about 6.5 - 7lbs so I'm on the right track! I plan to add in exercise this week so hopefully that will help me with my weight loss as well. I'm feeling amazing too - even without workouts my energy level has increased! I love South Beach! *workout was so hard! I'm so out of shape! but afterwards it felt so good! and I'm so proud of myself for doing it - I thought I'd put it off until 'tomorrow' yet again but I'm really happy I didn't put it off. Makes me more motivated to work out again tomorrow. (and with an elliptical in my living room I really don't have any excuses!) we will see!
* DAY 9 *
Monday, November 9, 2009
Breakfast: Turkey & Cheese omelet w/tsp salsa
3 turkey sausage links
1 cup tea with skim milk and cinnamon
1/2 cup coffee with creamer
Snack: 15 nuts
44 oz water
Lunch: Taco salad with ranch dressing (last of the left overs)
Sobe lean juice
2 bites pot roast
Snack: caprese bites with 7 tomatoes
1 cup coffee with creamer
20oz water with benefiber
Dinner: 1 serving of lentil soup
Dessert: 1 tbsp peanut butter
1 diet hot chocolate with a tsp fat free cool whip
Exercise: 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 crunches
Notes: Feeling really good today! waited too long to eat dinner though so I was starved by the time I got home! but otherwise OK. I've had lots of energy too and feel much less irritable. *I got really sleepy and wasn't going to work out - my boyfriend encourage me to do something - 10 min even because I'd feel better. He did his workout first then i hoped on and aimed for 15 min. When i got there i figured I could do more so I aimed for 20 - then pushed for 25 - then figured well it would seem silly not to finish the full 30! so I did and it felt great! aside from sweating like a pig and being beat red from being hot and out of breath and out of shape lol.
........Baby steps!
