SoWell on SoWal 2008

I've been on South Beach since March 21. By the day I arrived for the soirée, I had lost 10 pounds. I had a weigh-in at home today and have lost five more. I have a weigh-in at my internist in about three weeks. He wants me to come in every four weeks for a weigh-in until I get back to my previous size.

I haven't been commenting on the board lately (too busy to read it all and didn't want to do too many drive-bys), but OL and Tootsie, y'all are inspirational.

Busy day but I planned for it and it worked out well. Took Dylan to The Blind Factory again today. He's grown 4 inches since last fall and the dr said that's why his old glasses weren't doing the trick. His eyes grew too. He sees a pediatric opthmologist and the appointments are 2+ hours long. I packed a meal bar for lunch and protein water. I love the protein water...it really cuts back the cravings and hunger. Dylan even walked with me tonight after dinner. He didn't even break a sweat. punk.

the good news is that my girlfriend Redbird (nickname) lost 4 lbs and I lost 3, over the last week. and we both used the birthday pass yesterday and had some good food and wine, cake, etc.

OL - what is protein water?

Congrats, Toots!

I've already dropped one size in jeans and am on the verge of dropping another.

Philippa and I took a ten mile bike trip today! It's so much easier to walk/cycle when you have company along the way. I'm glad I have a built-in summer exercise buddy.

I think they're new. Special K and South Beach make them in bottle and powder form. I've only seen the Special K in both. I have the powder that you add to a bottle of water. Designed to take the edge off.

WTG! on the loss. I haven't lost anything and I'm not sure why. I haven't been this good in YEARS. I have to think I'm losing it somewhere.

Congrats, Toots!

Awesome...I'm jealous!!!!

It goes so fast doesn't it?!


Today I really pushed my walking routine. I downloaded a new playlist and it was 40+ minutes long. It really motivated me to keep on when I really wanted to quit at 30 minutes. Not sure how far I walked but I'm guessing it was about 2 miles. My thighs were twitching afterwards so walked it off a bit more and they stopped. Is that normal?
