South Beach Diet-week one

So week one is in the bag. We took breakfast and lunch everyday to work and the best part was we did not spend any extra money! In my cafeteria at work you can easily spend $6 or more on lunch so taking the time to pack your food for the day is a sure way to stick to a buget. I was never felt deprived and everything I brought was delicious. Unfortunately drinking only hot tea and water makes you take a lot of bathroom breaks I thought I was going to get in trouble for getting up so much!

I ate 2 egg muffins everyday and drank Dieters Tea every night before bed.

Day 2 it was salads for lunch and dinner.

Day 3 started with a tickle in my throat so I immediately drank an Emergen-C, I cannot afford to get sick this early in the year. I made a huge mistake by brining tuna wraps for lunch. While they were 

delicious it made everything stink! My desk, my lunch bag, my hands all smelled like tuna so I will save those for a weekend lunch from now on. David made homade chili that night and it was wonderful!

Day 4 more egg muffins, I took some to work and they were a hit! Had leftover chili for lunch and had cheese and lunchmeat for a light dinner I wasn't hungry...oh and dehydrated peas are my new favorite snack yummo! I also started waist training this week. I can only stand wearing it for 2 hours at a time but I already needed to tighten it so something is getting smaller! 

Day 5 I ended up eating my Greek Salad for breakfast I was hungry when I got to work and I didn't need to warm it up. Tomatoes, olives and feta cheese drizzled with a vinaigrette dressing and I sprinkled Italian seasoning over it all....so good! For dinner David prepared lean steak sliced into thin peices sautéed with onions and squash. We were even saying we should eat this way all the time! Meal planning at the beginning of the week really helped us stay on track. We have a lot of leftovers do we really don't need to make a grocery run. We might venture out on Sunday to get dog food and some more veggies but other than that we are set!
