Eliminating Carbs & Sugar - Day 3

I've been on the Phase 1 of the South Beach for 2 whole days (going on 3 days today).
[woot-woot]

I must say, so far so good.
This time around isn't too bad - def not as bad as the first time I did this phase.

Remember, the purpose for myself is to try and eliminate/detox from carbs and white sugar.  I want to try and blog what I eat as a way of holding me accountable.


Here's what I've had to eat each day so far:

Monday:
Breakfast
2 hard boiled eggs
16 oz non-fat, sugar-free vanilla latte

Lunch
6 slices of thinly sliced roast beef
1/4 pickle spear (dill)
1 Tbs cream cheese
Colby jack cheese square (I have a huge cheese fetish)

Snack
2 sugar-free butterscotch discs
1 mozzarella string cheese

Dinner
Rotisserie Chicken from Costco (slices picked off the breast)
Steamed broccoli
6 oz Diet Coke

Snack
Spoonful of crunchy peanut butter
1 sugar-free fudgsicle.

Water consumed
62 ounces (with lemon wedges)

Tuesday:
Breakfast
2 hard boiled eggs
2 slices of Canadian bacon
16 oz non-fat, sugar-free vanilla latte

Lunch
Spinach lettuce mix
Ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning (low sodium)
Mexican cheese
Sliced olives
Black beans
1/2 sliced avocado
6 oz Diet Coke

Snack
1 mozzarella string cheese
16 oz non-fat, sugar-free almond latte
[I had to...today was an extra needed latte day...and it was $2 Tuesday]

Dinner
Baked chicken tenderloins (3)
Steamed green beans
Zucchini cheese balls (a new recipe in the house- pretty tasty for zucchini)

Snack
Spoonful of crunchy peanut butter

Water consumed
46 ounces (with lemon wedges)

I will confess...I did have a little oopsie Monday.  My little one was given a Tootsie roll (the smallest rolls on the market...smaller than the midgees) on our way out of the doctors office at her check up appointment.  I don't let her have the whole thing yet as she's too little, so I took a bite off of it and gave her 1/2. It wasn't until I was halfway home what i had realized I had done.

Oops. Doesn't hurt once in awhile.

Whew, there you have it.  A look at my phase 1 of the South Beach so far.

I wish I was more adventurous with food because I get bored eating the same things, but it's only 2 weeks until I move on to either Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet or the 21 Day Fix...I haven't decided that one yet.

I did weigh myself yesterday morning before eating breakfast.
171 lbs.
[The heaviest I've ever been - *gulp*]
This has been hard for me to accept the last few years, but it's time I change that.

Things are a little easier when you have the mind set that you want to make a healthy lifestyle change.

Has any one tried Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet?  What have been your experiences? What have been some of your favorite go-to foods/meals?

*I am not a dietician or a doctor.  T am simply going off of what has worked for myself in the past and my own research I've completed online.
