Diet and Exercise Update

I am on day 3 of my South Beach Diet. It is going good so far. I may have cheated just a little on the first day. I may or may not had 3 slices of pizza for dinner. It was Bachelor night and I couldn't resist okay. HAHA. I haven't had a hard time at all though. Its actually been easier than what I thought. I bought the South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cook Book last week and cooked my 2nd recipe out of the book tonight. Both recipes I have cooked have been delish. I will give you a run down of what I have been eating just in case you are interested. I have a protein shake for breakfast and 2 turkey sausage patties. For lunch I either have a salad loaded with veggies and chicken or tuna salad(with mustard instead of mayo). I also eat jello for a little dessert at lunch. Some of my snacks include, celery with laughing cow swiss cheese, string cheese, almonds and turkey jerkey. It is a good thing I love cheese. I don't know if I could survive on this diet if I didn't. For dinner I am cooking recipes out of the SBD cook book. I have been quite impressed with the recipes. Even my hubby likes them, so that is always a plus :) Tonight we had Baked Pesto Chicken and it was so yummy. It is the easiest thing I have ever cooked. I should have taken a picture to show you how yummy it looked. Sorry, I will next time. I am trying to cook my way through this cook book. We will see how it goes.

I thought I would catch ya'll up on how The Shred is going. I am now on Day 12. I haven't done it consistently every single day. I usually take off Saturday and Sunday for rest days. I am now on to Level 2 and it is kicking my booty. Looking back, Level 1 is so easy now. haha. I don't know if I will survive these 10 days on Level 2. I am so sore, my arms, back, legs, and bum all hurt. I can't even imagine what Level 3 is going to be like. I can definitely tell a difference in my arms and legs. They are so much stronger. I am also starting to see more definition in my arms, which I am loving by the way. :) The Shred is definitely hard but Jillian motivates you so much and with it being 20 minutes it goes by super fast. I am still enjoying it and I haven't gotten bored with it. I plan on starting back to boot camp in Feb. I haven't weighed myself yet to see if I have lost any weight. I think I will wait and weigh myself on Sunday to see if there is a difference. Wish me Luck!!

I hope everyone is having a great day. I am sorry I haven't had many pictures lately. Life in our house has been kind of boring. Tomorrow we are going to comedy night with friends and I promise to have pics posted. It should be fun and I am looking forward to it. Hope you all have a good night. :)
