Sometimes, a change in lifestyle feels like a merry-go-round. It's wise at those times to take a step back. As of January 1, 2012, I had lost 37 pounds from my starting point. (Up some from what was then my peak weight loss). January was a pretty good month . . . we had a long weekend mid-month; and that included some culinary misbehavior. But February 1, saw me 7.5 pounds lighter than January 1.
Febraury 1, I stepped onto the merry-go-round. I managed to get down to my intermediate target of 50 pounds lost on Febraury 8, but then a series of full schedules and family celebrations sent me back five pounds up the scale.
I know these things, because I read through my "weight spreadsheet" where we record daily readings from the scale. . . right before I created a new version of it.
The new version is a reminder that as of this morning, we're back to Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. For the next 13 days, the grown-ups in our house will be free of any complex carbohydrates. (We're expecting company on March 10, so carbs will be back on our table for lunch and dinner.)
Hoping for good results again, the last time we were on Phase 1, I shed 12 pounds in 14 days.
I'll keep you posted.
