Day Three: Things are actually (!) going good.

Soo today is the third day of our south beach diet. It's actually going really well so far. I know, I know it's only been 3 days but with other diets that I have done in the past ( and trust me I've been through a good share) I would have given up already. But with this one I'm actually really motivated. I've been feeling really good, like energetic which is a big plus considering my hectic schedule of work and school. And I've been to the gym on both days. I don't think I'm going today, I've read somewhere that your body needs rest and that it's good to take a day off from working out. I did the elliptical for 25 minutes on monday and let me tell you, my body is not used to it at ALL. But I got through it. I went on the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday which wasn't so bad but I was still sweating. like alot, but I loved it. lol. After working out, my roommate and I went to the locker room to get our stuff and when we looked in the mirror we were sososososo red. She calls it the white girl disease lol. She and I both have really pale complexions. I guess that's what happens when you have the skin color of a vampire (me) hah. As for eating, I've also been doing really good. No carbs, no sugar, no fruit but I can live without those. My main weakness is junk food, so I've been craving that a little bit. Chips and dip were my savior during late night study sessions. But I haven't had any!  Yay to willpower. I will update with current weight and my short term and long term goals over the weekend. Ahh I really think I will make it happen this time!
