I have been on the South Beach Diet for 10 days (and lost 9 pounds so far YAY!). In phase 1 – first two weeks, you are suppose to eat proteins, nuts, and veggies, including low fat dairy. This has not been an easy task for me. Don’t get me wrong, I like meat, but it seems that everything I can eat is missing it’s important counterpart, the bread, pasta, rice … the carb!
It felt really good to wake up to a spotless clean house!
Yesterday, we had our new cleaning ladies from The Cleaning Authority show up for part one of two major “deep” cleanings of our house. I was very impressed with their work and especially their system for not only doing an entire detail of the house but also their system for keeping that level of maintenance.
S & I decided it was time to get serious about getting back into shape. The gym thing was nice, but we found it was too easy to blow off. We had hoped it would become a habit, but the only habit we made was paying $100 for a membership we didn’t use. We agreed to look at other options. It was important for us to find something we could do together. I suggested taking dance lessons and he suggested playing softball.
I have been trying to get into a upper level Java class for quite some time. I was finally able to get someone to take pity on me and slightly “adjusted” the rules to get me enrolled into the class this semester (thank you Steve!). Apparently this was not the best time for me to add more to my plate, but as difficult as it has been to get into this class, I had to take it when I could get it.
I haven’t felt like posting in quite a while. Not because I couldn’t narrow down something to talk about, but mainly as I have felt completely overwhelmed since Jan 1st. Here is the seems-like-it-grows-bigger-every-day list of things that have taken up permanent residence inside my cluttered head.
