Yesterday I finally recieved my foodstamps. The hubs and I went grocery shopping and I got all the stuff I need for the southbeach diet. I made up a menu for the first week so I can keep track of what I eat and make sure I eat the right amount. We made fish yesterday… I hate fish, however it was Good Friday and my husband doesn’t eat shrimp so I got the fish. I enjoyed a baked potato too, mainly because as of Monday I can say goodbye to my potatoes. Being it was good friday by midnight I could finally drink coke. I LOVE Coke, specifically fountain cocacola. Southbeach diet doesn’t allow sugar and so no more Cocacola for me (I don’t care what people say, diet sugar free coke isn’t even close to the same). I’m trying to enjoy the next two days drinking it. It’s like a boyfriend who’s moving away in a few days, you wanna be with him as much as you can before he leaves, even if it hurts. I went 40 days without it so I know I can do it, when I was pregnant I went even longer. At about 6 months they heard a heart arythmia. After lots of testing they said it’d be ok but I couldn’t have ANY caffine, not even coco butter on my tummy. I not only LOVE coke but I LOVE coffee, yet I didn’t have not one drop of caffine until he was born (after I gave birth everyone brought me either chocolate, coffee or soda haha). I have the will power when it comes to some things. If it’s for my son, or for God I seem to be able to do it, so why not for me? I am GOING to have will power this time, I am GOING to loose this weight.

Next week I’m joing Lady of America, it’s smaller than some gyms but cheaper, has a daycare and is only women so I don’t feel weird. I tend to feel akward working out around guys. Does anyone who lives in south Florida go to Lady of America? It’d be nice to have a workout buddy. Well if not I always have my trusty ipod. It’ll be nice to escape the crying, cleaning and any of that other fun housewife stuff for an hour or so, I can just escape into my music and allow the endorphins to recharge me for the day, I always seem to be more energetic after working out. Wish me luck everyone, I’ll keep you posted.
