Pretty good day today. I decided to do South Beach Phase I, to try and get myself off carbs and back on track. I find that when I start slipping, it is ALWAYS because of my carb intake. Don't get me wrong, these are not processed, refined carbs. I love whole wheat, high fiber, multigrain foods, I actually really do. However, it doesn't do me any good if I eat 3/4 of a box of high fiber wheat thins. In one sitting. Sad.
Despite being a little draggy because of the whole no carb thing, had a pretty good cardio workout today. I've been back on the treadmill for almost a week, and the last two days I've been doing a little bit of running, to see how my knee would do. Its definitely healing, but doesn't really hold up well jogging for more than a couple of minutes. I'll keep it up though, until my body tells me to stop. Hopefully by the end of June, I will have progressed enough not to embarrass myself in any way, and hopefully Shelly will wait for me at the finish line to give me a ride home.
By the way, if anyone out there is looking for a low carb sweet treat.... the vanilla ricotta cream recipe in the SB beach does not actually blow. Maybe it was my intense desire for dessert, but I actually kind of enjoyed it.
