Well I haven't started the South Beach Diet yet. I had fully intended to start it yesterday but we never made it to the grocery store to get all of the foods that I am allowed to eat for the first two weeks. That was entirely my fault too. We went to Sam's on Saturday to get several things but never made it to the commissary because I convinced Shane to take me to Red Lobster. I knew I didn't need to go but I was so tempted because the restaurant is right near Sam's. I guess I got it out of my system now and I no longer have an excuse. I would have gone grocery shopping today but the commissary is closed on Monday's for restocking. I will be going tomorrow though and starting the diet no matter what!! I know it is going to be very hard at first but I am determined that I am going to be successful.
I did do something right today though because I got on the treadmill again tonight even though I was exhausted and didn't really feel like it. I walked at 2 mph for an hour and burnt 189 calories. Shane said I need to start out slowly since my body is still technically recovering from surgery. I guess I am going to walk for an hour every other day for a few more weeks and then begin my planned schedule of walking for an hour Monday, Wednesday and Friday and running for 20 minutes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We are also going to start out slowly with the P90X and the Pilates. We have decided to start P90X next week and to only do the first 30 minutes of each routine. Once we have completed one round of 90 days we will begin again and do the first 45 minutes of each routine. Hopefully by the third round we will be able to complete each routine without too much difficulty. I still haven't figured out how I am going to incorporate the Pilates right now but I think I may wait until we complete the first round of P90X so I am not overdoing it. I know it's not much but at least I have been somewhat consistent with walking on the treadmill so far. I guess I need to start somewhere even if I am starting out really slow. Maybe the slower I polish the more successful I will be at finding that inner diamond :O)
