Yesterday was definitely a test for me. I tend to make excuses. So yesterday when it got time to exercise and the clouds had rolled in and the rain started, I wanted to use it as an excuse. I had a couple choices- the treadmill, brave the rain or not exercise. I gotta say, I really don't like the treadmill especially if hubby is home to watch the kids. So, I laced up the kicks and out I went. I got around the corner and the skies opened up. While it wasn't the most pleasant thing, I just kept reminding myself that I wasn't going to melt! (Something my momma used to tell me and something I say to my own kiddos). And I didn't melt, though I think I may have melted some fat ☺
I'm so proud of myself!
Here's what the radar looked like when I got home... My hysband thought I was crazy for taking a picture of the radar btw :) but I had to share.
I also got on the scale this morning (even though it's not my weigh-in day). The results are encouraging. Just got my South Beach book today too. I'm thinking I may give it a shot, I'll let you know after I do some reading. I'd love to hear input from anyone who has used the South Beach Diet...
Happy Wednesday friends! And remember- Eye on the prize baby!

I luv, luv, luv the feeing of encouragement! The feeling is like a drug!
Good luck on the South Beach. For me it was too restrictive. I find that I do "good" on restrictiveness for a couple days...then BINGE! BUT, if I give myself allowances...(which is what I did today) and NOT be afraid when I do give myself those allowances...it works out very well.
I tell you what-I wouldn't change what I'm doing for any other "program". It's perfect for me (and of course the diabetes). For me, it's all about controlling spikes in the blood sugar.
Bottom Line: You are going to do GREAT!
p.s: controlling the blood sugar is what the South Beach is all about. Stick to it long enough and you ARE going to see GREAT results.
You go Tiff!!! Just inspired me to get out tomorrow morn. Out comes my heavy coat and gloves, LOL!! :)
