South Beach Diet - Week 3
DAY 21
Morning Weigh-in: +1
Breakfast - hummus stuffed celery, V8 juice
Mid-Morning Snack - nut cup
Lunch - Balance protein bar (yogurt honey peanut)
Mid-Afternoon Snack - skip
Supper - Granny Smith apple, cheese stick
Dessert - blueberry popsickle (sugarfree)
I didn't feel like doing much fussing in the kitchen today, I grabbed whatever was fast and easy to satisfy any hunger. I think I actually ate less than other days.
I didn't plan it that way, but I wasn't hungry either.
The Morning After Day 21 - My final weigh in on the morning after Day 21 on Phase II the scales teetered backwards one pound. After all the ups and downs of this week I weigh no more (and no less) than I did at the end of the Phase I. I weigh exactly the same!
Total loss for days 15 through 21 of Phase II - zero pounds.
Total loss for days 1 through 21 of SBD - six pounds.
I never went hungry, and I must admit that some days I ate past my satisfaction level simply because the food was allowed. I've never been a big eater in the first place so eating three meals each day is something new to me. Next week I think I'll try to eat only when I want and not worry so much about squeezing three meals into every day. Naturally, I'll continue to make healthy food choices.

Perks:
- Weight loss: Although I didn't manage to lose any more weight in this third week, I did maintain my original losses from Phase I with more food intake. I'd bet some fat was exchanged for muscle due to me getting back to my exercise routine. I'm still winning in this diet!
- My measurements: I'm even more slim and trim this week. I've lost an additional inch from my waist (total of 3 inches), 1/2 inch from my hips (total of 1 inch), and another 1/2 inch from my thighs (total of 1 inch from each thigh).
Downsides:
- Frustration: I had hoped my goal would be easier to meet. Phase II has slowed down my weightloss from Phase I.
