Since I know you’ve been on pins and needles waiting for a report on how my diet is going, I’m here to tell you it’s going great. I love this new way of eating, and haven’t really felt deprived at all. I’m shocked at how little I’ve missed my wine, to be honest. And here I thought I was an incorrigible wino.
I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost so far, but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s between 8-10 lbs. In two weeks. Yeah, I’m staying with this thing for awhile. I tried on a black dress I haven’t been able to wear for about a year yesterday…and I’ll be wearing it on Saturday at a friend’s bachelorette party. If I get any pictures that meet the rigorous Heather Photo Standards For Public Viewing, I’ll post them here so you can see how I’m doing.
I’ve decided to have a couple of glasses of wine with the girls at the party because how can I not? But then it’s right back on Phase 1, and I’ll stay there for a couple more weeks. I feel so much better.
Oh…and my tattoo is finally finished. Cross your fingers for me that it heals properly this time (I have some leg circulation issues that have hampered this in the past) and I’ll write up a big old report with photos.
Have a great weekend!
Great job Heather!! I’ve been sort of a food ‘whore’ since I got back from my last trip. Eating a bunch of things that I haven’t since last September! You are inspiring me to start South Beach again!
And yes..yes! Please post sexy Heather in a black dress pics!
Also, here is a tip….cut the calories and sugar and drink wine spritzers that night.
Have fun!

I think you are just wonderful. Kathy thinks that also (she told me so).
I am down 19, got about 25 to go.
And I don’t even look fat *laugh*
