Is Phase 1 over yet?
I sort of slid of Phase 1 of South Beach yesterday and I've pretty much decided to just stick with Phase 2 from here on out. I'm planning on trying to stick with Phase 2 now until I meet with my bariatric surgeon again in May. I was so anxious about starting my new job yesterday, that I didn't plan...

Ruby Tuesday's is my favorite South Beach friendly restaurant now!!!!!
OH my god. I went out to lunch this afternoon with my friend Beth and she wanted to go to Ruby Tuesday's. I agreed, thinking to myself, I can always just get a salad or the salad bar or something.... I pretty much figured anything South Beach friendly would never be on that menu. Boy was I wrong!!!...

This South Beach diet is HARDER than I thought.
I am such a sweets and treats person, now that I'm halfway through the first week of phase 1...I am ready to kill somebody. I would gladly trade my soul for some chocolate right now. That's bad isn't it!? LOL Anyway, breakfast is the worst...I'm so bored with eggs that I almost don't want to even...

Broiled Haddock Fillet with Broccoli and a Side Salad
I surprised myself tonight with my culinary skills. I have never cooked fish before, and I don't count frozen fish sticks in that category either. LOL. Anyway, I picked up a large fillet of haddock at the butcher's and some broccoli and salad fixings at the grocery store. I put a little bit of extra...

I bought a grill pan - time to grill some salmon!
Since I don't have a real grill and the George Forman just doesn't cook food very well - I've decided to buy a range top grill pan. I hope it works out, I've seen a couple of my favorite cooks use them on the Food Network. I'm planning to use it tonight! I got a beautiful piece of salmon and I want...

South Beach Breakfast Ideas??? HELP!!
I'm doing ok with this South Beach thing...but the hardest part for me is breakfast. Eggs are fine, I love eggs...but I can see myself getting bored with them REAL QUICK. Plus, I don't know what else to eat with them. Since I'm on phase 1, it's pretty strict. I don't particularly want to make bacon...

Multi-vitamins and minerals....What do you take?
I've been advised by my doctor to take a Multi-vitamin/mineral that contains iron and folic acid...plus a Calcium with Vitamin D supplement. She seemed to think that it's a supplement everybody should be taking regardless of their diets. Because most people don't get enough in their food. However,...

South Beach for Life....
Well, I'm getting ready to go grocery shopping with the list of phase 1 foods from my doctor. I'm only starting to realize the real "permanence" of this diet. In fact, I am trying real hard not to even call it a diet anymore...because after I have gastric bypass, it's really how I'll have to live...

Mac & Cheese... It's the Cheapest!
Last night I had a craving for mac and cheese. I don't really know why because I rarely eat the stuff (haven't in probably a year) and it's not even something I would normally consider a meal. Maybe I would make it as a side dish for bar-b-que or something. Anyway, I went to "Tops" (the crappy...

Mmmm..... chocolate.....
Tonight, I could not deny my craving for chocolate. Without being too informative, it is that 'time of the month' for me and I immediately sent Corey to the store to pick up food for dinner and a sweet treat for me. He was so cute and brought me back a package of Reese's peanut butter cups. Mmmm.......
