South Beach Diet – Day 7 (One week)

Yipee! I lost 5 pounds in a span of one week! Not bad, right? I think the South Beach is diet that you can actually maintain. I was fortunate enough to have a cook at home who can just our meals for us.

South Beach Diet: Day 3

It’s a Thursday and there are two reasons to be happy. One is that tomorrow’s a Friday and the other reason is that I have lost 3 pounds already. Weight check: 136.6. But, of course, I need to keep this weight down and continue this diet. It may have just been water weight. We’ll never know until I get to maintain it for at least two weeks.

South Beach Diet: Day 1

People say that I’m not fat. My husband shut me up if I go into a long monologue about how I need to diet and how I don’t feel pretty anymore. I think, women oftentimes go through this phase, and they go through it a lot. We are worried more about getting fat than not finding mr. right. I think I am going through this phase of wanting to look better and wanting to look great.

Cohen’s Lifestyle Center

Oooh, this is such a hit! I have heard a lot of people attest to the effectiveness of this diet. Yes, I know that we often ‘hear of’ results, but this diet is something that I really believe in. Why? I really saw the niece of my godmother lose 150+ pounds. She was actually featured in a magazine recently and attested to the effectiveness of this diet.

Water, water and more water!

Ever since I was a child, I loved drinking water. I remember my mom telling me to drink lots and lots of it every day. I try to drink at least 2 liters of water in the office. That’s the thing with going to work and sitting in front of the computer daily, you tend to forget to drink.

Seattle’s Best Skinny Vanilla

It was a hot day. It was like any other summer day in the Philippines. This was the day that I met my new favorite drink. We were in Megamall Building B. We had a few stuff to buy at the SM Department, and of course after shopping, I wanted to get coffee. We went to Seattle’s Best at the ground floor of SM Megamall, fronting Julia Vargas. I went to the counter and I saw that they were offering a new drink called the Seattle’s Best Skinny Vanilla.

Coffee Bean: On a Diet

They say that if you buy ice blended drinks on a daily basis, you’ll gain a lot of weight. I guess that may be true since a lot of these ice blended drinks have high sugar content. In my case, I’m scared of this possibility. I love going to coffee places during lunch and even after work. I go Coffee Bean or to other cafes during lunch since I just want to relax and chill in a place that’s far (but not too far) from the office. If I’m on a diet though, I go to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. This is what I order.

Special K Bars

I have already lost 5 pounds from the Special K diet that I did over the past weeks. What I do is that I take cereals in the morning and in the evening, but I eat anything during lunch. I haven’t been that strict with this diet, so sometimes, at night, I cheat. Cheat in the sense that I eat what’s on the table, but I still try to eat fish or chicken. When I’m hungry in between meals though, I bought these Special K bars.
