Sleeping is getting much better. I have really increased my water intake all day, but still wake up thirsty. I guess this is normal for phase one of the South beach Diet? If you guys have other experiences, please let us know.

The initial 7 pounds that came off in the first 5 days has slowed down dramatically. I am sure a lot was water weight. On average I think I am loosing about a ¼ pound or less a day. This is versus the 1 or two pound drops I saw at the start.

Again, I understand this to be normal for this diet. So I try not to focus on daily weigh loss and more on how I feel and how my clothes feel on me. The good news is I have lost about an inch off my waist so far so my pants fit a little bit less snug.

Lilly and I are actually eating better tasting meals. We go online and find meals and go shopping and prepare them together and so far we have been surprised how tasty everything is. I think we got our self into a rut of eating the same foods over and over again. So this part of SBD has been a nice awaking for our taste buds. More on team work and SBD later…
