Today is going to be tough because it’s Valentines Day. Not because of relationship issues but because of all the goodies I will have to avoid. At the office there will be piles of cookies, cakes and candies. My will power will have to kick in big time. For dinner I am cooking a nice meal for us. I will have one cheat today, wine with dinner. Some of the South Beach Diet purists will be very unhappy with me as I am only 2/3 of the way done with phase one of the diet plan. Lilly plans on having Valentines candy, and a small amount of ice cream.

To put things in perspective, I have lost over 8.5 pounds in nine days. I have lost 1.5 inches off my waist and I am really enjoying the healthy living. I don’t think a glass of wine will kill me. As for the candy and ice cream, that is another story….
