Bad blogger, worse dieter

Well, my two-week entry to the "South Beach Diet" was minimally successful, even if my promise to consistently blog about it wasn't.

By the end of the two-week period, I had lost about 8 pounds. That was about half of my intended goal, but that's okay. I definitely found that my cravings for bread and other carbs diminished, with the exception of pasta. One recent evening I boiled up a pot of rotini with some salt and olive oil and after Sammy had her share, I found myself hovering over the colander stuffing handfuls of pasta into my mouth.

Still, I can see a path forward for continued weight loss and improved diet. No more snack foods. Only the rare soda. Ice cream just once a week or so. More salad.

It's nothing revolutionary, but it does require commitment. We'll see how it goes.
