So... I really have been eating, though from the lack of activity on this blog, you wouldn't know it!
I lost about 10 pounds on the first 2 weeks of Phase 1 of South Beach Diet. Then, I went on a cruise, put on about 6 pounds, and started Phase 1 again for two more weeks when I got back. Man, was that difficult. It was okay for the first week (or third, really) but then I just got really tired of salad and started missing fruit.
I started Phase 2 on Monday, and so far, so good. I thought I'd be really happy to eat bread, but really, it's not that awesome. Maybe I'm just not eating the right bread. I have some Nature's Promise (Stop and Shop healthy line) multi-grain, and it's okay, but not like "Oh my god, I can't believe I've been missing this!!". What I really miss is the chewy restaurant bread that you dip in olive oil. YUM. But that's usually not whole grain, so it's out for now.
Some initial thoughts about Phase 2: I'm so happy I can eat fruit again and am really happy it's spring and good berries are about to be in season. Strawberries! Blueberries! Also, today I had a granny smith apple with peanut butter. That was delicious. I also really enjoy having cereal for breakfast. I'm trying All Bran. It's alright. Not like, freaking incredible, but alright, with blueberries in it. I don't like the Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Couscous. Grainy, dry, terrible. Not having it.
More updates in a while.

If you want good tasty bread, make it yourself right? I'm surprised you haven't gone in that direction based on your fixation with food. No sarcasm intended here. Just an observation.
I know, you're right. I should make my own bread. I even have a kitchen aid mixer with a dough hook. I just don't have a lot of time. Or maybe I'm lazy? I always think that bread is a lot of work but it probably isn't, it's probably just the rise cycles that make it seem like a lot. But... delicious chewy crusty whole grain bread WOULD be good. I think I'll look for a recipe. :)
