Imprecise South Beach Diet Update
Well, after one week of the South Beach diet, my weight has moved from somewhere around 194-197 lbs down to somewhere around 187-191 lbs. So, I've probably lost about 6 lbs.
Now, when I say that I've been on the South Beach diet for a week, that's a bit of a stretch. Saturday was an officially sanctioned cheat day because we had to go to Kristen's work party at the Ciccaro Club and there's no way in hell I'm going to pass up a free Italian feast ... and drinks ... and deserts ... and coffees. We also ate the appropriately-named 'Perfect Lunch' at Mykonos (a greek restaurant in Windsor), which is a chicken kabob with rice and Greek salad. Perfect.
Since this weekend silliness doesn't seem to have slowed the weight loss, I'm creating the new Jay Morris Diet (patent pending), which can be concisely described by the following rules:
Do Phase 1 of the South Beach during the week.
Be reasonable on the weekend.
Or don't.
Also, a little bit of dark chocolate every day is good.
This may soon be ammended to include one packet of natural cane sugar per day in my coffee.
I'll keep you (who reads this thing?) posted next week!

Hey Jay. Regarding dark chocolate, check out the recommendations at www.seventypercent.com. The Cluizel (#4 on their list) is fantastic. A bit cheaper, and easier to find, is Ghirardelli's new 72% bar. I'm not quite as fond of the Lindt 85% bar as they are, but it's available in some average grocery stores.
Best of luck with the diet! :)
Oops! Mykonos is a restaurant in Champaign. We were at Thanasis. I was watching a travel show about Greek Islands today while I was getting ready for work, so that's probably part of it. :)
