Yes to Pasta!

I love pasta! But I have been worried about too much carbohydrates. But this news from Yahoo made my day!

Is South Beach Diet Good for Me?

South Beach Diet, or SBD as others call it, has been in the papers as many Filipino socialites and celebrities tried it and really amazed with the results.

So I tried to search for it. Last time I read about it, the dishes in the menu are really Westernized. Though the dishes are American-based, resourceful Filipino chefs made various South Beach recipes that are really Pinoy. There are several catering establishments that are preparing set meals and delivered to the houses of their customers. There are restaurants too serving South Beach Diet dishes.

So now that these establishments are around, dishes are no longer an issue. But now I am bothered with the price. Can I handle it? A meal set meaning per day costs something like over a thousand bucks. And i cannot really afford that. How I wish I can get a copy of the localized South Beach diet and prepare my own set of meals.

If it can be imagined, then it can be done!

Nope not that three two-digit numbers that everybody is waiting for!

I weighed in early this morning. I cannot believe what I saw in the scale. Last week, I weighed in and my scale tipped to 240 lbs. This morning, I weighed in again to check on my progress, I saw 232 lbs. WHOA! That is 8 lbs!

I couldn't believe it so I ask my friend to weigh in and check if our weighing scale is malfunctioning. He said it's just fine. So it means I really lost 8 lbs this week. Is it healthy?

Anyway, the following are the number of steps I made for the dates indicated:
February 2 - 11073 steps

February 1 - 7339 steps
January 31 - 8018 steps
January 30 - 8710 steps
January 29 - 7640 steps
January 28 - 7272 steps
January 27 - 0 (this is a Sunday, and I forgot to bring my Pedo Dido with me)

I am happy! I am happy! I am happy!

I remembered what my professor said today: "If it can be imagined, then it can be done!" She said she read the sentence from a billboard in HongKong a long time ago when she went there as a visiting professor.


So I imagine myself to be fit and healthy. Then it can be done!
