South Beach Phase 1 day 8
Hi
Day 8.
Considering all the restrictions during phase one, i have been ok.
Some of the things that help
1. Rachel Rays five spice seasoned nut recipe. good with almonds, not good with pistachios.
2. crytal light sunrise: grapefruit and orange. The flavor is strong and realistic. No sugar, no carbs. the orange tastes like tang. The key to mixing it up. get 3 empty 24 oz sports bottles poland spring or deer park. pour 16 oz into each bottle.
in mixing bowl mix one whole packet of flavor powder with 24 oz of water. then pour 8 oz of concentrated mix/water into the remainder space on each bottle.
3. Don Pablos: on mon-thu theyhave all you can eat fajitas. drop the tortillas sour cream. and you have pretty good all you can eat steak. for 11.99
4. Wawa chicken breast sandwich. I order 2 sandwiches, and combine the breast, lettuce, tomate with texas pete hot sauce. and i also get a 2 pack of hard boiled eggs.
5. omlettes with cold cuts. scramble 1 egg. in another pan fry cold cuts.
fry egg, flip, drop on cold cuts, add slice of cheese. the egg is thin, but now you can make 2 omlettes. 2 seems more filling than one 2 egg omlette.
i think i lost about 4-5 lbs on the diet so far, but i dont see much reduction physically.
6 more days of this, then onto phase 2.

9 Month update
Hello friend(s)
(haha i wonder how many people still read this)
Eleanor went in for her nine month checkup.
Current Stats: 16 lbs = 10&tile. She is a little light
Height: 27 inches = 25th %tile
The doctor said don't worry so much. Be we could feed the baby fattier stuff.
It not easy for me and sora, since we are on south beach, but still we have to fatten eleanor up a little bit.
If she gets any fatter cheeks her eyes might close up.
The doctor told us about foods we could try
what to avoid.
Eleanor is doing great. She cannot walk yet, but i think within the next 2 months she will be walking.
Eleanor can imitate things now. If i shake my head, she will shake hers.
If i clap my hands she will comply
But usually only if she is in the mood.
I think its more fun for us now. Since eleanor is more interactive.
Its not like we can play battleship or playstation2, but its more fun.
She is overall a joy to be with.

Saturday Update
Hi,
so i have been dealing with flu symptoms all week. I am feeling a little better now.
It was a busy week.
I didnt have much luck down in AC for my birthday celebrations. But i had good time overall.
The best luck was in Let it Ride bonus.
Bowling update. I kind of sprained my right ring finger. You would think its not that important, but actually, i need it badly. I hope it will heal up before next week.
Right now, i think we are out of the running to be in 1st place.
Oh well.
I think I am going to have to practice more.
Real Estate: One of my transactions received the mortgage committment on friday. Barring any weird circumstances, we should go to settlement on May 15th.
One of my other transaction is also on the verge of getting the mortgage committment also. So we will be in really good shape then.
Getting a deal to settlement is slow and has so many variables.
Eleanor is getting a little picky with the food. I told sora to starve her, until she is hungry, then she'll eat anything. But modern parenting books dont seem to espouse the same theory. She gets enough calories from other things like formula etc. SO unless she starts to have diminished energy and vigor, dont worry about it.
She does like cheese. Cheapo sliced cheese. haha
I started south beach this week. I think I am on day 4.
Its not easy, but i have gotten creative.
GOod thing i already liked hummus before.
Salmon
tilapia.
And crystal light is not so bad!
hehe

32nd Birthday Post
Hi
I am officially 32 years old. Actually at 5:02 PM i will be 32 years old.
Funny coincidence: My daughter Eleanor was born on July 10th, 2006 t 5:02 pm also.
Anyhow it has been a cool year.
Lots of ups and downs. But I think the key is perspective.
1. Wife had a baby
2. I got my real estate license
3. Have yet to go to settlement on a house, but soon!
4. Improved my relationship with my wife. Ask her how much improvement but there was some.
5. Improved in bowling now a 186 average.
Overall, there were a lot more pros than cons. but we had some tough spots.
1. My was diagnosed with cancer. Still battling thru things.
2. Warehouse truck was stolen, (then recovered later in the summer)
3. decided to make a change in career.
Today, i am pretty sick. It was the phillies gae last week. It was actually snowing a little bit. Starting from good friday last week, i wasnt feeling too hot. I tried to sleep things off and stuff, but i am still pretty flu-like.
I got flu shots too. Seems like whenever i get flu shots, i get sick.
But this year, i think i subjected my body to stress it couldnt handle.
Age 32 isnt a huge deal. 2 years past the 30 mark. Nothing different.
but i look forward to good things before i turn 33.
