It's the end of Phase 1...10.2 lbs lighter.

And so, I'm reading this book called The World is Fat.  It discusses all the trends and the historical reasons why the world is becoming more and more unhealthy.  

It really is a very insightful, it says there that as technology progresses, the health of the people also decrease because of the increased conveniences in food preparation, traveling, errands, etc.  We also become more lazy because the things we do day to day require less work.  

I have lost 10.2 lbs in 13 days.  That's with very minimal exercise but I try to do a lot of walking and home chores.  

I don't know how I'll be able to face my meal planning for Phase 2 of South Beach because I've decided not to order my food for Phase 2 and instead just cook it myself.  

I really hope this increased awareness and interest in being more healthful would be sustainable.  Knowing me, I have my phases in life.  I'd be so obsessive for a certain time but then move on to the next more interesting thing.  

I really hope I'll be able to take up on this lifestyle.  

Low carb... Lean meat... Loads of veggies... Portioning. 

Blablablabla.
