  Night of the Living Dead

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you sit and ponder, it is plain that life is lived in the moment.

  often times, if not always, the most joyous moments are those when we are so present that all thoughts of "me" are gone and there is just this vibrant aliveness, beauty and warmth.

  it's as if we have dissolved into life.

  i have been on the south beach diet for almost 6 weeks, and have lost 11 pounds.

  i gained 2 during the week.................probably water weight, but was a bit discouraged, knowing i hadn't cheated.

  feeling miserable with my cold, dave suggested i not cook friday night and we could just order pizza.

  ... but wouldn't pizza be okay if you didn't eat the crust? Well, maybe a few alterations: lowfat mozzarella cheese, leaner meats, and permissable vegetables?

  P.S. Sorry for the resurrection of your SBD threads, Mulan. Looks like I'm about 7 months late for these SBD discussions! ;-)

  South Beach Diet update again

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have gotten a couple of pm's wanting to know how i am doing on the diet.

  tomorrow starts week 4, and as of today i have lost 8 pounds.

  the last time i tried to lose weight was on weight watchers and it took me about 4 months to lose 8 pounds and then nothing more would come off.

  Hi Mulan,

  I was wondering if you were still following the South Beach Diet and how your progress has been up to this point?

  I'm on day two of the first two weeks, and based on the experiences I've read here, I'm looking forward to my progress. I've been gradually changing my diet over the last year to include more vegetables and less "junk" so now the shift to cutting out sugars and refined flour products is not too difficult for me.

  Would love to hear how you're doing.

  Too cool!

  I'd really love to carve a pumpkin and roast the seeds. And I *so* want to give candy out this year.

  I found some fun coloring pages online too, if you like that kinda thing!

  Everyone,

  Thanks for your replies. Yes, blondie had the correct URL to the site (sorry, Midget-Sasquatch, but thanks for that info!).

  Devon,

  If that's the case, how sad. It sure sends the clear message that being inactive is a shunning offense. Some can't get away quick enough, *so I heard*. :)

  See my life through my eyes

  by ballistic in

  wouldnt it be a strange thing if you could see someone elses life through your own eyes for a couple of hours.

  not just a different life but seeing how other people experience life.

  apparently, we all wire our brains up differently when growing.

  ballistic,

  An amazing thing, indeed. It's easy to forget that everyone's story is unique. This reminds me of the importance of practicing empathy... plus, you can gain so much from the experiences of others without having to spend another lifetime living it yourself.
