Week Two 12/21-12/27

Last week was a total bust. I ate like junk and did weigh myself this morning - 137. Not bad, but I did South Beach Phase One yesterday so that would explain it. South Beach has been the only diet I've been able to stick to for any length of time and my body responds really well to it.
