First day on South Beach. The food is tasty and I liked everything except for lentil soup, because, well who likes lentil? The portions are much smaller than what I was used too but I didn't feel cheated because of the variety per meal. I cheated a little with tikoy (not supposed to have any sugar or carbs) but it's Chinese New Year! I was thisclose to binging with Pancit that my whole family pigged out with the whole day. So far, I didn't feel any overwhelming cravings, probably because I ate more often than usual but with smaller portions and healthier choices. Let's see if I can keep up with it for the next 2 weeks.

Highlight of the day: 

Pesto Shrimp is restaurant-quality. I am very tempted to pour the remaining sauce into spaghetti noodles, though.

Exercise:

Today is Physical Therapy day so I got my workout in. Aside from the usual stretching and core strength exercises, I walked 4 rotations with no crutches, 2 rotations with obstacles, 2 rotations of walking on my side and 2 rotations of marching. Not much for other people, but I was exhausted and sweating by the end of the session.
