Today, as we have already mentioned, we started on the South Beach Diet again. We both tried this four years ago and with mixed success. I lost nearly 16 pounds in phase one alone (2 weeks). This time I would be happy to lose 10 pounds.
Needless to say, today was all about food. And, boy did we eat well. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And who says that you can't eat well on a diet? We started the day with a mushroom omelet and followed that up at lunch with a succulent piece of fillet steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions. During the afternoon we had 30 pistachio nuts each before completing our meals with pan fried salmon with oven baked veggies (asparagus, red onion, zucchini, red & green bell peppers). We also found some room for some sugar free jelly (jello) with a small spoonful of mayo. Like I said, not bad for a diet. I'll let you know what we eat during phase one of the diet and see if you can guess how many pounds we lose.
We also popped into town to try and sort out our mortgage. Our current fixed rate mortgage runs out in September and we need to find an alternative one. It's not going to be cheap. At the moment it looks like the interest rate we'll be paying back will jump from 4.99% to 6.75%. Best of all, we'll have to pay £599 for the pleasure.
