This week, we head to the nearby Scarborough Renaissance festival to enjoy the sights, food and entertainment. We take our camera along to show you how we ate safely on the diet, discovered something new and enjoyed some of the variety found at the faire.
We particularly enjoyed the mud pit with the Sturdy Beggars as well as the Burly Minstrel among other attractions.
We give a little demonstration of the various exercises we're doing. We walk or bicycle most of the time, but occasionally we break out the Nintendo Wii for some Rayman Raving Rabbids
This week, Tommy and Harry prepare some South Beach diet safe dishes for a potluck dinner. Harry makes zesty devilled eggs (recipe in separate post), and Tommy makes stuffed celery with lite pimiento cheese or fresh-ground peanut butter.
This week, the Two Fat Bears visit restaurant chain Carino's Italian Grill where they offer one South Beach friendly alternative to pasta-laden dinners. They also feature some products for cooking South Beach appropriate pasta at home along with other helpful tips for Phase 1 and 2 of the plan.
Tommy and Harry discuss their first week on South Beach Diet and it's effects on hunger and cravings. They also continue cleaning out the bad carbs and bad fat from their kitchen. Harry presents a quick tip on multivitamins and then both weigh in with this week's weight loss results.
We head off to a couple of fast food places that make acceptable salads, but somehow we keep ending up with sugar-free chocolate, whether it is cookies, candy or syrup.
Harry finally completes his Master of Education at University of North Texas. Join us for an abbreviated commencement ceremony and see Harry walk across the stage, receiving his degree.
Join us later for a South Beach safe Mexican dinner at Dallas' Uncle Julio's where we tell you what to enjoy and what to avoid.
We've finished Phase 1 of South Beach Diet and are proceeding to Phase 2. In this episode, we conclude our "Clean-Out the Kitchen" series and introduce new segments including our first meal out on Phase 2 and some South Beach-safe products.
We talk a little bit about some of the final preparations for our cruise, which is less than 3 weeks away now. We recommend or rant about some new products before showing off some new artwork we've hung in the living room.
