Getting ready to start SB for first time...

[AnnieMO]

I am starting SB tomorrow morning! I am actually excited..but also nervous. I am a pharmaceutical rep, and staying on track with the meals won't be the easiest thing since I travel everyday. I cover half the state of Nebraska, so I can't run home everyday. Hopefully I will become organized and plan ahead. Any other drug reps out there who can help -- or anyone with suggestions??:Sad2:

I plan to weigh in every Monday morning. So far, I have read lots of the threads and there is a lot of great information out there. I appreciate it! :Clap:

Hello! :Welcome: Did you know that the SBD has a small book on the market called "The South Beach Diet's Guide to Dining Out"? I'm not sure if I have the title exactly right or not. You can get by without it, but I just thought it might be something to consider buying since you travel a lot.

Do you drive your routes? Can you bring a cooler with you? There are always foods that you can bring with you for snacks and such. Here's a recent thread that might be of help to you. http://sbdbb.com/showthread.php?t=245

I'm so glad to have you joining us on our journey! I hope you keep us informed of your progress and experiences. I think that it can always be of benefit to someone else.

I hope you love it on the beach as much as I do! :wave:

I'll check out that book that you mentioned....

Have a great day!

Hey Annie-:happy:

Welcome to SB I too am a new member, this is day 2 for me. I am a nurse in INDY so I know that it is hard to fit in the meals, and with you traveling I can see it being even more challenging, stick with it though! Day one was rough for me still getting the hang of what I can/can't/ shouldn't eat and portion size, the cravings were bad but I went through the newspaper ads...all had Easter candy for sale so that was what was driving me crazy, but today has been better. Good luck to you!

Everyone here seems very nice and helpful it's one big family

I'm a beginner too, this is my first day though. I really want to stick this one through, I've heard of so many people seeing results within the first week. Good luck to you all!

Hi there! :Welcome:
I totally know what you mean about being nervous! I work full time and have a toddler that is 2. My husband works two jobs currently, so at home it's basically just me!:Clap: Balancing work and home is sometimes impossible! I am definately going to have to get the dining out book myself. I was totally nervous that I may just be too busy.

One thing I have going for me is that I live around the corner from my office. So, I really can't make too many excuses here. Anyway, today is my first day as well and I have to say the info that I have gotten from here today has kept me motivated. But, I ask a lot of questions.

Welcome!
