Day four - no carbs

I am not entirely sure how true that statement is.  I know I had little to no carbs over the weekend.  Monday I did.  Well, we went to Brixx.  How can you avoid carbs in that place.  The saving grace was my salad was overlly drenched in dressing and the pizza was bland and dry... so that somewhat takes away from teh cravings of wanting to go back.  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - I have done a pretty good job of no carbs.  I did have a salad at Panerra the other day that had some fruit on it - so that is a little off.  But I consider it just a little.  I am just trying to purge myself of the overall malaise of holiday eating from my system...   When you think about all the sugar and processed flour in all those cookies no wonder you get all run down, tired, craving more processed foods... 
So the South Beach diet says to do 2 weeks of this.  Today I am all Yeah, no problem.  I can do this.  It may falter though I am sure.
Oh, the other non-carb aspect - I am not sure where skim milk falls in there.  As we know it does have some sugar content.  We'll see how it goes.
I was reading this thing on line last night - it said that in the first 2 weeks you will lose 8 to 13 pounds?!?!  I think I must have read that wrong. THAT would be so incredibly unhealthy.  And to top it off I am not seeing pounds drop like that at all.
But I will keep plodding along.  I need some guidelines to get back into my quasi-race form...
