I have been following Dr. Oz's plan for 4 days and am pleased with both the food and the fact that I am not hungary at all. In fact I have to work at it to eat everything..meaning 3 meals and 2 snacks. I am not sure why this is but I'll take it. I couldn't stand it and had to weigh myself this morning. Imagine my astonishment when the scale stopped at 194.8#. Wait a minute, I weighed 198# on Saturday...two days ago...that is a 3.2# difference. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Updates to follow!!
I got my walk and stretching in today, not at the gym but around the park. That is OK as long as I do it..
Onward and DOWNWARD!!

Dr. Oz and Me
Yesterday I started the diet outlined in Dr. Oz's book: YOU: On A Diet. I wasn't hungary and following these food options is suppose to reduce or eliminate cravings for the bad stuff like fat and sugar....
He says forget the scale and concentrate on the more important number of waist size. I didn't weigh myself yesterday because I forgot before the day was half over but I did remember to take my waist size. It is 40 so that means that the minimum number of inches I need to lose in my waist is 7.5. For women the waist target is 32.5 inches or less. For men it is 35 inches. Yikes!! I did weigh myself this morning and I weigh 198.0# so at least I haven't slipped back into that dreaded twoterville they talk about at Weight Watchers.
For sure everyday with Dr. Oz's plan you have to walk for 30 minutes and stretch for 3 to 5 minutes. That shouldn't be a problem. I hit the gym yesterday and did 32 minutes on the treadmill and also my ab workout.
I felt a cold coming on last night and woke up this morning with a terible sore throat. I think I will hit the gym to do my 30 minutes walk and stretching but that will probably be all. I have three 2 pm starts again this week so getting to the gym will be a challange especially if I have this cold...but I am determined to hang with this faithfully for at least two weeks.

Don't Know!!
The trim to Primm wasn't too bad foodwise....but the drinking was over the top. I had the worst headache I have had in years which I'm sure translated to a depressing step on the scale, so needless to say I haven't stepped on it yet. I actually probably wouldn't be so bad but then yesterday, I really blew it...last night I ate so much junk I hate myself.
Will I never learn???????????? Whose body pays the price for my stupidity????????????? That would be mine and I am sick of myself!!

It's A Test!
Tomorrow and Friday are our days off and we are going to Primm to spend the night and just have a get away.
This will be a test......I will be working to keep on track and not overeat, but I am going to have a few cocktails and enjoy myself. Afterall living life is what it is all about and I really don't feel that I will gorge myself or eat the wrong things. I plan on being in control and I will be taking healthy snacks with me.
I can do this..............
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail..............I am planning!!

I AM SO CONFUSED
OK so I like Oprah.....lately she has had on Dr.Oz touting his and the other guys book "YOU: On a Diet"
Now she has on Bob Greene who is touting his new book "The Best Life Diet".
How does a person evaluate and decide???????? I am very confused.
I have been reading Dr. Oz's book..and I must say not only have I learned a lot, I have changed a couple of things.
1. I am now taking 2 tablets of baby aspirin daily.
2. I am looking for nician
3. I am incorperating 1/2 tsp cinnamon daily.
4. I am not eating 2 hrs b4 bedtime
This is so confusing and time consuming and work intensive.
Questions
Who/what do I go with?
How can I get a difinitive program with?
How? What? Why? When? Where?
I don't know...............I want to succeed.........I will succeed............it is all a lot of work and effort.........!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I almost forgot............when I weighed myself this morning, I weighed 197.4..............that is down from 199.6 yesterday....Go figure.........
Do ya think the "quit eating 2 hours before bedtime" Bob Greene advocates helps???????????????????
I need to keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday Weigh In!!
Today is Tuesday and I weighed myself....another down. This morning I weighed 198.6. Yesterday was such a good day, I was tempted a lot at work and almost went into the EDR for an ice cream cone, but I told myself to wait until my next brake and by then I had a handle on what mattered to me more...ice cream or weighing less. Thank God I was able to control myself. Afterall that is a very important element in waist management.
As I said, onward and downward. Saturday is just around the corner.

Onderland!! Again!!
It is Saturday and I did weigh this morning...199.2. I am pleased to be back in Onderland and this time I intend to stay there!!
I am getting ready now to go to the gym. I really think the interval work out I have been doing on the treadmill has been helping. In fact I was surprised I had a loss since last night I had lobster, scallops, shrimp, and a banana crepe. A day off meal can you tell??
Anyway the next weigh in will be either Tuesday or Wednesday. Onward and DOWNward. I am in control!!

January
I am still doing well and feeling on top of things. I made it to the gym this morning. I really do like going there, but in the future I will go later or earlier....I didn't like the HGTV program that was on at 10.
We are having pizza tonight but I got two extra points through activity. I have only had fruit and grilled chicken today so I can eat the pizza.
Anyway I am hanging and and plan to weight again on Sat. At 196 I will wear my red shirt....at 191, I can go get the shoes I want and wear my skirt to work. I will be wearing that by mid Feb for sure!!!

Down .2
Ok so yesterday I weighed 201 even....that is down .2. I am happy. Any down is good and I like it.
I have had a very good on program day today even though it is a day off. I went to the library today in Laughlin and read a very interesting article in Oprah's January magazine. It was about changing habits and why it is so hard to change. It was really interesting and I am trying to digest this information and make it help me.
I am determined to have 2007 be a good year for me and health. I am trying real hard to eat very healthy food most of the time. I am also trying to work really hard at the gym.
And I am hoping the combination will equal results!!

2007 Is Here!!
A new year, a new start.....and I am up to the challange. My mind is made up and I will succeed.
Saturday I weighed 201.2 pounds and I intend to weight myself on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
This is going to be very, very hard but I need to take control and make the decision to succeed. I am too old to continue carrying around all of this lard. It is not healthy and I am tired of it.
One day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time.
Let't make this work....persistence not perfection.
