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.
Onward and DOWNward!!
