Gracie's Going to Get Healthy! #2 - Page 9

obraxton · 06-14-2011, 11:45 AM

I agree with Meek, you will do great!

Gracie514 · 06-14-2011, 12:11 PM

Thanks chickies! I got some supplies so I don't have an excuse to screw up

I just ate some fresh blueberries

I also had a bottle of water w/ Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs) because I read it helps with acid reflux and PMS. TOM is due on Sunday

so that may be why I'm so cranky and moody. I'm hoping by adding in ACV each day it well help. I feel much happier in my decision to go with the Omaha program.

obraxton · 06-14-2011, 07:53 PM

Totally excited to see how you do. Awesome I'm sure. I honestly can't wait until I can do a full round either way and see what it would do with reshaping. My gf did it after bypass and her waist is so thin now
Blueberries, strawberries, berries just put me in a happy summer mood!

Thanks for the info about the Braggs. I have some and I could use it right now!

Meek75 · 06-15-2011, 07:02 AM

Hi Gracie. How is it going today?

Gracie514 · 06-15-2011, 07:08 AM

Good morning ladies! Thanks Dessa - I think this program will be better suited for me this summer. The scale went down 3.4#

I am almost back to where I was last Friday

The Omaha plan seems like freedom compared to Simeons P2! The weight loss states about 15-20 pounds in a month which is great. I feel more at peace with my food choices and I feel it's healthier for me. I was feeling like CRAP on P2 - foggy brain, exhausted, and miserable. I feel like I can stick with the Omaha Plan. You are even allowed 1 light beer per day. If you pick Bud Select 55 you can have 2 !!!

I'm always looking for the loophole

Anyhoo, here was yesterday's menu for accountability:

B: coffee
Snack: 1 cucumber dipped in Walden Farms dressing
L: chicken breast sauteed w/red onions
Snack: blueberries
Snack before dinner: orange
D: Big Tossed salad - lettuce, red onions, red pepper, mushrooms w/ taco seasoned ground beef and salsa
Snack: 100 calorie popcorn bag

I drank a lot of water, zero calorie flavored water, and 1 coffee.

It was funny, I made my popcorn around 8 pm as a snack while watching TV. All 3 of my kids kept taking it

They are lucky I didn't bite off their fingers

obraxton · 06-15-2011, 07:54 AM

I love the chicken with sauteed red onions idea. I love to sautee pickled ones. Yum. Congrats on your loss!!!!

Meek75 · 06-15-2011, 07:57 AM

-awesome, awesome, awesome release!! You are going to RAWK the OWL protocol. Don't you love being able to have a bag of popcorn?!

. Your menu looks good too! Seems like you ate a lot and had a huge release. Good job!!

shari · 06-16-2011, 03:57 AM

WOW, congrats Gracie!!

I don't know much about the plan but I'm happy that you found something that works for you! Nice that you can have a light beer...seems perfectly fitting for the summer and weekends.

Tylar_Connar · 06-16-2011, 05:47 AM

What is the Omaha WL?

Gracie514 · 06-16-2011, 06:09 AM

Hey ladies - Happy Thursday! Scale was down -2.2# this morning - woot woot!!! And TOM is due in 3 days so at least I'm not gaining!!! Today I will follow the Omaha plan again and pray it keeps working

Yesterday's Menu:
B: coffee
Snack: orange
L: chicken sauteed in spices with large tossed salad - lettuce, red onions, mushrooms, red peppers. Dressing: mixed WF Honey Mustard w/hot sauce
Snack: blueberries
D: ground beef w/boiled cabbage leaves & diced tomatoes
Snack: 100 calorie popcorn bag

Lots of water and flavored zero calorie water - they sell it at Aldi's for $6.99/case and it's yummy!!!

It's an hcg plan that allows more calories and variety of fruits/veggies. You can also mix veggies. The calories are around 600-700. Oh, you can also have the 100 calorie popcorn bags instead of melba or grissini. I did read about a woman who used 2 slices of wheat bread (40 calories for both slices) and it also worked. I just needed more variety and food. I feel much better!

Meek75 · 06-16-2011, 06:16 AM

-Gracie, you are doing a fantastic job on OWL!

You're welcome. Those weekends are behind you...now keep pushing forward. You have time to recover; especially the "weigh" you are releasing those pounds!!!!

Just finished up lunch - weirdest thing happened! I made a nice tossed salad with multiple veggies and sauteed chicken with WF dressing/hot sauce. I got about 3/4 of the way through and was totally STUFFED. I couldn't finish it

I dropped my pellets down to 3/dose instead of 4, maybe that's my sweet spot. I'm NEVER full from salad

lorettahd · 06-17-2011, 04:29 AM

Morning Gracie, you are doing a great job. I am so happy that you are finding comfort in what you are doing. KUTGW! Hope today is a good day for yah! Happy Friday!

Tylar_Connar · 06-17-2011, 06:41 AM

Oh, you ordered pellets too...did you order them from netrition. That is what I was planning on doing last week...but havent done it yet. Do you like them better than the drops. I am so excited to get some because I think it will be easier. I just hate the taste the taste of the drops!!

Gracie514 · 06-17-2011, 06:49 AM

Good morning ladies! Happy Friday

Okay, so I weighed this morning and I am down 2.4 lbs

I was shocked. I followed the Omaha plan 100% and I really think my body is very happy with me adding the extra calories. I have now lost -10.8# for this round. I'm praying I can stick with it over the weekend at camp. We have friends joining us but luckily she doesn't really drink alcohol. We can just hang out and shoot the breeze

I had my family over last night for cake to celebrate Ricky's birthday (I know, it was like 10 days ago

) and I didn't eat off plan. I didn't even have ONE beer! I made myself a 100 calorie pack of popcorn and nibbled on that.

Yesterday's Menu
B: coffee
Snack: orange
L: tossed salad: lettuce, red peps,mushrooms,red onions w/sauteed chicken in WF dressing/hot sauce
Snack: 6 strawberries
D: ground beef patty w/onions & mustard, tossed salad (same as above)
Snack: 100 calorie popcorn

I bought the Spritzers salad dressing and I used about 13 sprays on my dinner salad. It was Italian and it was 13 calories and very tasty.

Everyone have a FABULOUS Friday!

obraxton · 06-17-2011, 07:13 AM

Wow indeed Gracie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems like your body is welcoming a change awesomely. Don't let up this week! Tell yourself they'll be other weekends to indulge, first things first, which is goal!!!! Yay Gracie! I'm going to have to bookmark OWL for future reference!

lorettahd · 06-17-2011, 07:31 AM
