Not too shabby!
My BF Angie started this diet on January 1. Everyday I asked her about her loss, how her body was feeling, and what she planned on eating. It helps me to know what is normal and what isn't.
I miss working out so much that this morning I took a walk. I find myself constantly searching for good recipes to try. Tonight Onion Soup and lunch tomorrow spicy salsa.

Small loss today but some people plateau or stall. I had to take Ang to the emergency room today. My food and drops got a bit out of whack but I should be fine.

Round1 Phase2 Days 0 & 1
2/6/12 Round1 Phase2 Day0
Day 2 of loading was torture. I'm super excited to be eating lean protein and salad today. I slept awful...too much food yesterday. Got on the scale before bed 249.2 I went pee during the night and when I woke up I weighed 241.2! Where did the 8 pounds go? I normally weigh about 235. I wish I would have weighed myself before loading. Starting weight will be 241.2
I threw away extra fun food from the weekend and measured myself this morning...Here is to losing weight! Stoked to fit into some old clothes.
2/7/12 Round1 Phase2 Day1

I've has coffee with tsp. of dairy. Salad with shrimp for lunch. Ready for beef tonight. I'm keeping positive and still haven't had any hunger issues.

OMNI Drops Diet Journal Loading Phase 1
2/4/12 Day 1 Loading
We woke up to a sunshiney day so instead of heading to the Cheesecake Factory in Seattle we decided to head to the ocean. I plan on writing down everything we eat during the loading phase. I bet the list will look crazy.
1 piece of wheat bread with artichoke dip
20 oz. 4 shot blended mocha
Jack in the Box Extreme Sausage sandwich
3 potato things
1 raspberry cream horn
1 strawberry danish
1 Big Mac
1 regular fry
4 chicken nuggets
1 divinity cookie
1 Vitamin water
1/2 a package of beef jerkey
3 pieces of pizza
1 glass of milk
1 package of Raisenettes
4 cheese curds
1 gallon of water
We both felt full all day. At times we felt oddly hungry but after a bite or two felt stuffed again. Tomorrow will be harder.
2/5/12 Day 2 Loading
Woke up still feeling full. By the time I cooked breakfast my stomach was grumbling a bit.
Today's list:
Fried Potatoes
1 Cheese Jalapeno roll with cream cheese
1 Chicken Gordita Supreme
20 oz. 4 shot blended mocha
1 Whopper
10 cookies
A handful of celery
1 glass of milk
12 shrimp
2 pieces of garlic bread with artichoke dip
It weird to have to eat so much when the goal is to lose weight but you have to load good to lose good.

Are we really in competition?
I often find myself wondering why some feel the need to make everything a competition. I feel no need to keep up with the Jones'. I love my husband, our home, and my job. I have a wonderful family that can be a bit crazy at times, but whose isn't? I love the people I call my true friends. And above all else I love God and Jesus Christ.
People want to talk about other people. It's just how it is. When I talk about what may be going on in someone's life it's out of curiosity. But there is a fine line between curiosity and gossip. We should never pretend to understand the issues someone else is dealing with. If I'm willing to say something about someone without them being present know that I'm willing to say it to their face. It's a respect we all deserve and something people should try to do more of. A little honesty never hurt anyone.
No one has the right to judge another's life and how they live it. Judgement should be left to someone who is infinitely more qualified. God. He alone has the right to judge how I live my life. He can judge how I do or don't spend my time. Because I know that when good things happen to me, all glory goes to him.
I may not go to church every weekend but that doesn't mean I don't have a personal relationship with God. I try to live by the values that he sets for us in his word. Remember, he said, 'Where two or more are gathered in my name there will I(God) be also.' Mark18:20 My goals in life are to bring joy to those around me, help those who are in need, and to let others know that I believe if we give control to God he is the only one who can steer us in the right direction.
So please forgive me if I don't understand people who sit in judgement on others. People who walk through life casting stones when they themselves live in a glass house. I know that I am not prefect. I've yet to meet anyone who is. I think that everyone would benefit from taking a good look at themselves in the mirror before judging the life of someone else.
A bit of a ramble but it's what I have running through my head today.

Our reasons for visiting Vegas again!
Dave Matthews Band
and opening for them.......Jason Mraz!!!!
After the first time Ryan and I visited Vegas I said I would never go there again. To me it's not a very pretty place on the inside or the out. The only time I looked at the city and thought "Wow. This is really beautiful." was from our room at night. But it's like looking at someone with beer tinted goggles...when the sun comes up in the morning they don't look so pretty anymore.
When DMB announced that they would be playing Vegas this year I thought been there, done that. Then they anounced that Jason would be opening for them. I was sold. I can't imagine a better live show then DMB and Mraz.
The only sad thing about the trip will be listening to the music and knowing I will never get to hear LeRoi Moore live again. I love being surrounded by people who love the music as much as I do. We will all be feeling the loss but pushing through it together.
RIP Groogrux King!
