Good Morning,

I want to apologize if I was rude last night.

Not eating, working like a dog and life have been stressful this last
week and then to have some "sub" instructor come in and accuse us of
erasing her board did not set well with me.

All of you are my inspiration and what keeps me moving forward. I do
look forward to the class each week and am thrilled with the progress
everyone has made. We are a small but mighty group.

Monica: Put the junk down! You have come a long way baby! (shows my
age) If you have the urge or need to eat. Why don't you go to the PFE
section of your book and select from that menu? You can always email
or call me or post when you need to vent.

Oscar: Keep it up, you are amazing.

Amanda: You can eat anything you want.....tomorrow.

Mary: Please let us know how your week goes. I understand how
depleted you feel right now. Hang in there until maintenance.

Peace Out.

As much as I love all you guys, I wasn't sad to leave early last
night! She was a talker!!!

Turns out my trip to Carlsbad was actually really nice. My friend and
her husband are in phase two of South Beach and they're super strict
so we talked about diet and exercise for over an hour! I wound up
having a really nice time and felt really motivated afterward. The 3-
year old kid even liked me so that was a nice change of pace. I had a
decaf coffee while they each had a glass of wine and it was no big
deal.

I just need to vent about how sick I am of Optifast more frequently
than I did in the beginning. I'm annoying myself with all my
complaining! I'm actually on Day 3 of no cheating and I'm trying to
think about it one shake at a time. One of my coworkers uses a vision
board (she's big into The Secret :) and I made a mini-version in my
planner. I have a few cutouts of swimsuits, dresses, vacation spots,
golf outfits, etc... from magazines taped up so I can constantly
remind myself of why I need to stick with this. Probably sounds really
cheesy, but I'll try anything to stay motivated. I also have like 9
boxes of Optifast sitting in the pantry and not using those is like
throwing money out the window. Not gonna happen!

You guys are all doing so great- I love seeing the numbers on the
board every week. Knowing that none of you are cheating makes me feel
bad and that's how it's supposed to work! I have two dinners planned
in Vancouver and I know the restaurants so I'm planning out my menu
now. I'm going to have a salmon salad, dressing on the side of course,
at one place and the grilled chicken and vegetables at the other.
Going in with a game plan should help.

On a completely unrelated note, the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad is
dope! Wow. I want to go on a staycation there.

You guys are so great!!! Despite the odd substitute who apparently
loves her diet and excercise and her 'small person' as she put it...
were a little over the top.

I, too, feel like we should vent more often. I really, really want
to eat. The motivation is becoming harder to find.

Monica--- I got really excited when you spoke of a vision board
because I just started one also... Did we talk about that? lol.
Anyways, way to go with the meals!!! Being prepared is step 1! Also,
great job with not cheating. It's just food and you deserve the best
and are currently giving yourself the best with Optifast :) I really,
really hope you have a strong and great week!

Terri--- You were definitely not yourself last night, but I don't
think anyone took it personal. You are a great motivation and I knew
you didn't think the instructor was great. I hope your week is better
and you don't have to work as many hours :)

Oscar-- Please share any good 'house' news with us. I am so excited
for you and your family!

Mary--- you can eat...........in 3 weeks :)

Hope to hear from you guys soon------- Amanda

Hi everyone!

Hope your week is going well so far... it's almost the weekend!

Terri - hope you are feeling better. No need to apologize! I love how
you tell it like it is.

That sub was a bit talkative. :-)

Monica - glad you had a good time with your friend. There have been a
lot of times I initially didn't feel like going somewhere to hang out
with friends or something, but I forced myself to go and then had a
great time! I need to do that more often... I'm talking about getting
out more with friends. It's good for the soul to be around people who
care about you.

Monica & Amanda - stay motivated! I love the idea of a vision board.
Martha Beck, who writes books and a regular column in O Magazine (I do
love Oprah, as you know!), wrote about vision boards in the March
issue (I think it was March?) - and it was a great article. Very
inspirational. I'm sure it's somewhere on oprah.com if you wanted to
look for it.

Oscar - best wishes to you and your family as you buy a home. That is
awesome! My husband and I had to short sell our house last year, and
frankly, it really pissed me off. :-) However, we moved and are
renting a home we love in an area we love, and I'm happy. Eventually
we will buy another home too, but right now, we are good. I wish you
the best! I love how inspirational you are, and I really appreciate
it.

We are all struggling! I'm on day 2 of no cheating, and I'm okay! ;-)
I am definitely motivated, so that helps. I really appreciate all the
support we give each other.

Hang in there, everyone!

Mary
