i signed a contract today for Oprah's bootcamp. (todd, please put away those pretzels.)

OMG that's cool!!!!

Oprah looks amazing. she has abs. i mean abs on oprah...i never thought i'd see it in my lifetime. if she can do it after all her failed diets-i can do it, too.

oh yeah she looks amazing!!! i'm pretty much on her "routine" w/the exception of exercising 8 times a week and the white stuff. im slowly starting to cut the "whites" out of my food.

i'm doing it cold turkey. i'm a very grumpy person and it's only day 1.

whites? like what exactly?

anything made with white flour basically. i don't use white flour anyway, but it will be good for me to eliminate for a month.

Also certain whites, like potatoes blanched flour, are empty carbs, they have very little, (if any) nutritional value. I use brown rice, whole wheat bread, flour, brown rice or whole wheat pasta......

i get to eat my brown rice pasta and whole grain bread in one month i can't wait.

what do you get to eat now?

lean meat, plenty of greens, cheese, nuts, 2 fruits a day

so you eat this for one month then you move on to the browns??

exactly, but i have no idea about sugar. i should try to eliminate it completely.

i sa oprah show on her diet screts etc and i think she said she doesn't eat anything with sugar in it. she uses splenda.

right. which isn't that big of a deal to switch over to. the stinky thing tho is like condiments and things like that-everything has sugar in it.

oh yeah. i've already lowered my intake of sugar to nothing over 5 grams of sugar in it per serving.....means i had to stay away from ketchup.
