Dr. Oz's anti-cancer shopping list

I tape (is it still called taping since I use the dvr?) Dr. Oz every day. And if you know me, you know that I'm a bit of a hypocondriac. Anyway, the other day Dr. Oz talked about food that can help prevent cancer, which is one of my biggest fears. You can find the shopping list here. I'm really going to make it a point to eat more of these foods. Will you join me?

Good Week

At my Weight Watchers meeting on Wednesday, I had lost 2 pounds. Which brings my total to 11.2 pounds in 7 weeks. And that means that I lost 5%. Yippee!!! I am proud of myself, although I know that I have a long way to go. My new goal is to get under 200, which I should be able to do in the next week or so.

I've been going to a Zumba class for a few weeks and am really liking it. We have a fitness center in our community and they offer a Zumba class on Thursday nights. A few of my friends go and according to the teacher, we burn 400-500 calories with each workout. Last night, I also did a yoga class. That stuff is hard! But it felt good - really stretched out my back and my hips.

Carnie Wilson

About a week or so ago, I was watching the Dr. Oz show and Carnie Wilson was on. She's heavy again and trying to lose weight - this time with the help of Dr. Oz and his people. I'm thinking to myself that yes, she does look heavy. She steps into the "truth tube" and it says she weighs 218 pounds. So, basically, she's my size. Yikes. That's about what I look like. Double yikes. That should give me the push I need!

I'm doing well with Weight Watchers. I'm down 9.2 pounds as of last Wednesday's weigh-in. Hopefully, I'll be down 10 pounds, which is also my 5%, at tomorrow's weigh in. I think I've done well this week. I've gone to the gym a couple of times and will work out tomorrow (LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!).

I went to Bunco last night at like most Bunco's with the group I'm in, the food was never ending. I did make some smart choices, but also some so-so ones. Although I did not go all out like I would have a couple of months ago. She did serve a delicious cake for dessert and I did have a piece of that. But I am paying for it today. My tummy is killing me! Not sure it was worth it...
