SweetTweets on the O2 Breakthrough - @ZnaTrainer (Twitter)

{EAV_BLOG_VER:911ee6cd019838cf}
I was on the O2 Breakthrough from Body by Zna for 3 glorious weeks. It was really working for me, but my one-on-one time with Zna has run out. I couldn't get anyone to talk to her or sign up. It was really a good deal for me. I feel stronger and pain free. I did take notes and have done it by myself today. I think I will be fine. I am going to follow the Vegan diet and continue to do the exercises.

I am so thankful to Zna for all the time she has spent with me. She is so generous and she has such a lovely spirit. When she says: "Beautiful Body by Zna Love cures people~both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Dr.Karl Menninger *My heart wants to know you. *YOU* are my priority, your youngest, yummiest you yet as healthiest, wealthiest, richly deserving of abundance. Your dreams come true!" she means it. 


In the course of 3 weeks, I lost 7 lbs and gained lots of energy I haven't seen in over a year. I lost 4 inches off my chest, 2 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my hips, 3 inches off each upper thigh, 2 inches off each lower thigh and 1.5 inches off each calf. The inches are what really mattered to me. 
This is my update for my Life Plan. I am going to start looking for more updates.


Like I recently volunteered to work at the Chesapeake (Virginia Baptist Homes). So, we will see how that goes this week.
My daughter was here and she organized, labeled, cleaned my shop, upstairs and down. And, she cleaned the garage. Something about having everything in order, relieves stress for me. What relieves stress for you? 
Tell me about yourself.

Starting the Week Right

• Hello, I got up and fixed my coffee this morning and drank it while I was getting ready for church. Once all that was done, I made my egg in the microwave, then put salsa, cottage cheese and some shredded cheddar in a bowl and warmed it up. When it was all done, I put it all in a Ramakin. They are not very big and I know that that is what I can eat every day. 

• I did a lot of walking at church. I am the Lead Usher and I have to make sure that everything runs smoothly so the service won't be disturbed. We have an 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. service, so I do a lot of walking and talking. Ray calls me his "Walkie-Talkie."
• When we arrived at home, the crockpot was cooking away. I made a beef roast and I put a package of mixed veggies in before we left this morning. I Threw in a little rice and broccoli when we got home. I made a salad, measured the meat, and 'voila' dinner. It sure was good. We ate sensible portions and will have either more salad or fruit snacks later. Meat is a once a day thing. Ray has those Morning Star Farms veggie sausage. He really seems to like them. 

 It would be nice if one (or more) of my Twitter buddies would get on the bandwagon and help me out. Maybe I could even help them out. I was President of  Parents Without Partners Chapter 275 in Newport News for 3 years about 20 years ago 9250 members). Ray tells people he had to marry me to get me out of there. Anyway, I was a member for almost 5 years and worked with singles every Wednesday night in a program called We Care. It was very nice. Members could come an have their Wednesday Therapy. I facilitated it nearly the whole time I was a member. I learned so much and I also took classes on psychology at our local community college.

• At our church, First Baptist of Newport News, I facilitated a Celebrate Recovery Program for people with drug and alcohol problems for over 2 years. Both programs allowed me to observe people and I read about the psychology all the time, not to mention that people would call me almost every night and I talked hours on the phone with them. From talking about the perils of being a single parent to how to tell if their spouse was cheating. The advice always was well received and I don't remember giving bad advice. 
• I am an ordained Deacon and I will pray for any who needs prayer. I know it has worked for me and it can work for you.

A Better Day

Thursday was a much better day. I had my egg, cheese, salsa & cottage cheese for breakfast. I got myself together and went to church to meet the ladies for our quilting class. We are making baby quilts for sick children. I actually got to work on one today.
The good thing was, there was no food there. When I got home, I made yellow squash with onions, salad and chopped chicken. It was great and very healthy. Ray liked it a lot. He likes his salad chopped very small, so that is how I did it. It was great. I think I will fix talipia on Friday evening.
After dinner, we went to COSTCO. That is always interesting and expensive. We really didn't stay very long. We only bought fresh foods like strawberries, apples, grapes, etc. Fresh foods for us. I am beginning to feel like I really could do the plan.

Can you follow your life plan?
Contact me and let me know your opinions. I feel like the jellyfish pictured.

Second Night

I wonder if I am doing this right. No one to keep me in check. I had my salsa and egg for breakfast. It was really great with some cottage cheese.
I warmed up the soup that I made yesterday for lunch.
So far so good.
Oops, found some white cheddar popcorn we brought back from Kentucky. Put it in baggies and ate one bag full.
Picked up my elderly friends and took them to church for dinner. We had baked chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, salad, roll, and pineapple upside down cake. I ate desert first, then salad and half of my chicken, little potatoes and peas. When I dropped everyone off at the Chesapeake, I went to the Farmer's Market and bought vegetables, lean meat, and some fruit and honey. At the check out, I found a Twix with PB and ate it on the way home. I am so bad. I need someone to answer to. How will I ever lose weight? I need some people to keep me honest. HELP!

The First Night

I started out really good. I had a microwave egg w/cheese/salsa/cottage cheese for breakfast. It was great and I didn't feel bad for a while. Took my morning pills.
Made large pot of chicken soup using ramen noodles. added corn, peas, onions, garlic, canned chicken, water, beaten egg. Cooked it a while and put in ramen noodles when almost done. Salt & pepper to taste. It was great and enough for Ray and I for lunch and dinner. Although at dinner, I fixed Ray a hot sandwich with thin rolls and a veggie burger and thin cheddar cheese slice. I cooked it on a grill like the Forman grill. Later we had strawberries and blueberries with a tad of Cool Whip on top.
That sounds great until I confess that I ate half a sandwich bag of tiny chocolate peanut butter cups when I had a urge for chocolate this afternoon. Oh well, at least they are all gone now. LOL!
One person followed today and I think that is cool. I hope someone else joins. It is much more fun to lose weight with other people.
Here is to tomorrow.
