Oprah - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Paulie · 05-12-2005, 06:35 PM

I watched her show today on her weight loss and her boot camp.

She works out 8 times a week, and does 300 situps a day!!

She had some great little snack ideas too.

I know I need to bump up my cardio more......treadmill..treadmill....treadmill

**Pony** · 05-12-2005, 08:33 PM

Well.......what were the snack idea's!!!!! Don't leave me hanging! lol

I really have found that I like that ulipticle (sp?) and it's supposed to give you more of a cardio than the treadmill.

Well, I have been uping my water! lol

If I had her money .....oh never mind, what snacks? *LOL*

Oprah DOES look great as of late. What were her tips? Curious.....

cupowater · 05-13-2005, 05:36 AM

On the show it said to go to her site ( opra.com) And it would all be there.

Paulie · 05-13-2005, 09:26 AM

Copied from her website.....

Every day between 3:30 and 4 p.m., Oprah knows she will be ravenous. What simple snack gets her through these cravings? She has a cup of green tea, a handful of almonds and slices of apple and Parmesan cheese. "Usually people are looking for some kind of texture with their snacks," Bob Greene explains. "[The nuts and apple] add the crunch."

Oprah has discovered a no-fat, no-sugar fudgesicle that satisfies her chocolate cravings. "I feel like I'm indulging myself," she says, "but it's, like, 45 calories!"
_________________________
"Have you ever done this?" Oprah asks. "Just standing with the cabinet open, looking up and down trying to find something? And you know there ain't nothing in there that wasn't there 12 minutes ago!"

Oprah handles this problem by making a crunchy sundaeâ€”she grabs a handful of Grape-NutsÂ® cereal and a handful of Spoon SizeÂ® Shredded Wheat. â€¦ "And then I use 2 percent milk," she says. "Skim would be even better but I don't like it. Then a few blueberries on topâ€”and that is delicious

Oprah is convinced that this healthy gelatin cobbler snack is as good as a sundae. First, prepare the "cobbler" with unsweetened flavored gelatin, using Diet SpriteÂ®, Diet 7-UpÂ® or FrescaÂ® instead of water. Add strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Then garnish with a squirt of whipped cream. Top with crushed walnuts or almonds and enjoy!

**Pony** · 05-13-2005, 10:35 AM

I wonder if she's been watching me in my home and I didn't even know it....LOL

I will have to check out her site more!!!

Paulie · 05-13-2005, 10:38 AM

the jello with diet soda sounds yummy to me. I am gonna get some of that today. I got sick of plain sugar free jello pretty quickly.

Last night I browned chopped zuchini in onions and taco seasoning. Then I browned ground turkey in taco seasoning, layered it in a pan, topped with motz cheese and baked for a few minutes to melt the cheese....stuffed it into Whole wheat pita pockets...YUMMY dinner.

**Pony** · 05-13-2005, 10:42 AM

OOOOO, that's sounds yummy, well except for the zuchini.....but it does sound like a way to get me to eat it..lol

Paulie · 05-13-2005, 10:46 AM

It was very good. You could use whatever veggie you want really.

**Pony** · 05-13-2005, 11:08 AM

Thanks but you know me a veggies...lol

It does sound good and I think I may try it anyway. I am always up for an adventure!

Paulie · 05-13-2005, 11:12 AM

Oh I forgot.....you are scared of veggies

But with all the taco seasoning....it is yummy. Try it, you just might like it.

Having a personal chef does make it alot easier. Just ask my H who has lost 30 lbs in like 2 months.

with me making ALL his meals.

findinganewme · 05-13-2005, 03:17 PM

WOW .... powerful, painful show!

I watched it with my two daughters who know about my addiction to alcohol but not to drugs.

I cried my eyes out and they couldn't understand WHY it affected me so!

Although Meth was not my choice of drugs, the show could be applied to any addiction.

In both cases, a forceful intervention was used. It had me almost wishing my family had done that to me!

GOD, how'd I get here?

Paulie · 05-13-2005, 04:34 PM

That show you are talking about is on for me in 30 minutes...I can't wait to see it.

Chy · 05-13-2005, 08:20 PM

Wow those sound delicious! Will have to try it out.
