Day 7 OPTI
Good morning OB Famiglia!!!!!
Wanted to thank all those who forwarded the great OPTI recipe ideas, they helped a great deal! I couldn't get 4 shakes down a day so what I was doing as per another fellow OB was take the 4th packet and divide it into 3, increasing the other shakes. For the morning I would add Folgers individual coffee packets and ice, for lunch I tried all the other concoctions...mmmm, quite nice most of them and in the evening I would make it light and keep it to a green tea ice mix...also found if I munched on the cucumbers throughout the day it satisfied my hunger...
Little surprised that all I have lost is 9 pounds but hey, I'm 9 pounds lighter than I was a week ago and that is pretty darn good.
I'm also getting NERVOUS as the big day (Next Tuesday 24), anything to ease those nerves?

Good for you! Sounds like you are handling Opti like a champ. I didn't mind it myself, but was glad to see the back end of it.
I wasn't really "nervous", I was more so excited. I think dreaming of what my new life was going to be like kept me going. Reading the stories from our fellow OH people helped me stay focused too.
You will do great!!!!

You seem to be doing pretty good from what I can see of your stats! Kudos!
And I just love the OH People, they are there with you no matter what
