EATING HEALTHY & GETTING SLIM

Hi my name is Maddy..I live in Central Fla with my husband, 7 kitties and 1 African Gray parott. we love decorating our old historic home, and taking care of all our critters. We have 2 kids and we also have 5 wonderful grandkids.
We are both retired, and I'm a portrait artist in my spare time.
I was doing the Gabriel Method for awhile. It's a wonderful way of eating but after 6 months it just wasn't working for me.

I was doing the Gabriel Method for awhile. It's a wonderful way of eating but after 6 months it just wasn't working for me.

The last few weeks I have really changed everything about how I'm eating. I only have 1100 to 1200 cal a day, and I devide it into 3 or 5 meals. And when I do eat, it's very healthy things. I recently purchased a Vita Mix and that has been incredible for my diet.
I put in apples, oranges, frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, grapes, (and any other fruit I can think of)....then I also add, baby spinach, carrots, romaine lettuce, and other handy vegies. Also add some ice. Then blend it all together, and it's fantastic. I could never sit down and eat a big plate of raw vegies, or even that much fruit, but with the Vita Mix I can have all those fruits and vegies.... which pulverizes everything....to a wonderful smoothie..........now I'm totally addicted to that....I love it.

And I'm doing cardio and exercises from my Wii Fit............

I feel great and I've lost about 6 lbs in just 3 weeks.....I might have FINALLY discovered the way of eating thats best for me.

I'll keep you informed.
MADDY

My Goals:
To loose wt slowly and in a healthy fashion. Most of my life I was between a size 3 to an 8......so I hate being over wt. Quit smoking about 25 yrs ago, had a hystorectomy and got older.....and here came the weight.
Better late than never I have discovered " diets don't work"....but what I'm doing now can & is working.
But now I WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT, AND I'LL DO IT IN A HEALTHY FASHION."
I have a great husband, kids and grandkids, so I want to be around for all of them.

My Program:
I am on a different program, that is NOT a diet..
It's called the Gabriel Method, and the founder of this method has lost over 225 lbs himself, and he now gives seminars to doctors. It's a very simple program and has a lot of interesting facets to it. One of the parts I love is the visualization portion, that works and can retrain the body into wanting to be thin.
If you're interested in the details send me an email at madlylnf@aol.com. or just come over to our Gabriel Method site, we would love to have you.

Personal Information:
We moved to a small town in Central Fla, from Ft. Lauderdale. We are both retired now. Most of my career was spent as a stock & commodity broker..........glad I'm not in that now....lol
We have two kids, and 5 grandkids.....7 kitties, and one African Gray parott.
We have an old historic home built in 1926, and we love it......theres a picture of it on my photo page. It's a very unique house, I wish the walls could talk....lol.


Other Information:
I love good food, hmmmm maybe thats why I'm here. We love to go to the movies, and watching Idol, dancing with the stars, so you think you can dance, Survivor...and other similar shows .
I love being on these sites and meeting new friends.
Love to play golf, but can only play in the winter. I'm allergic to the sun (red head)...but I hate snow even more, so I'll stay in Fl, and just load up on the sun screen.
It's fun taking this trip with nice folks......and now we have started our own site with a REALLY fantastic wt loss method. I'm doing great on it, and I love it.

Hi Maddy, thanks for the welcome to the Gabriel Method and for commenting on my blog. I bought the GM book a few days ago and have only read a little bit so far. I did download the mp3 to listen to at night. Last night was the first night I heard all of what he was saying instead of falling asleep. It sounds really good.

Your page is very sunny!

Hi Maddy!
Thanks so much for dropping in to leave me a note and goodies, also for the friend add, I am honored.
I listened to Gabriel and Paul in the wee hours of dawn, dozed back off in the middle of them, I hope I am not imagining this, but today my hunger is gone, I got up at my usual time, ate my oatmeal, and 7 hours later I thought I had better eat something and so I ate a sandwich from Subway, this is so usual for me, I pray it last.
