Tuesday - BOTT Cafe & Cardio (Your invitation!)

Today is my day 2 for BOTT.  I am having a really hard time with head hunger.  I know I can stick to my plan, though.  I know I can, I know I can..... 
B: decaf coffee and a protein shake
L: Lean Cuisine Chicken Scallopini and lasagna....just the chicken
S Hot chocolate, chai tea (SF)
S protein shake
D chicken thigh, broccolli
more tea and coffee (decaf)
evening snack--protein shake

I've volunteered to work the refreshment stand tonight at our HS Basketball game....I will eat right before I go so the chicken is still sitting in my pouch.  Luckily, I'm not tempted by lollipops or fruity candy, but I'm hoping there isn't anything else to tempt me....I feel like I'm skaing on thin ice today.  Please send me good thoughts.  I'll update before bed and be truthful about my evening!

EDITED FOR UPDATE:  It's now time for bed, and I've had a really good day.  I feel kind of empowered because I was struggling today, but I kept to my plan.  I ate right before going to work the refreshment stand, and my stomach was full most of the time.  When my pouch emptied, I had a big mug of decaf tea to keep me busy. Now, I'm off to sleep.

What a fabulous Tuesday!
I had been having trouble with head hunger too and finally realized what it was when I seemed to be constantly hungry. Last week I felt that I was eating non-stop. For the first time in years I actually took the time to write down my meals. I mentally preplanned my meals for the day but below is the actual consumption

Breakfast  - Activa yougurt
Snack - small banana

Lunch - 1/4 tuna w/ mayo and egg plus 4 saltine crackers

snack- waffle pastry ( German snack food)

 late snack 1/4 cup shrimp tortilla soup during faculty meeting (pre-gym pick me up)

Dinner - 1 roasted chicken drumstick with the skin removed

Water 75 ozs

Exercise - 30 minutes elliptical , 1 hour Zoomba (Cardo dance class)

I will begin meeting with my trainer again MWF for one hour

 

What a day!  I started the day off with my coffee and volunteer work.  26 gram of protein in that baby~   Then I did some housework, then the treadmill for 30 minutes.  Burned another 144 calories!   I am going to either work with Wii Fit or the new resistance exercises later this evening.

Tried to track on Daily Plate but they weren't working real swift, so I went back to Spark People.  The thing I like best about Spark People is I can enter a recipe and have it available to track the same day.  It looks like Daily plate you have to wait a bit.  The soup is home made and I hope it is as good as it smells!


Any way here is my day according to Spark!  I have already had 60 oz of water, did my vitamins

WOW Ms Shell I am so sorry to hear that about your co-worker.  I also had a co-worker die in a head on collison in November, it was such a shock and she was only 39.  You never know what life will bring.

Thank you.  It is so hard to see people around you die for any reason which is why I do my best to make the most of today!!

Whoa, what a huge reminder that each day is the real deal and not a rehearsal for the future.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 

Are you okay?  I can't imagine how that was for you and the rest of your co-workers. 

I'm sorry for your loss.  Thanks again for the reminder.

Cathy

Oh man Shell!  What a shock and reminder.  You and your co-workers are in my thoughts.
