Good Morning, everyone has me ready to order some Click now. I love coffee and have been thinking about ordering it.

Food for today:

B - Low-Carb tortilla w/egg, black beans, spinach & cheese
S - Dannon Low-Carb Yogurt & handful of almonds
L - Turkey Chili
S - Light string cheese & apple
D - Sloppy Joes (made w/ground turkey, no bun) & cottage cheese

I usually don't have anything to eat after dinner as it tends to keep me up all night. I hope everyone has a great day and best of luck being on track today.

The plan for today...

B:  Activia Light
S:  1/2 50 Gram Slam, 5 grape tomatoes
L:  Leftovers - Chicken, veggies and alfredo noodles
S:  1/2 50 Gram Slam, Cheese stick
D:  chicken, corn, baked red potato
LNS:  fruit, peanuts, chocolates

Exercise:  30 minutes on the treadmill  *This didn't happen =(

The scale:  Got rid of 2 'holiday' pounds!

For those who have asked about the 50 Gram Slams, they are my crutch when it comes to protein.  Before switching to them, I wasn't getting nearly enough protein.  I hate powders, and I hate having to mix up my drinks.  The 50 Gram Slam is 15 ounces and contains 50 grams of protein, 270 cals.  I split it up for better absorption. 

What is a Gram Slam?

Thanks,
Deanna

Good Morning!
I hear what you're saying about that knock on the door!  Honestly, my second day on BOTT (yesterday) was tough.  I fought the urge to graze almost the whole day.  But, it really was my committment and focus to BOTT that got me through the day.  I didn't give in, and I feel really proud and empowered by that. 

Today (Day 3 BOTT) my food plan is as follows:
no work today until the afternoon, so I woke up very late!!!!  I've had a protein shake and am sipping on some chai tea.
Lunch: A Lean Cuisine Meal....not sure which one yet.
have to go to work at 4pm, so I will have a protein shake before then.  At work, I will sip on tea and have an Oh Yeah protein bar (1/2).
Dinner: baked chicken thigh, some salad, spoonful of couscous
working the refreshment stand at school, again! But, I'll get through it, just like I did last night.
LNS- coffee or tea, other half of protein bar

I'll check in later to report the dirty details!

Have a great day!

EDITED at 3:15pm...  Just came back from the movies. I saw DOUBT, with Meryl Streep...Loved IT!  Just about ready to have "lunch" now, before I go into work.  I am changing my food plan to be as follows:
lunch: spoonful of ricotta/feta/spinach pasta bake, piece of baked chicken thigh.
at work: I'll sip on DC tea, and have a protein bar.
At home, after my school commitment, I will have either a protein shake or another pc of chicken thigh.

EDITED: 9:00pm....It is amazing I made it through my 3 hrs at the office without caving!!!  There were homemade ginger cookies, wafer cookies, AND Chex Mix to munch on!!  arrrgh!  But, I sipped on my tea, I ate my protein bar, and I got through my time.  There was nothing at the basketball game that tempted me, and I came home, had a protein shake, and now I'm having a cupof decaf coffee.  I'll be in bed in one hour.  Seriously, the upbeat, no flaming and supportive nature of this group is what has helped me to keep myself on track for 3 days in a row.  I cannot remember that last time I kept on track for more than a day! 

I wish everyone success, whatever that may mean to you!    Julie
