Wednesday, BOTT Cafe & Cardio

It is good to plan.  So at least I know if my protein intake for the day is short and add food/shake as needed. These day i am worry of not eating enough food (it happens) so the planning is important:
 
Today:
PB: green /white tea
B: coffee with protein
S: another protein shake (I was hungry)
L: turkey+ veggies
S: banana w/ protein cereal
D: pork + veggies.

Total; app: 100 protein, 900-1000 cal.

not enough calories - so it looks like have a space for an additional "something"

HI all!!!

Did 3miles WATP this morning and hope to get in 30min on the bike tonite.

Here's what I'm eating:

B~protein shake before workout/activia light after workout
S~2 scrambled eggs w/cheese
L~salad w/shaved deli chicken, cheese, croutons and light use of ranch dressing
S~protein bar
D~either a piece of meatloaf or maybe some cottage cheese and banana
S~protein shake before bed

As of January 6, this is my progress on my initial BOTT goals:

1-  track & document triggers/thoughts around emotional eating:  done 6/6 days
2-  do some physical activity of length of time each day:  done 5/6 days (working back up to 20-25min each day)
3-  document food eaten each day:  done 6/6 days

I plan to ramp up each goal every three weeks.

Hello everyone!!!  Today is my 1 yr surgiversary!!!!!!!!  113 lbs lighter and looking and feeling great!!!!

I always plan my daily meals when I work because I work 12 hrs and have to take all but dinner with me, but on days off (today) I dont really plan, but I do write it down and have been using the daily plate since joining BOTT 
so far ive had
B - my usual oatmeal with protein, raisins and walnuts added in

1 hr at the gym did wk 1 day 1 of the couch to 5k plus weights and a smidge on the elliptical while at the gym 20 oz crystal light

post work out snack- protein drink with 1 scoop of Click and 1 scoop of body fortress chocolate and 12 oz water  warmed up  (drinking that now)
1/2 of all required vitamins

I will edit later to add the rest of the day
EDITED
L - 1 c homemeade chili salad with dressing
S - 1/2 mini bag micro popcorn
S - 4 fig newtons cup of decaf tea
D - 4 oz chicken
S - 2 graham crackers 2 tbs jam 
I ended up eating some stupid things and if I had just kept track all day long on the daily plate, I would have realized that I needed some protein or something.  I need to eat a bit more to compensate for the sudden increase in activity, and the need for more protein is now apparent to me.
