Monday - BOTT Cafe & Cardio

Here we are at another BOTT week!  I hope all of us have a great one.

If you're having successes and/or challenges you'd like to share, BOTT is the place.

I'm slowly but surely getting better.  I'm going to take it easy but try to do the Wii Fitt step.  It isn't difficult but will ease me into getting a little activity from being so sick.

B - 1/2 cottage cheese
S - Veggie slices
L - Turkey and White Cheddar Kruncheez
S - 1 ounce of chicken
D - Morningstar soy sausages (6)
S - Vanilla Power Crunch bar

Happy Monday!

I can't believe this!  I forgot to weigh this morning until I was 1/2 way through my breakfast!!!!!!  Now we all know one never weighs after they have eaten anything LOL  Don't know whether this has to do with me being on my way to "normal" or being 76 years old.  Since I have no illusions that I will ever be "normal" about this, you can clearly see what is left - so I'm not even going there - just going to wallow in joy about the shrinkage and move on to tomorrow 

Hey guys!

B: Protein coffee

I am back on track.  After being sick all weekend, I can eat and drink again. 

On a good note, I am so clean inside (2 day running will do that to you) that no one can accuse me of being full of sh**, lol.

I had a problem finding nice jeans.  Size 8 fit me OK, but there is usually some room in the butt area (I lost my butt !).   So a friend gave me a size 7 jeans that fit me like a glove, no muffin top.  They are just just perfect, and modern, low rise. I look good in them.  Even I do not see myself fat in them.  They fit me so good, and since she is size 6, they were a bit too big on her.  I am really happy, since I was trying to find nice jeans to fit me, but was not willing to spend $$$ to get them.  My friend is awesome.  She is the one who also altered some of my clothes for me (including 2 dresses) so I did not have to buy much clothes for my cruise next week.  
O yea, I am going on a "cruise to loose" next week.  7 day in the sun, tropics, with some fellow losers.  yea me.  I hope to lose some inches and weight, and gain some muscles. 

I still did not start my exercise.  After my gallbladder surgery I was losing so fast and had so little energy that the goal for December was to slow down or stop losing, and get some energy back.  Well, I did so well, that I completely stopped losing.  Maintaining is good sometimes.  As a result, i got some of my energy back, can stay awake for more than 6 hrs at a time (I had trouble with that), do not take lunch naps anymore, and feel like I am in a good place to get back on track and lose last 3.5 lbs. to my goal.  I know I can do that.  

Today menu: 
PB: hot tea
B: protein coffee (yum)
S: banana
L: chicken + protein tomato soup (with some seaweed)
S: Protein bar
D: pork, vegetables
S: protein something (either drink or hot soup)

Need to get some extra protein in since last 2 days I got very little.  I have to make sure I restock my "internal protein stock".

My weekend was a bust......I did OK just didn't get enough protein and I'm sure I had a few too many sour patch kids....

B - Oatmeal
S - South Beach Protein Bar
L - Chicken Soup with Chicken Unjury Added
D - 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese, 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt with sugar-free Jello powder mixed in
S - 2 cups Popcorn

1 Hour Jazzercise (40 minutes cardio/20 minutes weights)

Have a GREAT day BOTT'ers
