Monday - BOTT Cafe & Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I hope everyone had a great weekend! 

We have had a pretty easy winter so far but that is about to change!  We are under a winter advisory with freezing rain, ice and sleet starting this evening.  A couple of years ago, we had an ice storm and were without power for 13 days!  The majority of the area was without power.  We stayed at a hotel.  My kids are excited at the possibility of staying at a hotel again.  For them it was an adventure.  I'm sure hoping for power to stay on! 

Here's my check in for today:

CARDIO:  Fighting the crowds at the grocery store stocking up on non-perishables in case of a power outage!

FOOD:

B - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
L - Turkey and White Cheddar Kruncheez
S - Green beans
D - Southwestern Egg Beaters with extra veggies added
S - Power Crunch bar

Have a great BOTT day!

Cathy

Not a cheery prospect    Sounds a lot like our preparations when a hurricane is looming.

Wish you well and that Mother Nature decides to spare you from losing power this time  

I commit to a good BOTT day.   

OMG 13 days!!!! I hope that doesn't happen again Cathy!!!!!! We've been slammed with double the snow so far, but no ice storms yet~those are the worst! I hope you can find all the stuff you need to get you thru just in case!!!!!!
