Monday - BOTT Cafe & Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I'm already looking forward to next weekend and it is just Monday!!! 

Here's my check in for today:

CARDIO:  Not quite yet until I finish my antibiotics.  Coming soon!

FOOD: 
B - Cottage cheese
L - Turkey, cheese, grilled apple sandwich
S - White Cheddar Kruncheez
D - Morningstar Soy Sausages (6)
S - Power Crunch bar

CHECK IN:  I'm still hoping for a 30-hour day!  I need the extra hours to do all the things that I want/need to do.  On the other hand, I need to also do less.  Thus, the tug of war I feel sometimes.  I want to do so many things that I love yet also need to carve in more down time and fun.  I'm working on it.... for me, awareness is key and then I act on it from there.  I'm aware and now looking at what to do about it.

Have a great Monday BOTTing.

Cathy

Good Morning BOTTers~

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mine was nice, had our moving sale and did really well, better then I was expecting!

Here are my stats from yesterday
B~ Noting
L~ 2 brown and serve sausage links
D~ Grilled Fish, steamed broccoli and a few fries
S~ Popcorn

Liquid:
20oz Passion Tea
32oz Water
16oz Iced tea

Vitamins:
None, awful, I know!  Forgot my pill pack here at work, and was to "busy" to rummage through the cabinet to get any out...

Cardio:
Was running around like a chicken with its head cut off on Sat with the moving sale... But nothing more then that!

All in all it was not that great of a BOTTing weekend!  I always seem to fall off track on the weekend, I guess I am a creature of habit and routine, and when I am not at work I tend to slip up, I need to work on that!

But is sure wasn't a DISASTER either.  WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER, YES WE CAN

CARDIO:  I spent 40 mins of quality, bike, book and me time before the electricity went out this moring.  Showering by emergency lighting is kinda spooky and it definitely scared the crap out of me when the electricity popped back on! LOL
FOOD:  
 Pre-WO: protein bar
1 bottle of water
WO - 2 bottles of water
B - plain yogurt and SF vanilla syrup
S - rtd protein as creamer in my coffee
1/2 bottle of water
L - Roast beef and cheese roll ups
1/2 bottle of water
S - Primal strip
1 bottle of water
D - leftover chicken lasagna

CHECK IN:   I spent Saturday being a couch potato and then spent Sunday running errands and enjoying some mother daughter time with my DD... it felt good!

Good for you 

I'm happy to report I reached my mini goal of being in the 120's this morning - by 2/10 ths of a pound - BUT I'M THERE!!!!  Next mini goal is to be within 10 pounds of my goal weight - which should bring me very close to my second mini goal of being able to button my pants and breathe at the same time.  I can tell my waist is smaller - just not that much smaller

Committing to a BOTT food and exercise day (2 miles in the park)

Tally ho, my friends

O my ... 120's?  that is so low in my world...

I just got to 150's and I may be done losing (they way I am built)

Congratulations.  You are doing fantastic.  Keep up good work!!!!

keep us on our toes...

Unfortunately I'm not terribly tall (sounds better than "I'm short" LOL) so at the high 120s I'm still right on the brink of "pudgy"  Thanks for your caring support  Couldn't do this without the BOTT folks! 

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I am recommiting to BOTTing. 

Due to work and other personal obligations, I may not be able to post on a daily basis, but I will commit to journaling my food daily and striving to reach my exercise goals.  I have missed you all these last couple of weeks and look forward to checking in when I can.

My plans for today are as follows:

B: TVP oatmeal
S: 2 hard boiled eggs
L: homemade vegetable beef soup
S: greek yogurt w/granola
D: italian burger (no bun) and green garden peas
S: protein bar

100 oz of water
all my vitamins
1 hour water aerobics

Thanks all for just being here.............Carrie

Have no doubts that whether or not you are able to post WE CARE ABOUT YOU.
