Tuesday - BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Hi BOTTs!

I keep a gratitude journal and write in it daily for the things I'm grateful for.  I reviewed my past entries and there are so many that involve our BOTT group and all of you.  This group is so rewarding and fulfilling to me.  Thanks to each and every one of you. 

Here's my check-in for today:

CARDIO:  Taking day off so I don't overdo.  Feels great though to be able to start doing something to move.  Although I'm having to take it slow and easy, it is something to get to the level of activity I am accustomed to. 

FOOD:

B - Cottage cheese
S - Small apple and string cheese
L - Turkey and White Cheddar Kruncheez
D - Morningstar Soy Sausages and green beans
S - Fiber One bar

Have a terrific Tuesday BOTTing!

Hi June,

I love Taco Soup.  If you don't mind, would you share your recipe or what it is?  I hae a recipe that is not wls-friendly. 

I also love your idea of a string cheese/ham roll-up.  I'm going to give that a try.  That's one of things I love about the check-in because I've obtained so many great ideas for food.

I'm happy you're BOTTing too.  Yea!
