Thursday, BOTT Cafe & Cardio

Hi BOTTs,

We bought some new detergent that was on sale and I've had a weird allergic reaction.  I have these itchy bumps all over.  I've never been an allergic person as far as detergents ever before.  There's something in there though that I definitely reacted to.  Fun, huh?  Change can be good but evidentally not in laundry detergents LOL.

Here's my check-in:

CARDIO:  Going to take an evening walk with my dog.

FOOD:

B - Cottage cheese
S - String Cheese
L - Turkey and Cinnamon Toast Pretzels
S - String Cheese
D - Chicken with vegetables mixed together
S - Power Crunch bar

Have a terrific Thursday BOTTing!

Cathy - is it fair to say you've "come clean" about your detergent allergy?

Well, did my evening ever go astray from my very good BOTT exercise commitment!    I have 3 cats and their automating cleaning little box gave up the ghost so that, along with a new alarm clock for me (old one gave up the ghost too) was on my shopping list.  Wanted to go to Target, but thought I SHOULD go to Wal-Mart.  So I did - Wal-Mart had nothing I wanted, but Target had everything (Of course, plus a lot more that I "needed" after I got there LOL)  When I got home I took pity on the cats and decided I would assemble the new littler box for them before I ate supper.  Spent the next 3 hours trying to get the littler box to stop combing the litter - nothing I did worked and their help line was closed until "normal working hours" today.  Had a bit of a struggle setting up the new alarm - but was successful and, compared to the littler box fiasco, it was a walk in the park! 

I didn't finish my supper and prepare for today until 10:30 p.m. and, since I get up at 4:40 a.m. just didn't have the "spizz" to exercise even 10 minutes at that point.  So, I have no idea what my BMI was yesterday (and it's so fun to know).  I did follow my plan for my 2nd clear liquid day after Tuesday's fill.  Today is my 1st of 2 full liquid days which means I can have my choc pudding that I like so well.

Have some shopping to do this evening (oh yes, I had to work an extra hour yesterday) but SHOULD be home well in time to exercise at least 30 minutes.  I sure do love my WiiFit program!  It keeps me entertained so I hardly am aware that I'm "exercising"  (It takes so little to entertain me - and I stamp on the calendar for exercising that day rewards and motivates me to e me like I was a kid.  Makes me actually WANT to come back and exercise the next day (but not at 10:30 at night!)

So......I commit to a compliant Day 3 of refeeding and exercise for at least 30 minutes.  Hopefully the "technology deamons" will not zap me tonight !!!

Have a delightful BOTT day, one and all.  Thanks for being you and accepting me being being me

Good Morning! I am reminiscing today as I became a Mom 18 years ago today. My twin girls turn 18 today and it made me think how extremely grateful I am to be here to celebrate it with them. So I'm not so sure how the eating will go today, but so far, so good.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

How lucky they are to have you as their mom!    - a mom who loves them enough to make monumental lifestyle changes so she can be around a long long time to enjoy them.
