Wednesday - BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I can't believe it is already Wednesday.  Being busy certain makes the days go by quickly. 

I was getting bored with my dinners.  I found Gorton's talapia frozen fish and it is great.  It is fish yet I don't have to smell up the house with that fishy smell.  I pop it in the oven and get to enjoy fish without the smell.  It is so filling.  It has been a great discovery that is easy, so healthy and delicious. 

Here's my check-in for today:

CARDIO:  Wii Fit Advanced Step.

FOOD:

B - Cottage cheese
S - Bell pepper strips
L - Spinach salad, 1/4 cup feta cheese, spray Italian dressing
S - Cinnamon Toast Pretzels
D - Talapia with green beans
S - Power Crunch bars

Have a wonderful Wednesday BOTTing.

I did it - just what I commited to do on yesterdau's post - a BOTT compliant food day and at least 30 min (did a bit more) Wii exercise - with more aerobic than balance choices.

Commit to the same today.

Have a fine BOTT day one and all

Okay, here is question for you gals who are able to keep on track!

I teach cooking classes so I tend to like to be very very creative with food.  I get very weary of the same things twice.

HOW do you do it by eating the same things several times a week?  Do you ever feel like you want to just give in and create something decadent????

I love to cook and am afraid that I will miss it too much!

Hugs

Ames,

I am right there with you on loving to cook. Personally I find I stay on track much, much better by consistently eating the same things during the week for breakfast and lunch. I do try to change it up for dinner and enjoy some different things and I always eat out of the box on the weekends.

I find it easier to track and pack my food for the day when I have alot of the same things. This way I am never overwhelmed with options as I tend to overboard on eating if I have too many good things to choose from.

We are all different in how we approach food and eat so you need to do what works for you.

Lots of love with staying on track.

Jennifer

Oh dear - sure can't help you here Ames - I haven't a domestic cell in my body - If it can't be nuked I don't cook it   and I'm happiest (and most compliant) when I eat my same old favorites every day.

You know, though, I trust you to find a way to be creative AND compliant

Had a pretty good day yesterday and vowed to have even a better day today....

Fitness - 1 Hour of Jazzercise = 45 minutes of cardio dance and 15-20 minutes of weights and strength training.

B - Greek yogurt with small amount of granola
S - banana and peanut butter
L - Greek yogurt with small amount of granola (Bare Naked Granola)
S - Click
D - Chicken breast with 1/4 cup mashed potatoes
S - 20 chocolate flavored almonds (these are really good, taste's like chocolate with out the choc. calories YUM)

Have a great day.....I also want to thank everyone for their encouragment about my fear of reaching my goal.  I know some people suggested to change my goal, but that is the high end of the WW goal I have to reach in order to make it to goal and become a Lifetime Member.  I think finally admitting my fear is helping to overcome it, I may talk to someone about it, I've never seen a counselor or psychologist or Physchiatrist before....  Again thanks for the response!!!

Smiles,

Susan
