Morning! This is my first time posting on the Cardio and Cafe, and I'm glad to do it. I never usually plan out my meals like this. It may be very helpful for BOTT!

Cardio - 7 miles on the bike in about 20 min. (doing all kinds of hills too!)

Food-
B - Protein shake
S - String Cheese
L - Lean Cuisine Sesame Chicken Stir Fry
S - Laughing Cow wedge and whole grain melba toast
D - Chicken and Stir Fry veggies
S - Kashi Go Lean cereal (maybe, I don't normally have a night time snack.)

Hey all.......I went to the gym last night and did 50 situps!!wooo hoooo!  Even better, the scale finally dropped!  In 3 days I went from 193.20 to 189 and the 189 was at 7:00 at night!  I took my measurements too, as some of you suggested and here they are:
arms: 15" each
waist: 40"
hips: 42"
thighs: 23" each

Will keep you updated.  I am only going to measure and weigh once a week in order to avoid self-defeat. 

Today, I will do 20-30 minutes on treadmill, 45-50 situps and obliques and the weight machines for my arms and upper body.

B- Atkins oatmeal
No snack because I went back to sleep after oatmeal as my back was killing me!
L- Salad w/grilled chicken
S- Hummus w/high protein (10 g) pita
D- Haddock grilled on my George Foreman grill w/broccoli
S- Protein bar

Have a great Monday everyone!

Good Morning, Cathy


Here's my check in:

B- 2 strips bacon, 1 egg, 1 slice high fiber whole wheat toast

S- lowfat yogurt

L- tuna on 1 slice HF whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomato

S- protein bar

It's the end of Monday, but here I am.  Am happy to report that I am back on track today (again) after an uncontrolled eating day yesterday - the only good part was that, with my car not working right, I did not feel safe driving it until I got it serviced this morning, so all the things I ate were good foods. 

I have begun to wonder if I have been eating too few calories and hunger kind of overwhelms me (which sure doesn't justify the way I ate yesterday!)  So instead of limiting myself to 450 calories a day, I'm increasing my calories to 550 calories a day.  Will see if that works better.

Will keep you posted on my findings.  It feels so good to know I can come here, tell you what I've done, share my plans for doing better, and I will be understood, accepted and supported.

Thank you my friends - I AM GOING TO REACH MY GOAL (I euphemisticall say what I did yesterday was to "over maintain" )

Here's to a 100% BOTT day tomorrow.
