Tuesday - BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Hey BOTTers,

I'm pooped.  I went to bed early last night and am still tired.  Being sick sure drains your energy level.  The difference this time from when I got so sick a few months ago was that I'm listening to my body.  Rather than pushing myself, I'm not taking on the world and going to bed early and focusing on self-care.  Sounds easy enough but when you're used to being there for everyone else, it doesn't come second nature to do the same for yourself.  I'm listening and taking care of me!!

Here's my check-in:

CARDIO:  Taking off until I'm on the other side of my sinus infection.

FOOD:

B - Chicken and vegetable soup.
S - Vegetable strips
L - Turkey sandwich on high fiber bread
S - Cinnamon Toast Pretzels
D - Fish and steamed vegetables
S - Power Crunch bar

Have a terrific Tuesday!!

Cathy, sorry to hear you are under the weather, and it is best to get rest and not push yourself so you can get better.

Workout - 45 minutes of dance practice for a performance we are doing at school where I work.
1/2 hour on the treadmill, 30 minute personal training and 1 hour of Jazzercise.  Wow I'm exhausted just writing that LOL!!!

B - Yogurt with granola
S - Almonds
L - Edammame Salad
S-Click -Cinnamon Toast pretzels
D - Stuffed chicken breast

have a great Tuesday!!!

I hope you feel better soon, Cathy. Anyone heard from Happylapbander? I haven't seen her since last week!

Got to the gym this morning and hit the arm machines for about 20 minutes, was short on time. But at least I went!

So I'm sick and tired and sick and tired of the scale not moving. I've tried doing it the proper ways, I was hoping to see a kickstart after last weekend... nothing for 3 solid weeks.  So the key word for me for the next week to few weeks or so is PROTEIN. I'm going somewhat of an aktins style, high protein, extremely low carb, uber water and vitamin suppliments. I'm trying to at least briefly push my body into ketosis to hopefully jumpstart my fat burning hormones into gear. Did anyone ever do Adkins? How many carbs were you alotted in the first stages? I think my mom has the book but it'd be easier if I could just get the simple numbers. I have a hard core agenda and if this doesn't work I'm not sure what'll come next!!

So for me... Food has become quite simple. I bought a whole fricken chicken, for cripes sake.

B - Chicken and organic ****ake mushroom and sesame dressing
S - Dry edamame (Finally found it. They're pretty tasty!)
L - Chicken and organic ****ake mushroom and sesame dressing
S - Dry edamame
D - might go for fish to change it up a little
S - something green, maybe a salad.

You've all seen me struggling to lose these last few weeks, so I hope you understand my desperation!
