Tuesday - BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I saw this quote and wanted to share with you.

"Chance can allow you to accomplish a goal every once in a while, but consistent achievement happens only if you love what you are doing."
- Bart Conner

It got me to thinking.  Getting and staying back on track isn't really a matter of chance.  So, like this quote states we need to love what you are doing.  Yes, that sounds a bit odd to getting back on track but think about it.  Rather than look at it as negative or as a "I have to" or "I need to" think about the positives.  Love how you feel when you are back on track.  Focus on the positives rather than messages we can play in our head that are negative.  Think about how much better you feel when you're on track - you feel a sense of control, you feel empowered, you think clearer, and all of the other benefits of being on track.  It is a different mindset to love being on track but I'm going to do it.  Love being on track - I like it!!

Just another one of those off days.... I slept pretty good last night but it feels like I have to pound coffee all day today just to keep my eyes open.  All I want to do is go lay in my bed. Hope I'm not comming down with something.  

Saddly due to my complete lack of energy I didn't get to the gym. Hopefully tomorrow... if not, since its GORGEOUS outside today, I'll try to walk/jog the block a few times after work tonight. Something's a bit off and I don't know what.

Food -

B - Breakfast burrito (ground turkey, italian cheese blend, joseph's flax wrap, taco sauce)
S - Wasa crisps
L - Baked chicken parm and broccoli
S - Wasa crisps or an EAS Carb Control shake
D - being so hot, I'm not sure. Might be burgers.
S - If I eat one, it'll be 100 cal pack Wholly Guacamole and spicy organic blue corn chips

Positive words and encouragement are always good to hear.  Had a really good day today and enjoyed the weather as well.  Purchased a new DVD by Leslie Sansone, I'll be picking it up from Walmart in the morning.
