Tuesday - BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I had a rotten day yesterday.  One of those days that if it could go wrong, it did.  I kept reminding myself yesterday and today so far that you can't have the rose without the thorns.....rainbows without the rain storm.  I had the thorns and rain storm yesterday and today is a new day!

Here's my check-in for today:

Had an interesting occourence last night. Hubby decided to come with me for the walk. Ended up not jogging but got some great quality time, talked about buying a house, and walked at least a mile and a half, up and down hills. I felt kinda great when he was winded at the end and I wasn't. Kinda accomplished.

Also this morning, I pulled on a pair of pants I bought last week, a little tight, figuring it was a good goal to fit into them. Well I put em on this morning and I fit into them. W00t! It looks like I've lost 3 lbs in the last week and a half. I'm cool with that!!

Cardio - Walk/Jog, depending on if hubs comes with again

Food -
B - 1/2 subway sweet onion chicken flatbread
S - protein shake
L - Other half
S - some spaghetti and sausage left over (we'll see, I might save it for lunch tomorrow)
D - Whatever mom makes tonight!

Well, I'm back from the wedding - a beautiful event.  I did great with my food - ate what I planned and took with me - until the reception dinner Saturday night - then I kind of pigged out.  I did come back weighing one pound less than when I left which pleased me.  I had a 100% compliant day yesterday (and Sunday my insides were so messed up I hardly ate anything at all lol)  so I'm off and running again.

Have to get going to get ready for my maintenance group.

More another day

 Welcome back, HappyLap!!

Congrats on losing a pound while you were going.  Also to sticking to your plan. That shows we can accomplish anything we put our minds to!!!

Thanks for caring Michelle

Yesterday was quite interesting as far as my food went since I was completely off schedule with everything.

Today I'm trying something different...my own little version of the 5-day pouch test. Since I know my pouch isn't stretched, I'm mainly wanting to refocus it on eating good things and rejecting the bad ones. I've never really had a probelm with sugar, but hope this will make that happen. I'm going to stick to protein drinks/soup during the day and a meal at night for the next three days. Hopefully, I will see a decent (at least 4 lb) drop. If so then I'll probably do this periodically throughtout the process.

Cardio ~ serious house cleaning (company coming for a week)

Cafe ~

S ~ Champion Nutrition Protein Drink
L ~ Baked Potato Soup f/Charlestons (1 cup/not bowl)

Michelle - Good luck with your food plan - sounds as though it's a good idea - you may or may not lose 4 lbs, but you'll almost certainly will lose some and "some" is way better than nothing LOL
