Good Morning BOTTers

Can you believe two of us were randomly drawn out of the hat to receive a prize???  Amazing isn't it.  I'm so excited.

Well, the scales frowned a bit this morning.  But since, even with the frown, I still have less than 2 pounds to go to reach goal - 1.8 to be exact, but hey that's less than 2 pounds, I'm thrilled.  The frown doesn't surprise me since I'm not able to walk without pain - so, guess what, I don't walk one step more than I have to.  LOL   (I think I've been patient quite long enough but Mother Nature doesn't seem to agree with me!)

FOOD:
B - Breakstone's fat free cottage cheese 80 cal
      Health Wise pineapple fruit drink - 70 cal
S - HW choc drink - 80 cal
L - HW chick pasta meal - 200 cal
      HW choc drink - 80 cal
S - HW choc drink - 80 cal
D - HW taco cheese protein bites - 120 cak
      My chili - 350 cal

1060 cal          96g carb          135g protein

EXERCISE:
Getting from point A to point B the minimum # of times, taking the minimum # of steps grrrrrrrrr!  I don't like being on a 'short leash" like this!!!!


If each of you walked 100 extra steps today and dedicated them to me, do you think my scales might smile tomorrow?

May your day be joyful and your scales smile upon you

Hi Botters!
I'm a slacker!  I've been at a stall for quite a while and I know that it's my fault...  I need to up my exercise, I've been slacking off and I need to get back to documenting my foods!!!  Hopefully, committing to it here will make me more responsible for my actions.
Cardio for today - 30 min eliptical and 30 treadmill
Food - fage w/granola
Snack - click
Lunch - chicken roll-up
Snack - protein drink
Dinner - buffalo burger w/veggies
Snack - fage  w/ sf caramel
Have a great day!

Good morning ladies!

Not happy with the scale this morning.  It has me back almost where I started when I got BOT - and well, I'm frustrated with myself - or the scale - not sure which, but one of them has me grumpy!  I'm sticking with my program however, because I know I need to, and I'm having faith that eventually the two will agree and the scale will start to smile for me.  (I really just want to be below 300 for more than 15 minutes please....thankyouverymuch!) 

I think the problem is that I'm still struggling with the 'going' part of stuff - (fiber is working, but very slowly)   We're off to West Virginia this weekend to visit my In-laws, so I won't be posting.  However, I know that I will be okay - she has a VERY low carb lifestyle, so I shouldn't have a problem finding anything to eat.  

My plan for the day: 

B - Protein Shake
S - Yogurt and Kay's Natural Cereal
L - 4pcs sushi left over from last night
S- Apple and Peanut Butter
D - Sausage and peppers
S - Hi protein pudding

I'm also going to try and get back to the gym today - I think that should help kick things into motion too.  Besides, I've been paying for a membership I haven't been able to use because my foot's been killing me.  Now that it's not, I don't have an excuse, do I? 

Have a great Friday! 

Hey fellow BOTTers...we are a couple of hours closer to the weekend, woo-hoo!!

My scales ticked up a slight bit this morning, and I'm ok with that because I didn't get all my exercise and protein in yesterday. Also, I lost an inch or two total when I measured this week. Today I'm going to have as close to a BOTT day as I can, but will be abiding in some adult beverages  later tonight with friends at TGI Fridays. I'm going to be right around 1000 cals (not including the adult beverages)...but I also know if my lunch gets pushed out to late in the day I won't have my afternoon snack. If I get home early enough then I might do some miles on the bike to curb the guilt pains.

Cardio ~ day off

B ~ Optimum Nutirtion Mocha Capp protein shake
S ~ 7 Hormel Turkey Pepperoni w/ 7 cubes Co-jack cheese
