Monday BOTT and Cardio Cafe`

Good morning everyone!

I THINK I am officially BACK now :)  Between three weeks of dealing with kidney stones and the followup surgery, and a trip to Wyoming, it's time to climb back on the wagon and start doing the things I know I'm supposed to do!  (Oh, and making SURE I drink enough water!) 

B - Yogurt
S - Omlette
L - 2oz chicken breast, 1oz cheese, crispbreads, mustard
S - Pudding cup
D - 4oz roasted pork, cauliflower
S - Protein Shake

Cardio - Treadmill Time

How's everyone else been these past few weeks?  Believe it or not, I've MISSED you guys! 

Kellie - Glad you're back (officially or any way LOL)   we've missed you too!

This morning when I jumped on the scales they told me I only have .2 of a pound to go to reach my goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Considering I have been eating out everyday with friends since last Friday I think managing to lose at the same time is spectacular   Still have 5 eating out days to go.  Ugh!!!! but I WILL make good choices.  Tonight we're planning to eat at Ruby Tuesdays and I know what I want - bison burger (eat only the meat) and their mashed cauliflower.  Both are treats to me.   Thanks to BOTT POWER!

Exercise is some walking and 18 flights of stairs.

Here's to a fine BOTT day for us - one and all

Congrats HLB. 

Roasted cauliflower is great too.  Break up the cauliflower on a cookie sheet, sprinkle w a little olive oil and parmesan cheese then pop in the oven until slightly brown.  Um Um Good.

this recipe kicks butt!!

Oh, BTW...this uses lowfat cream cheese...although it doesn't specifically say.

Thanks so much!  I am trying to learn to like brussel sprouts - well, maybe "like" is too strong a word - try tolerate LOL

mmm I love love LOVE brussels sprouts. They are so nummy with just a bit of cider vinegar on em. But then, I'm also a huge cabbage fan, so that may help matters.

I think the reason I want to like them is because they look like baby cabbages - it takes so little to give me joy   I just wish they tasted more like cabbage - but I guess if they tasted like cabbage, they would be cabbage.  .  (I haven't figured out a way to nuke them though )
