Saturday - BOTT Check in, Cafe & Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

As most of you know, BOTT is so much more than what I eat and how much I exercise. It is about my life, my habits and what is going with me inside and out. That's why I added "Check in" to our normal C&C. So, add what's up with you. I've just went through a huge wave of being overwhelmed in every aspect of my life. I'm going to be more aware. Not coincidentally when I'm overwhelmed or feel out of control it seeps into my life in so many ways including being on track.

Cathy

This Saturday Morn I am attending a special day convention  so I'll be sitting most of the day.  We take our lunch but usually eat dinner out.  There will be little to no exercise. 

Breakfast - cup steel cut oats
Lunch - 1/2 spinach wrap, pepperoni, 2 pcs cheese and 2 boiled eggs
Dinner - ?  shooting for proteins

Looking forward to staying on track this weekend.  Take care,  Z

Working overnight Friday so most of Saturday will be spent sleeping (hopefully). Food will consist of Chilli for dinner (which is actually breakfast), cereal and 2 boiled eggs for lunch and a bagel at church Sunday.

Have a GREAT weekend.

Wayne - So glad you are back with us.  Please post often and share your journey with us

I/m fighting (and iwinning the battle I'm happy to say) my thinking monster that says ANY gain is a terrible flaw in my character and renders me a total failure.    Thanksfullly, I recognize this as a monster and not reality so that gives me strengthwith diligent effort,  to send it on its way 

My gain - from near the bottom of my below-goal-weight zone to 1 pound into my above-goal-weight zine.  Ugh - talk about thinking mosters

Am dashing off to walk 2 miles in the park with a friend so will just take the time to say my caloric intake will be 1450 and I have no choice to climb at least six flights of stairs if I want to get back up
to my condo after walking.  Kind of plan to climb them twice - but that is not an absolute promise for today.

Wishing you all a wonder fall BOTT weekend.
