Tuesday BOTT Cafe and Cardio

Good Morning BOTT....
Its hard to believe that today is December 1, 2009.  Twenty four days until Christmas, and thirty one days until the New Year begins.  The madness continues. 

We look back over this past year and we look at our triumphs and our failures and as WL patients we strive to stay healthy, reach goals and thank family and friends for their support in all that we have accomplished this past year.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning....we sometimes stray, but the track is always here to get back on the rail.

Hope everyone has a good BOTT day....

Good Morning Everyone!

I have missed you all over the last few months, but know I need to commit to visiting on a more regular basis for your wonderful support.  Yesterday was my first day of recommitment to myself and it was a very busy day, but I did succeed in making the "me" time as planned.  I found that I have to schedule my exercise and support time just like I would an appointment.

I have commit to 3 days of scheduled cardio to start then I will increase to 5 days later.  I did succeed in doing the water aerobics yesterday.

Food planned for today:

B - Protein shake

D- Low carb soft taco
S- greek yogurt w/SF syrup

Have a GREAT day everyone!

I'm back home after being in Indiana with family for a week.  Ate as planned except for one day (you don't even want to know what I ate!!!)  but got right back on track and came home weighing 0.4 of a pound more that when I left and well within my over-goal-weight cushion zone.  So am pleased with my maintaining.

The elevator is still not running and probably won't be until the end of NEXT week.  So my exercise will be walking and stairs

My food will be 1410 calories

Have to dash as there's a ton of work waiting for me

Good morning all,

I think I am well on my way to being back on track! i had a good day yesterday and lost a little weight. This morning I have already had a protien shake. Lunch will be chicken and dinner will be a baked potato and possible another shake. A few slices of cheese will be thrown in there somewhere too!

Also, I am going to try to bike for 20 mins today.

I am going to Florida in Jan. and want to swim and maybe go to one of the parks!

i am having some emotional stuff go on, wich is making this harder,

It sounds like you are all in a positive frame of mind today!
good weather definitely helps that!
i had to scrape frost off of my window this morning!

take care everyone and have a great BOTT day!

RWF - Since you want to swim, I think the answer will be "No" - but are you going to be in/near  the panhanle of Florida in Jan?

Hey all!

I'm going crosseyed with all this house stuff!! Today I started my closing procedures and boy, there's a lot to do. I have to get my utilities in order, my closing costs saved up, closing papers signed and stamped, insurance bought, inspectors paid... and to top it off, last night we went furnature shopping and I bought that living room at Jordans! That means I have a place to sit, a TV to watch and a WII!!!!! Woohoo! I spent a lot of money last night, but even though I feel extended, I feel good.

I am also very proud to say I made it thorugh the holiday with flying colors, and actually lost 2 more lbs doing it! I don't know how or why, but my portion size was kept down and I behaved very well. I still managed to have a great day and weekend.

I hope all of you had a good time, and we are right back to it. 24 days.... who wants to do a little challange with me? I'm aiming for another 3-5 lbs by Christmas day. Who's down?
