1/4/10 - Monday - BOTT Cardio and Cafe`

Welcome to the first full week of the year!  Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend, and are now ready and eager to face whatever the week has to bring!  I know for me, this week is going to be all about applying the Beck lessons that I put into place last week, and seeing just how strong of a set of habits I've built to help me along the way. 

What things have you put into place to help you be successful?

S - Cottage cheese with SF apricot jam
L - 4oz steamed shrimp, baby carrots and grape tomatoes
S - Triscuit and Laughing Cow Cheese
D - 4oz steamed shrimp, brown rice, steamed edamame
S - Protein Shake

Next gym day is scheduled for Tuesday!

Have an amazing Monday folks! 

Good morning!
Finally...  Everyone goes back to work, school, etc.  Everything goes back to normal, sorta.  I'll be busy running back and forth to my daughter's house for the next few weeks, she's 9 months pregnant and developed pre-eclampsia.  She's due in three weeks, hopefully she can hold on as long as possible.  I'll be trying to incorporate as much of a "workout" as possible.  My food plan:
Breakfast - fage w/h.f. granola
Snack - click
Lunch - ricotta cheese
Snack - pepperoni chips
Dinner - stuffed italian chicken w/veggies
Snack - fage w/s.f. caramel
Hope that everyone has a great day!

It is a coffee flavored protein pwoder.  Here is a link to their site.

It's Great!!!  Great coffee/mocha flavored protein drink.  It really keeps me going through out the day!

Today will be the test.  Back to work... trying to avoid all the food folks bring in and the candy machines.  I've been perfect for 3 days and the scale has rewarded me 6 lbs down.  Yes, it's all water I know. But it feels like the honeymoon phase when I first started this journey.  I'm going to do a lot of self-talk in hopes I can stay on the right track even when the scale isn't moving.  Speaking of moving, I've got to get my body moving.  It's been soooo cold in St. Louis, I haven't made it to the Y to exercise.  I normally walk the track or do an hour in the pool. I need to wrap up tight and just do it.  I'll get there; for now... I've got to fight the demons in my head that want to graze and just eat whatever!
So here's the mealplan for today:

Breakfast:  Tilapia/Applescauce
Lunch:  Deli meats and celery
Dinner:  Fuji apple cicken salad (I'm hooked on this stuff)
Snack:  Apple

Hugs to all!

Jewel,

That chicken salad sounds yummy - is it a HungryGirl recipe? 

Have a STELLAR Monday!

No it's a Panera Bread Restarant salad.  It's really good.... with red onions, pecans, dried apples, tomatoes, romaine lettuce and a light vingarette dressing.  YUMMY!  What's "HungryGirl"?  Is there a website.

Happy Monday all you BOTTER's !

Hello BOTT,
Welcome to the New Year and the New Challenge of getting to goal in 2010!  I am looking forward to getting back on track and finally getting myself together.  I have been unbelievably hungry, I don't know where this urge to put every thing in my mouth has come from. If it doesn't move...I snatch it up.  I will be trying to add more complex proteins to my menu within the next few days...maybe they will help with these hunger episodes I'm experiencing.
