1/7/10 - BOTT Cardio and Cafe` (Thursday)

Two more days in the week, and I will be darn glad when this one is over! (It's got a whole lot of Mondays in it!)

Bad day for me on Wednesday - what started out as a planned day became a disaster when I started eating mindlessly.  Not something I'm proud of - but tomorrow I'm climbing back on the BOTT Horse and strapping myself in.  I didn't do TOO badly - but one bagel is one bagel too many!

My plan for Thursday -

B - Scrambled Eggs
S - Protein Shake
L - Chicken Strips and Veggies
S - Apple
D - Sausage and Peppers
S - Click Frappe

And LOTS of water!

Cardio - Gym time - snow or no snow! 

I know the feeling about too many Monday's....don't beat yourself up about the bagel, just savor the moment and put it your memory bank.  I know how it is when you're on a mission with a GOAL!

Cardio:
Weight training - 45 minutes
Treadmill - 45 minutes

Food:

EM -  EAS Chocolate Protein Shake
B -     Mocha Muscle Milk Light
S -     EAS Chocolate Protein Shake
L -     Perdue Short Cuts Turkey Breast w/ tossed salad w/ LF Ital Dressing
D -    Spinach Omelet w/ Pepper Jack Cheese
S -     Chocolate Protein Pudding w/ Whipped Cream

Good Morning Everyone! 

Today is a new day.  Yesterday is behind us and the weekend is just ahead.  Yeah!

Ms. Picky actually accepted a protein bar last night so I will progress to soft food today and see if she is acceptable.

My plan for today starts with 30 minutes on the Gazelle-

PreB: cup of black coffee
B: click/chocolite/soy milk shake
S: deviled egg  *.5 eggbeaters and .25 cheddar cheese
L: deviled egg, string cheese, 2 jello cups  *Protein bar
S: muscle milk light and 2 jello cups (moved from lunch)
D: meatloaf (if Ms. Picky will allow)
S: click/chocolite hot chocolate

water, water, water, water and more water.

Have a GREAT day!

*edited because I got to work without my deviled eggs!  Another coworker had the eggbeaters and I always keep cheese in the office fridge.

Not quite as sharp today as yesterday.  Forgot to weigh, forgot to put my food plan in my back pack (fortunately I can print it off at work as well as at home) forgot to put my crispbreads for lunch in my back pack, forgot to get my office key out of the car - but didn't get far before I remembered and went back to get it.  All in all, a lot of red flags that I have to be super vigilant today.  Have a killer patient load scheduled - will they all show up - that's a good question but I have to be ready to see them if they do.  Wi**** was Friday, but it isn't and I will make it through the day - maybe not with style and grace, but I will make it!

Good Morning, I also didn't follow my plan yesterday but my choices weren't that bad (in my opinion.LOL) they just weren't what was planned.

So here is the plan for today:

B - Protein Drink
s - Boiled Egg
L - Protein Drink
S - Almonds
D - ?  Probably Chicken, going out.

Lots of Water!


Stay warm & safe !

Good morning!
I just noticed that I've been BOTTing for a year now.  This is soooo much better than having a revision, like I thought that I would need to do to get back on track.  We're suppose to get 12 inches of snow today, it's pretty but not too go to walk in.  I'll be doing another video for exercise.  My food plan:
Breakfast - 1/2 c. Fage w/granola
Snack - almonds
Lunch - chicken and cheese roll
Snack - 1/2 c. ricotta cheese
Dinner - meatloaf w/veggies
Snack - 1/2 c. Fage w/s.f. caramel
Hope that everyone has a great day!

Exercise was on my treadmill 3 miles

Morning everyone.

Well I took Kathy's advice and ate before work today. I'm anxious about it only because I feel I'll be hungry all day if I eat so early. We'll see how it goes. So far so good. I ate at 8:30, so I'll wait until at least 11:30 before my snack, 2:30 for lunch, but now it gets tricky, because that'd mean 5:30 for my snack, but may family eats dinner at 7-ish. I guess we'll see how it goes. I can say my breakfast was tastey (never had that before) and filling. I didn't even fini****

Here's a question. If you eat something and account for it on your fitday.com... but you don't eat the whole portion, do you cut back the portion on your fitday, or do you account for the whole portion and still limit your daily calories as normal? I figure if you account for the whole portion, you are actually tricking yourself into eating less calories.

Cardio - Plastering

Food -
B - Weight Control quaker oatmeal with 1 scoop protein
S - Carrots and celery
L - **Changed to .5 cup sauted spinach and 4 oz chicken breast with swiss on it
S - Laughing cow cheese and wheat thins
D - Hot dogs and beans

Good Morning! Sionnaingeal, I usually adjust my portion size when I am logging my food to match what I ate. Yesterday morning I logged a turkey burger for dinner, but I only ate 1/4 of the burger so I changed my portion size to .25.

Colder that all get out here today, wind chill of 40 below when I was driving to work and then got here and no power or heat for the first hour. It is still freezing, but hopefully will warm up by noon.

Cardio: Wii Fit Plus
Food:

B-Homemade sausage mcmuffin
S-Turkey cheese rollups
L-Taco
S-Protein hot chocolate
D-Steak & potato skillet, salad

Well, back to thinking warm thoughts and sun-drenched beaches, have a great day!

Did well all day yest until evening.  Then lost a battle w/ peanut butter & pretzels, followed by 2 large handfuls of M & M's.    I also didn't get to the gym. 

Today, however, is looking better.  I'm just getting ready to go to the gym!

Will continue to battle the evening munchies, but this is always going to be an issue for me.  I have no memory of how I survived that issue back in '04-'05 when I was in losing mode!

Here's my plan for today:

B--EAS pro drink
L--ham cubes mixed w/ shr cheese, 1 sl crumbed bacon, chopped mushrooms (melted  on 1 slice toasted whole wheat bread
S--1/2 banana dipped in sf pudding cup, then dipped in choc prot powder
D--baked chicken, sweet pot
S--probably the other 1/2 banana & prot bar
