1/9/10 - BOTT Cardio and Cafe

Good morning friends...

HOpe everyone had a good week - Sorry to say that mine ended on a bad note - and I'm a little frustrated with myself for jumping on food to get comfort when I'm stressed.  That's going to be the thing that I focus and work on the most in the next few weeks, because I know it's my biggest hurdle to get past.

Anyway - my plan for the day...

B - Kay's Natural Cereal and Yogurt
S - Apple
L - Chicken Strips and Cucumber slices
S - Protein Shake
D - We're heading out to dinner with friends - my plan is getting a burger patty with sauteed mushrooms - no roll and a side salad.
S - Protein Shake (if I want anything else)

Cardio - Housework and chasing my niece

I know what you mean about responding to stress with food.  The story of my life, and though this has been life changing surgery and a new lifestyle for me, old habits do rear their ugly heads sometimes...  Keep at it -- you are on the right track!

Today:

B:  1/4 of a small ham and cheese omelet, piece of toast, 1/4 c. oatmeal (breakfast with hubby -- I am so stuffed!)
S:  No room
L:  Salad
S:  Protein Shake
D:  Going out to a new restaurant with friends -- will keep it light and focused on protein
S:  Protein Hot Chocolate

Have a wonderful day, all!

I haven't done too great today, picking on things that I shouldn't have done.  But did chose earl grey tea instead of latte and have bought myself a skipping rope!!!  It's got a gadget on it to count the skips, a timer and a thingy that tells you how many calories used up.  Now I'm not one to believe these calorie counters, but at least it will add to the challenge to beat my total each time and hopefully encourage me to do a bit more each time.

Hi Kellie,

We have good days and bad days, but I saw your posts and you did great.  As  you said, make some notes of what was going on when this happen and try and have a back up plan.  Next time my DH brings home a Pizza I don't want to eat, I am going to remove myself from the situation and if I have to have something in my mouth then I am going to fix a good snack...

We just got Netflix streaming as it's cold here and who wants to go out.  They have tons of videos and I tried the Self Magazine, Dance Your Fat Off Video.  It was a blast, but thank God no one was looking.  I bet I looked funny, but what the heck, I was having fun and burning fat BABY 

Take care,
Kathy
