BOTT Challenge for January - Roll Call

Hey Everyone

I was buried yesterday at work and it was a very busy day

I read each and every post and wanted to say, WAY TO GO to everyone that posted and has jumped on the BOTT band wagon. Just a small caution

those that have lost a lot of weight this first week remember it may slow down and or stop because of the large lost you have had already. So keep in mind this is a month challenge and if you don't lose another pound (which I am sure you will) you have already lost a lot for the month

I just don't want you to lose what you have started by getting depressed if the weight loss stops for a few days or week

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

Hi there. I'll bet the fitness video was lots of fun---lol. We have an exercise on demand channel . My fiance works for the cable company, so our cable is free. I don't know why it didn't occur to me until reading your post that I could use that for exercise. Doh!

I'm down another 2 lbs today and doing well. This nasty virus is slowly getting better. I'm hoping it doesn't settle in my chest and just goes away completely in the next couple of days.

We are so broke this month. I'm buying only the bare minimum of groceries to empty out the freezer and pantry for meals this week. If everything goes right, I should only spend about $20 in groceries for meals for the family. I have lots of healthy foods stashed away for my meals for the week, too.

I'm working on improving my attitude. I've been so negative lately and I really need to work to change that.

Positive thought for the day: Losing a few pounds will make my clothes fit me well, again---then I won't need to spend money to buy more clothes!

Didn't do too well for a while with food choices, but pulle dit back in and had fish for dinner and haven't snacked since. It feels good to be able to say no, even if it is a bit late.

Plus bought myself a skipping rope and managed 2 minutes...*gasp* didn't realise it would take so much out of me!!!

Hi All,

Hope all are having a wonderful Saturday. I'm sewing again, still got a couple of skirts left to put together after purchasing a new sewing machine.

Vitamins taken, working on water and a few minutes of exercise is planned.
This is what's in my pouch, what's n yours?

Not really having a great BOTT day . . . some random "picking" on totally unnecessary food . . . grazing-style. Gonna keep my pesky hands busy this evening w/ the cross-stitch I'm getting close to finishing for my soon-to-be new granddaughter (due date = next Thurs)!

B--got up so late I didn't have one--bad, I know--just started drinking liquids
L--2 eggs, shredded cheese, toast
S--SB protein bar
D--very lean shredded pork w/ just a little bbq sauce, 1/2 bun.

I've lost battles today w/ pretzels & M & M's. The bag is now empty. Also had 2 handfuls of pot chips--ridiculous--they're not usually a biggie w/ me.

I also didn't make it to the gym and don't plan on going out any more tonight.

Overall, not the worst day, but NOT GOOD!!!!

Always,
Jo
