BOTT Challenge for January - Roll Call - Monday

I am back home and working today, love being somewhere that I can do as scheduled.  I still have to record my food for friday and Saturday but it was good.  I made safe choices and I didn't have my regular cardio scheduled but our room was on the fourth floor and the elevator didn't work really well so I made up for missing cardio by going up to our room several times each day, that was a workout in itself...LOL.

Oops, forgot the totals part, oh well, it was in the right range for me !

I can't wait for another week of staying on track, I love this challenge also, it keeps me going. 

I also went to see the PS on Friday and I have a date for TT and Brachio - FEB 4th, so this will keep me motivated, I want to be sure I am in the best health for this !    

 

Hi Sally,

What a great job staying on track for the weekend.  If your surgeon has not told you so, eat as much protein as you can before surgery.  It really helps with healing.  I started a weight lifting workout and ate 250 - 300 grams of protein a day for 6 months prior to 3 major surgeries and they went perfect!!!

Take care,

Kathy

Wow, that much protein!  I guess I will add a couple more protein drinks to my day, I am being dilligent about my vitamins and stuff to be sure I am in as good a spot as possible and I have my yearly bloodwork done tomorrow so will find out if I am on track with that, I am expecting it to be fine.  Thanks for the information.

Hi Kathy and Botters,
I went to workout on this very cold morning.  I'm really enjoying feeling so good with my strict food count.  My food:

Hi Deb,

You and I live in the same part of the world and baby it was cold outside this morning.  Kudos to you for getting up so early and braving the weather for your workout.                                                                                                

Keep up the great job you are doing   

Take care,
Kathy

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I had a very snacky weekend.  I tried to make good choices, but on a few attempts I lost.  The food in question has left my home!  If it becomes a problem it is out from now on.  I will not weigh until Friday, so I have 4 days to make everything count for the good.

I did actually make the 30 minutes plus on my gazelle this morning.  Last weeks log show if I did not do it before work, it did not get done that day.  So I will make an effort to get it in each workday morning before work.

My plan for today is as follows:

B: Click/choc. protein/soy milk/PB2 shake
S: 2 whole deviled eggs, cantelope
L: egg drop/wonton soup mix
S: EAS protein drink
D: crockpot lasagna (minus the noodles for me)
S: EAS protein drink

my totals (with noodles in lasagna) are:

Calories     1556
Carbs              99
Fats                 54
Protein          139

Have a GREAT Monday everyone!

Hi Goody,

We all get in those moods where we want to snack, snack, snack.  Try having sugar free gum on hand to chew when you are cooking and get that snacky feeling.

Take care,
Kathy

Hi everybody.

It's so encouraging to read everyone's posts and see that they are doing well.

I'm having a bit of a carby day so far.  This is one of 2 days that I work all day, so it's a bit more diffcult to plan my meals.  I'm also finding it difficult to fit in 6 meals/snacks a day on 1200 calories.  I seem to be averaging about 1350, which is fine if I lose weight, but we'll see, I guess.

I will post my summary later this evening.  I hope everyone continues to have a great day.

Hi Wendey

Don't work too hard ok?  See if increasing your complex carbs in place of white carbs help. 

You are doing GREAT 

Take care,
Kathy

Just so you know I lost 14lbs this week, I lost the 10 I gained plus 4 more.
