Wednesday - BOTT Cardio and Café

Morning BOTTers!

Its finally starting to 'warm up' here, that is, get above freezing. I'm sick and tired of the scale not moving so I'm going to suck it up and face the cold. I NEED to move. I am getting frustrated and its providing me some motivations.

Instead of painting last night we instead went to buy a new microwave, kitchen faucet and light fixtures. Wanna see?

My ceiling fan http://www.homedepot.com/Lighting-Fans-Ceiling-Fans-Accessor ies/Hunter/h_d1/N-5yc1vZaqycZ5z65eZra/R-100670721/h_d2/Produ ctDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 (note the pretty etching on the base and globe)

Kitchen faucet, but its in brushed nickle, not chrome http://www.homedepot.com/Kitchen-Faucets-Double-Handle/Pegas us/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xh3Zarg1Z14v/R-100407078/h_d2/ProductDispla y?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Microwave (over the range, woo!) http://www.bernies.com/catalog/kitchen_appliances/microwaves /846278_ge_black_1_7_cu_ft_over-the-range_microwave_oven.htm l

Anyhoo... here's what we're looking at today

Cardio - Walk, darnit, walk!

Food
B - egg beaters/cheese/lite wheat toast sammich
S - Carrots
L - Shredded beef and baked corn chips
S - Cheese sticks, oatmeal if needed
D - Mac and meatballs

I love your choices.  I need to change all my appliances someday, two years ago we added backsplash to my kitchen of the granite stones and it changes my kitchen to the point where my white appliances stick out like a sore thumb.  I want to change them to a brushed stainless steel, luckily my stove is old and my microwave is getting bad so it should happen in the next year or so, don't like to buy them just to change them.  The only item that is still in good shape is the Refrigerator and that can become the one we put in the garage for overflow.  Need to win the lottery first   LOL.

Ok, today:

B - 2 boiled eggs
S - protein drink
L - Laughing cow cheese and whole wheat crackers
S - Protein Drink
D - Not sure yet, probably steak
S - protein drink

Cardio - Elliptical (found that the time goes faster if my daughter happens to call while I am on it and I carry on a conversation with her while doing it, yes I huff and puff but she understands..)

I love all you choices.  They will all look so nice with the paint colors you chose.

Today is a very stress filled day here at work so I am taking my food as I think I can handle it.  I do not want Ms. Picky Pouch to show her ugly head again.  She and I do not do well with stress or emotions.  As a result of all the drama here at the office, I only got about 2 hours sleep last night.

So fat today I have:

26 minutes on the gazelle
2 cups of black coffee
1 cup of coffee w/creamer
muscle milk and oats
1.5 deviled eggs, strawberries, fiber crackers and protein cookies

If I continue to do well with my choices, I will have a protein shake for my afternoon snack
and dinner is up in the air at this time.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Hump day!
