BOTT Challenge for January - Roll Call - Monday

Hey Everyone,

Were you good during all the football this weekend? Fess up, and if you did an extra 20 mins of cardio everyone

I had a pretty good day. Was very tired and just vegged. Took my husband to the airport this morning as he is going to Vegas for business. He will be gone all this week so I have "no" "nono" for not eating really well. Since he is going to be gone I am going to hit the protein shakes hard and see if I can get the scales moving.

Morning Kathy and BOTTers!

I feel great this morning. Construction started on my mom and dad's bathroom today, so I had to walk up the road to my house for my morning shower, etc. It was great to finally use my own shower, I can't wait until we move in!!

Sat and Sun was putting in the hardwoods, which I wasn't any help with, so instead I scrubbed down the bathroom, primer'ed the baseboards, put contact paper on all the shelves for the closets, and cleaned up all the light fixtures so that we were ready for the finishing touches when the time came. The floor is just amazing. I love it, its a great color, its full of character boards, and it is just beautiful. My father and husband are real troopers to muscle through and get it done in 2 days. I'm very proud! I need to think of a good first dinner that I cook for them when everything's ready.

Cardio might be out for me today, only because its raining bad and I'm exhausted from the weekend. On the bright side, I am very prepared this week to eat right and stay on track.

Food -
B - ~5 oz chix parm
S - Carrots and celery
L - 1/2 pan fried chix breast w/ hoisin sauce and a salad
S - Granny smith apple slices
D - No idea!... will aim for the protein side of it, though.

Hello 

Sounds like you got a GREAT workout this weekend    Keep it up and love checking out your blog...

Take care,
Kathy

Good Morning Everyone.

When it comes to my foods, I love Monday through Friday's because it is very predictable for me.  I am at home, I eat what I am supposed to and I don't have to think very hard on what to eat to stay in my comfort zone.  (I also don't keep many foods in my house that I shouldn't have)

Today will be :

B - Protein Shake
S - Protein Shake
L - Bean/Cabbage Soup
S - Almonds
D - Chicken

WATER

Cardio 30 minutes on Eliptical.

Wow, that bean/cabbage soup sounds great. Is it a recipe you can share?

Sure, it is a WW receipe I got from my sister a long time ago and then I improvise.  I add whatever vegetables might be in the fridge.  I happened to have cabbage left over from the cabbage cassarole I had made the week before so figured "what the heck", I was afraid the cabbage would overpower the soup, but it didn't, it was about a half of a head of cabbage chopped up, I didn't chop it very fine.  I also use a medium or hot salsa, it depends on how spicy you like your soup.  If I am having company I use mild (never know how spicy some people like their foods)   I had it in the slow cooker for about 5 hours and it was great, so here is the basic recipe. 

Bean Soup

48 oz Great Northern Beans
12 oz Cooked Cubed chicken
16 oz Salsa
1/4c 2% Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
2c Fat Free Chicken Broth
1 Large Onion
2 tsp Cumin

10 - 1 cup servings...30 pts
1 cup = 3 pts

Here is the nutritional information for 1 cup of it, the Cheese is not included in this count.
