Good Morning all.

It was a rough weekend, I had so much going on I barely had time to look in on what was going on here but tried.  I didn't take the time to post but did fairly ok.  For some reason even though I have to get back to work on Monday, I also get back to being sure I'm on track with the program on Mondays also, I feel almost relief to know that I am home most of the week and am able to take time to post my plan here and follow it.  The weekend doesn't always have a plan when we are so busy but I do pretty well at picking good things to eat.  So the plan for today is:

B - Protein Drink
S - 2 Boiled Eggs
L - Peanut butter on Wheat crackers
s - Protein Drink
D - Steak & Salad


Lots of water
Cardio - 30 minutes on Elliptical

Hello BOTT Family,
Hi Kellie...it's so good to see you back on the board. I want you to know that you were missed.  I can also relate to being depressed...especially with my work being out-sourced, and my job on the line.  When I'm depressed I fall of track and if it doesn't move..."I eat it."  When that happens I fall even deeper into my stupor because I've added unwanted calories and the problem is still there.

This site is called "Back On Track Together" but I think its more than getting back on track its also about support.  Although we have never met each other personally this board is open to anything we need to share.  Coming here we find support, friendship, love, spiritual healing, guidance, joy and laughter.  Next time we're down and depressed..if you don't feel comfortable sharing with the group reach out...their is always someone willing to listen and offer a solution or a word of inspiration.

My plan for today...

Cardio - Treadmill 45 mins
                Dance & Jam 30 mins

Hi Kelly,

WELCOME BACK    We have missed your wonderful spirit    Don't leave us again    We are here for you and if you want you know you can PM any of us anytime of you need to talk 

This is thread is our February Challenge thread.  The challenge?  To come here daily and be accountable for food/water/exercise.  What ever we need.

My February challenge to my self is try and get all my vitamins in.  Tough one for me, and put an entire week together of clean eating.  I have only tripped up once here and there, but it's time to put it together.  Keep up with the not drinking with meal**** the gym and keep my eye on the prize.  I was at my lowest weight when I went to get my Drivers L renewed.  My Birthday is in June and my long term goal (taking it month by month) is to be able to say that is whey I weight on my birthday.

Food for today:

Breakfast - oatmeal with protein
Snack - blueberries
Lunch - beef roll ups
Snack - protein drink
Dinner - fish/steak, salad and baked sweet potato
Snack - TBD

LET'S ROCK THIS MONTH

	Leaning Lateral Raise		12
	Upright Row		12
	Bent - Over Lateral Raise		12

Kathy

Kathy - I've shared before my Driver's License story - once before when I lost 100 pounds (and regained it) my DL renewal was due and I proudly listed my 110 lb weight.  Well, when the renewal came around again I had gained probably 75 pounds back by that time - the clerk politely asked me if that was still my weight - and, just as politely, I liked through my teeth and replied, "Yes"

And you know what, I'm pretty sure I'd do the very same thing again - but the difference is I AM MAINTAINING so won't have to lie!  That feels sooooooooooo good!

Welcome back!  As the others have said, you have been missed.  Hang in there...you are doing all of the right things in getting someone to help you through the rough patches, and planning your days out.  Like you, flying by the seat of my pants is not something that works well for me.  I have to commit to the day by planning it out and sticking with it. 

Today:

Exercise: 

Treadmill (had big plans for the gym, but when I pulled up there, there was a sign on the door that they are closed today due to a power outage!  Ugh!)

Food:

B:  Muscle Milk Light
L:  Soup and salad
S:  Protein shake
D:  Not sure, but probably some fish and vegetables
S:  Protein shake or protein pudding

Have a great day, and know we are all here to support each other!  :)

Food:
B - steel cut oats(with a small amt of diced apple, raisins, flax seed, cinnamon)
S - coffee with Matrix Choco Protein Powder
