"Turning my disappointments into determination!"

Hey all!

Back in action and loving every second of it. I feel alert and alive and the sun is shining! I had a great weekend, and now with internet, laptop and parents moved OUT, I'm free to get BOTTing and finally LOSE THIS WEIGHT. And man do I need it. I've started hitting the gym in the mornings again, since they just opened a new Planet Fitness in the next town over. I find it much harder to make an excuse when the gym isn't so out of the way for me anymore. Not to mention there's a starbucks in the same plaza.   Sure its a strange bit of motivation, but there it is.

I also have found my freedom from food. Amazing, as it is, I actually didn't eat when hunger struck instantly. I had the opprotunity to do it, and said "no. Its not an emergency and I need to get what I'm doing right now done.".... So I put off eating. An hour. Two hours. Three hours. By hour 4, I was getting a bit light headed, so I ate. Then turns out I ate too much and got a hideous stomach ache. Since then, I've not felt hungry, I have no desire for food. I hope it sticks for a little while, long enough to implement some good habits.

Cardio - Gym, legs and core and stretching

Food -
B - 1/2 egg and cheese on wheat toast
S - Other half
L - Chicken, lentil and roasted garlic and onion soup
S - Chicken breast
D - Turkey tacos on Joseph's flax wraps

Sion - so glad you are back

Don't get so anti-food you go to the opposite extreme and don't eat enogh.  there's that old "balance" thing again.

Sounds as though you are off and running  in the right direction now.!!!!!

Have a great BOTT day

Good morning!

I got back into town last night from a trip to the midwest.  I am happy to say that I was able to stay on track, even when the options weren't there...managed portions, putting protein first, fluids and lots of walking.  Ran into problems when eating chicken two different times:  it got stuck.  Ugh.  But, it resolved itself over time, and I am going to stay away from chicken for awhile unless it is in a soup or something so I can be sure it is really, really moist.

Today:

Exercise:  Day off

Food:

B:  Protein shake
L:  Soup and salad
S:  Protein shake
D:  Greek yogurt
S:  Protein pudding pie

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!  :)

WOW, Cindy - I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I find chicken often gives me a hard time - it doesn't seem to be how moist it is but I tend to take too big of a bite - I have to take tiny tiny bites of chicken, but since I love it, I keep tryiing to eat it right.  Sure does hurt when I don't though  One would think I would learn after a time or two - well, all I can say is I must be a very very slow learner

Again, you are awesome. 

Happy, you are so sweet!  Oh yes, I would have thought I would know not to eat the chicken after that happens...but after a little while, the memories aren't quite as distinct, and I try again.  Ah well, after this week, I will remember for a little while, anyway!

I hope your day is going well!  :)
