Wednesday Cafe & Cardio

Good morning BOTTers!
Today's the big day, I get my permanent eyebrows!  I felt like a kid yesterday.  As I was putting on my make-up, I said to myself, "this is the last I'm drawing on these eyebrows".   No cardio for me today.  My food plan:
Breakfast - 1/2 c. steel cut oatmeal
Snack - protein drink
Lunch - ham
Snack - veggies w/fage dip
Dinner - chicken w/veggies
Snack - fage w/s.f. caramel
Have a great day!
Deb

Good Morning Everyone!

Deb, I am excited for you and your new eyebrows. 

Today is a new day and I have decided to implement the positive affirmations that Happy had posted yesterday.  It is high time for me to stop the "Negative Nellie" attitude and stomp out the "Stinking Thinking" going on in my head.

I have a business meeting in Durham today, so I am up and ready to travel.  I just hope that the winter weather that is predicted decides to wait until I return to Fayetteville before it shows up.  I dread the ride through the Raleigh area during morning rush hour, but welcome the chance to work outside of the office for at least most of the day.

I thought if I got a chance I would sneak a trip into the World Market before I returned home this afternoon.  I love just exploring in that store, even if I don't buy a thing.

There will be no structured cardio today.  And my food plan is not very clear since I will have meals provided.  I am determined to be BOTT compliant and will have a great opportunity to get in all my water.

I wish everyone a Wonderful Wednesday !

I'm excited with you, Deb.  Will it hurt?  (I'm a devout coward LOL)

Well, BOTTers I think I have this crazy weather figured out.  We are all a victim of Groundhog Revenge.  Some of us dared doubt the granddaddy of all groundhogs - that one in PA that I can't even come close to spelling his town.  He told us there was going to be 6 more weeks of winter.  But, no, some of us chose to believe that johnny-come-lately groundhog in Atlanta, Gen. Beauregard, who said we'd have an early spring.  So much, for the Gen. who has turned out to be a wretched prognosticator.   Let's be sure we NEVER make that mistake again and bring down the wrath of P. Phil on our heads!!!  I hope we've learned our lesson. 

OK, now that I have the essentials out of the way, here's my C & C post.  Happily, today was a down day on the scales - more down that yesterday's up.  So, I am now barely into my over-goal cushion zone.  I'm getting there!!!!!

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day, only two more work days this week!  Life is pretty quiet around my house this week. That's okay, I will happily take quiet and boring over drama every day of the week.  Deb, I hope all goes well with your eyebrows and that you love the results.

Hi, All:

Deb -- congrats on the permanent eyebrows!  My SIL had eyeliner and lipliner done, and love it!  You'll have to let us know what you think.

I started out the day at the gym, got home and after getting ready, headed to the car dealer to get recall work done on my husband's car.  I was amazed at how easy and quick it was -- hats off to them!  :)  Lunch, groceries, then came home to work on taxes for my daughter and her roommate -- then begin organizing ours for the CPA.  It's the time of the year again!

Food:

B:  Protein bar
L:  Soup and 1/2 mixed cheese quesadilla
S:  Protein shake
D:  Blackberries and Greek yogurt

Have a great day!  :)
