BOTT Saturday - What's on your mind?

Hi BOTTers,

What's on my mind is the weekend!  It is sunny yet mild temps so my perfect time of year.  The flowers are out, trees are coming out of the winter hibernation.  I'm going to take a walk with my hubby and sons to walk the dog which will be fun.  No destination in mind but cruise around the neighborhood and beyond.

We are going to see a movie later on today IF we can agree.  No chick flicks or weird guy movies.  What is on my mind also is that movies are a bit of a trigger for me from my other life (pre-op life!).  The concession stand is a mindfield for me.  I will be doing some major self-talk about I am there to be with my family and see a movie - not to eat in the dark.  Kinda creepy when I put it like that, huh?!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  What's on your mind??

BOTT POWER!

Well I'm not sure what I am doing today.  I have some homework to finish, I'm so excited I only have one more week to go and I finish my MBA and I'm done with school.  this will be a great milestone for me because for the last 10 years since my surgery I have only focused on school and now for the first time I will honestly get to say I can focus on me and go to the gym and not feel like I have to go home and read, write papers, etc.  There will be no more excuses.

I'm trying to watch my calorie, protein, carb intake.  Its tough.  Wow.  I'm trying to really do the right things but so easy to do the wrong and I just mean by making the wrong choices. 

I can't wait to connect mroe with everyone here I think it will really help.  Have a great Saturday everyone. 

 I found a support group and went yesterday. I purchased a week of protein drinks and a week of protein snacks. Crunch O's.. BBQ kill the chip craving!

I am getting back on track, printing photos of where I was and goals of where I want to be. I am writing down what I eat on a pad that is stuck on the fridge.

I am blogging again!

I am posting here again!

RNY is my life... I have to remember it is part of my life forever!

I made a new RNY friend that appreciates my efforts of cooking for RNY, that is nice!

Today I am just taking care of me and my house! Cooking and planning meals for the week. Hopefully spending some time outside in the beautiful Alaska spring breakup weather this evening with neighbors and box of wine.  

Hubby is mowing the grass and I am cross stitching. Had to take a break to take my glasses for a few. Later we are having BLT's. Mine will be in a bowl...salad style. I use plain yogurt instead of mayo and skip the bread altogether. Day 4 with no Coke Zero. Ice tea is quickly becoming my best friend. Splenda and a lemon wedge makes it easy to drink.

Tonight we will watch TV and snuggle, Glad he got the whole weekend off. We thought he would have to work.

Tomorrow, grocery shopping (made a healthy list) and a picnic at the dog park. Kit will love that. She hates the leash. I love to see her run. :-) I'll be taking her favorite toy to toss. It's a beautiful weekend!!
 

What's on my mind?  The same thing that is on my mind 90% of the time.  "Why am I eating that crap and why don't I get my head out of my a** and pay attention.
I hate this - I put on my fat jeans this morning and yep - they are tight.  Well what did I expect anyway.  I have a closet full of clothes I can't wear.  The clothes I've been wearing are getting old and need to be discarded.  I absolutely refuse to give in and buy new clothes in a size 14. If I do it's all over.  I don't want it to be over.  I really liked being thin.  I felt good about myself, successful. Worthy?  I felt good health wise.  I liked shopping for clothes and I liked dressing up. This current state I'm in is really crappy.  It's 11:00 pm and I'm eating chocolate - what's up with that???
Line in the sand.  I'm done.  Tomorrow I am mounting the BOT horse! *deep sigh, couple of tears, lots of determination*  See you tomorrow.

Cathy, can you be a fugitive from justice and sneak in a bag of Orville Redenbacher's 100 calorie smartpop pospcorn?  Or do you need the discipline of NO EATING in order to not start you down the slippery slope of getting off track?

This is Sunday - what I''m thinking is I hope your weekend is all you hoped it would be
