Monday, May 21st, Cardio & Cafe

I am alive Botts:

I have been very tired and will give you a full report soon.  Surgery went well but I did stay overnite in hospital.  They took off 4.7 lbs. of skin and I am walking bent over right now but I am during okay.  Keep up the cafe and cardio and I will be back soon.

Yeay Tess.... Get well soon...

Nice day today. But ISO audit tomorrow so I am so stressed - it is not funny. 
My cat is adorable, as always.  I am not sure whet time I will be in tonight so I locked the cat door..she will be stuck today.  I know she will be safe. 
Plan to start exercise tomorrow... after the audit.
Eats today:
Coffee + almond milk
protein muffins, almonds
more muffins
pork loin with cucumber
meat loaf, veggies
protein cookies
quest bar (maybe- there is something funny about them - I dumped on one yesterday and then crushed... as if they had lots of sugar.)
sunflower seeds
more pork and veggies.

Good luck with your audit!

 I'm glad your doing well Tess, 4.7 pounds wow! that almost gets you to your lower goal doesn't it? That's funny because I sometimes wonder how many pounds of skin I would have if I got it removed, which I hope to do soon.

YAY!! Tess, glad you posted. Hope you are feeling better soon, but I bet you are looking amazing!!

Today Im back on track. I didnt do much damage with my 'Im in maintenance mode' declaration. Just 2 lbs, but that could be water. DH has been kinda off track too, so we both agreed to get back to it today. Especially since we are having our daughter's graduation party this weekend. Im going to want to eat and relax.

Eats for today:

XL coffee w/ cream
Quest Bar
Pure protein bar (hungry today)
Lean cuisine pizza. on a tight budget today, so eating what we have

Baked talapia and couscous

Hey Tess, good to hear from you. 

I remember when they took off my apron in 2007 as the doctor called it I was bent over for about a good week or two and walking very, very slow.  To the point when I was able to get out of my apartment 2 weeks later a old lady with a walker out walked me  :-) 

So, BOTTS.  I am back on track today.  I worked out this evening with Tae Bo PT24/7 (Basic Boxing).  And my eats have been the following:

Pre-Breakfast:  ½ cup of Hi Lo Cereal with 1/8 cup of Almond Milk

Breakfast: Coffee Protein Shake with SF White Chocolate Pudding

Snack:  Balance Protein Bar

Lunch: Salad with serving of Perdue Short Cut Grilled Chicken

Snack: 90 calc. Fiber One Brownie

Dinner:  5oz Seared Sirloin Steak with Veggies

Snack:  Maybe a Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake with a ½ cup of Berries

I really need to start contribuating to this thread so I can learn to get BOT.

Today I had a protein shake for breakfast. it's Matrix Orange cream 110 calories
Lunch chicken in a light sour cream sauce
snack 10 almonds
dinner chicken with lemon and salad with light ranch
snack unknown so far this evening some time.
