Good morning Tess and BOTTers.
I am in for the challenge, but i will post weekly.

eats:
My diet is pretty much the same every day - low carbs, low sugar, 6-7 meals a day, mostly proteins and veggies. Some nuts.

exercise:
I want to start more scheduled and structure exercise.

Weight: 
I am pretty much OK where I am but if I lose up to 10 lbs - that will be fine too.  

The main goal: 
is to be Fit, Happy and Healthy.  

To me that means that I need to stay away from sugar and starches (and it is not as easy as it sounds)
I need to stay away from wine, diet soft drinks, and things like that. 
Make sure I take my vitamins and minerals.

When I stay away from carbs is is easier not to have them, but it is not easy.  Every day is a struggle. Evenings are the worst, when I really would like to have some fruits or some wine. 


today eats and cardio:

coffee + almond milk
protein shake (egg white proteins + almond milk)
peanuts
beef roast + pickle
beef roast
1/2 salmon burger with veggies
LNS: cheese + sausage.

exercise: walk - 4 miles.

 Good Morning Hala:

Glad to see you on board for a weekly check in.  I may be at my maintenance weight but I still think I can take 10 lbs. off.  I may be whistling Dixie but I going to give it my best shot.  Have a great week.

I know... the magic weight...

On my vacation trip I spent some time watching people.  I saw some really thin and very unattractive people and some more "round" ( still average - fit - size 10-16)  very attractive people.  

That made me think and realized what I really want.  And I want to be happy - and active. That also may mean that I may need to stay at my current weight and size. 

The "very thin" people I saw - not counting teenagers - the thinner the person - the more unhealthy they looked.  Fragile, unhappy.  While more "robust" people look more in charge and happy, chubby checks, bubbly personality. 
At my current weight and size - I can eat as much as I want (the good for me foods)  and not worry about calories (when I stay away from carbs).  I have good life, energy, good sex life.

Sometimes when we try to strive for the number on the scale - we forget what is that we are really after. (I know I do).

Good evening BOTTS:

Ok, was out of control again today...I hit the vending machine 4 times today within hours: Twizzers, Cheese Nips, bag of Skittles, bag of Lay Potato Chips.  I also had a 90 calc Brownie on the subway home and just downed a Ice Cream Sandwich.

This was all out side of my actually food!
PreBreakfast: Ice Coffee with Med's
Breakfast: Protein Smoothie with Miralax added in
Snack: Coffee 1 cup
Lunch:  Chicken Vesuvio (which I wasn't impressed with)
Snack:  Twizzers, Cheese Nips, bag of Skittles, bag of Lay Potato Chips
Snck again:  90 calc Brownie, Ice Cream Sandwich
Dinner: Nothing for now...feeling a little sick.

I know it's all stress eattig, I was just assigned a employee to manage, with all of my othr work.  And it all has to be within the time I am in the regular time/no more overtime is allowed.  Plus school starte for me today!!

So, to keep things honest I put on weight over the weekend so this evening right now I start my 90 day back on track.

Weighing in this evening at 5:45pm I am 207.3 pounds. 
Goal is to get to 180 to 175 (27.3/32 pounds to lose).

Tomorrow is a new day!!!!!
