Happy New Year 2013! Daily Blog, Tuesday, January 1st.

Good Morning Botts:

Late start this morning from a late evening last night.  It is time to detox my body from all the sweets, carbs and any other toxins that have been consumed over the last six weeks.  Holidays are over and time to get back on track is here.  I am starting my detox at 159 lbs.  I am going on a 800 calorie, high protein, low carb diet to shed 15 lbs. over the next few months.  I will be posting my eats and my activities each day.  Please come join me with your daily eats, routines and just generally conversation.  I look forward to all of us achieving all our goals this year.

Breakfast:  S.F. French Vanilla Coffee with Miralax

Snack:  Quest Brownie Protein Bar

Lunch:  Grill Chicken Breast

Snack:  Quest Brownie Protein Bar

Snack:  Deep Chocolate Vitatop

Dinner:  Tuna Salad on Bed of Lettuce

Snack:  Chocolate Protein Shake

Exercise:  I am starting back walking for 30 minutes a day and will be working my way back to a hour a day.

I hope everybody has a wonderful beginning.  Have a great day!

I will be posting this afternoon. I am going to try to be consistent with my posting this time.

Congratulations!  You have really done well on your first day BOT!   Things went well for me today.  I had gastric bypass six years ago, lost over 100 lbs and have gained all but 20 lbs back.  I know what I should do and will do  to get it back off again.  I have had all my protein for the day and feel very full.  Talk to you later!!

Thanks so much.  I had a regain of 70 lbs. over a year ago and was able to get it all off by doing the diet I had listed above.  The holidays cause me to gain 4 lbs. back but I am ready to get them off along with the final ten.  Good luck to you and talk with you tomorrow.

Tess,

    I am going through detox now. Having withdrawal from carbs & sugar!! Plan on getting some tasks done tomorrow to try to take my mind off food: I have been cutting back since the day after Xmas, but plan to start tracking my intake tomorrow.

I know detox is tough but every time you feel the need to eat something drink something first and then eat something protein forward.  It works for me and hopefully will work for you too.  See you tomorrow.

Good morning Tess and BOTT,

I will start posting with you as of today 01/02/2012 in the evening.  Starting the year out at 219.8 pounds goal is to get back to a more comfortable weight of 180/175 pounds. 

Have a great day and I will post this evening.  I am so glad your back Tess!

I am too!  I missed posting but just needed a break.  See you this evening.

Hi!

I am new to BOTT. I have regained 13 lbs in the past year and am desperately trying to get it off. I am so happy to be on this site again. Any suggestions on getting started would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going to try the Quest bars.

Thanks again!

Carly

Hi Carly:

Glad to have you on this site.  If you go back to the basics of more protein, less carbs, more fluids and start walking, you will take those 13 lbs off pretty quickly.  When I jump start my weigh loss, I always start with 800 calories, 80-90 grams of protein, keep my carbs under 50 and drink, drink, and drink.  I also start walking again at 30 minutes a day and work my way back to an hour a day.  If you really think about it, we should  all be worth 1 hour a day.  Some tips for you.  I do not eat white, processed foods.  No potatoes, no starches, no bread, no cakes, no pasta, no sugar, no flour products.  If it is white, I don't bite.  I hope these tips will help get you started back on track.  Good Luck to you.
