Friday, March 8th, Cardio & Cafe

Good Morning Botts:

I am posting early so that I can wish everybody a great Friday.  I will be out of pocket until Monday morning.  I hope everybody has a great weekend.  My eats will be different and I am not sure what some of my meals will be but I will be carrying my quest bars with me.  I have my vitamins with me and I promise to drink alot.  Chat with y'all on Monday.

This is a new day and a new beginning for me. Changing my menu a bit to jump start my weight loss, hoping for good results.  You have a great Friday and a better weekend!

Good Morning Everyone!!! 

I started my day with Big Train Espresso Protein (its really good) and hoping to follow the rest of the day with good choices... 

Early morning: Coffee and Big Train Espresso Protein

Breakfast: eggs, cheese omelette

noon snack: quest protein bar (going to give them a try) 

Lunch: thinking of a ham/cheese salad 

Dinner: Chicken w/marinara & cheese, probably a crepe manicotti (if I can get to the kitchen in time) 

before bed: hoping to have the Big Train Spiced Chai w/scoop of vanilla protein

( I didn't know big train had a spiced chai protein otherwise I would have gotten that one instead)

I think that will cover me :)

really loving the big train protein ...its really good 

Where do you get the Big Train Protein? That's a new one on me.

It's looking to be a beautiful and busy weekend. My oldest son is coming in fo rthe weekend. Hoping to get some long walks in on the beach in search of sea glass and shells after this week's storm. I love my simple life.

Breakfast:    Oatmeal w/ almonds

snack:          1/2 apple

Lunch:         Chili

snack:          1/2 apple w/ tbsp of peanut butter

Tess, I do a lot of lurking so you do not know me.  Please answer a question for me.  The Quest bars you mention have 22 grams of sugar.  At least, the ones I looked at have that much.  Am I right about the sugar and can you handle that much?  I can not handle that much.

Just wondering --  do not mean to be nosey.

Hi Ruby

Tess is gone for the weekend, but I think I know the answer to your question.  I have never had a Quest bar...maybe someday I will because they must taste great and offer more substantially more nutrition value than the desserts they sell in bakeries.  Yes some people dump from them, but she has lost and maintained on them.  We are all individuals and we find different ways to lose and maintain.  Perhaps if you can't tolerate them there are better bars for you.  I know Hala can't eat them.  Follow her food records to find out what she eats.  You are doing great with your weight loss so whatever you are doing is working wonders for you.  Tri

Thanks for the reply.  Actually, i have gained 20 pounds in the last year (sick husband, lots of time in hospitals/rehabs, stress, vending machines, no exercise.)  I can not get my bottom in lots of my 10/12 pants.  I can not seem to lose an ounce.  I know a lot of it is the lack of exercise.  I walk two miles a day, most days, but I need more.

Have a good Saturday.  I am going to try to get myself to gym to sign up for some easy classes (maybe Silver Sneakers.)

Maybe I will try a Quest bar.  Most of the bars i try, I hate.  i drink a lot of  Adkins Advantage and GNC Lean
