Monday, March 11th, Cardio & Cafe

Good Morning Botts:

I had a fantastic weekend with my hubby.  I think everybody should run off with their significant other whenever you can get the chance.  It really makes you remember why you love them so much.  I was not faithful to my diet and pretty much ate a little of everything that I wanted but I am back on the ball this morning.  I did not weigh after the weekend but my clothes still fit fine so I know I did not do to much damage.  My eats for today are back to strictly protein to detox a few sugars and bad carbs out of my system again...

Breakfast:  Coffee with Miralax

Snack:  Protein Shake

Lunch:  Protein Shake

Snack:  Protein Shake

Dinner:  Protein Bar

Snack:  Protein Bar

I also got lots of exercise over the weekend walking, shopping, spending time with my hubby!

I hope everybody has a great Monday, my son is having an awesome time in Italy.  They are now leaving Venice and on their way to Florence.  They will be in Rome by Wednesday.  It would be awesome if they picked a new Pope while he was in Rome.  What a story to tell.  Don't forget to take your vitamins and drink your fluids.

That would be a story and a half if they elected the new Pope...but at any rate he's there during a critical point in the history of the Catholic Church. WOW!! So glad you had an enjoyable weekend. Mine was fantastic.

Recovered from my head cold just in time to start sneezing with seasonal allergies. I was fine up until I went for my walk yesterday afternoon. All that fresh air got me. Give me a few doses of Claritin and I'll be as good as new.

Commute:  Coffee

Breakfast:  Oatmeal

Lunch:       Peanut Butter & Banana wrap

dinner:       Leftover Shepherd's pie (minus the mashed potatoes)

dessert:     Click Smoothie

Wouldn't that be awesome?  I have so enjoyed our warm temps over the weekend but it is another chilly Monday.  I saw the weather this morning and they are saying it will be around 70 on Saturday.  Can't wait.  Let the allergy season begin.

Tess congrats on that trip!  I have got to get away with my hubs soon.  My eats have been off today.  I sprained my ankle chasing my toddler in 3 inch wedge sandals - looked up and he had something sharp.  Now I am in bed with ice and on pain meds.  I was going to do 5 day pouch test but had to eat solids to take medicine. 

I will try to eat clean soon - like tomorrow - please let me be OK - I have got to go to work! 

So sorry for the fall.  I know that was not any fun.  I hope you are feeling better today and can at least wobble around.  

Ouch.. saty cool.. BTW - pain meds cause me to get constipated so watch for that...

Good evening BOTT friends,

The mail carrier came today and I was very surprised to see that my protein bars were in it!  I just ordered them from Netrition last Thursday, and was to allow 3 working days for them to arrive, so I got them a day or so early.  Tess, thank you for your tips about the chocolate brownie bar.  I only ordered 1 of those because my daily protein shake is chocolate, and I am not a chocolate fiend...I prefer vanilla and fruit flavors.  But the chocolate bar will give me a break from the shake, and if I really like it, I'll order more.

I just tried the vanilla almond crunch, and I liked it.  I also got the apple pie, peanut butter & jelly, and mixed berry bliss.  They were 2.09 per bar at Netrition.com.

Today I ate:

B:  Mickey D's fruit and walnut oatmeal

S:  protein shake

L:  1/2 cup tuna salad and dill pickle

S:  protein bar  (ate 1/4 and saving the rest for late night snack)

D:  braised pork chop with onions. peppers and mushrooms, 1/2 cup cabbage

Hoping everyone had a pleasant day and sweet dreamzzzz!

Hi Shelia:

I hope you enjoy the Quest Bars.  I was not a fan of the PB & J or mixed berry bliss but I do like the apple pie, vanilla almond crunch and the peanut butter supreme.  I also, find that I am loving the chocolate chip cookie dough bar too.  Have a great day.
