Good Morning Botts:

I am back in the saddle for a little while. My pain is know around a 4 and I am not quite so out of it. My surgeon was awesome. It removed a 6 inch swatch of skin around 90 percent of my body which equals 4 lbs. of skin/fat. I have internal stitches, external staples and some huge tension sutures that I am not looking forward to getting remove, but he made me look great. I may not be posting every day but will try to check in each day. Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. I have been feeling them. Take care.

Good evening, BOTT friends,

Posting early (for me) tonight. Had a very busy day cleaning my kitchen, cooking and babysitting. Made pancakes for the whole family and invited them over. I don't eat them, so I didn't have to worry about going off my plan. I did attack the fresh strawberries today though, but I always eat them as is with no sweeteners.

I got my recumbent bike workout in twice today...felt very good each time with more energy than I've had in days. Must be the new iron pills working their mojo. I got in a total of 65 mins, covering 9.8 miles! I did kinda overdo the sodium when I ate turkey bacon, but calorie wise it was ok, and fat was better than having the real thing. Today I ate:

B: protein shake made w/coffee, 1/4 c 1% milk and 1 tbsp half&half, 5 strips turkey bacon (1hr after shake)

S: 1 c fresh strawberries

L: protein shake made w/6ozs 1% milk, 1/2 c fresh strawberries

S: 1/2 c fresh strawberries

D: chicken stir-fry with broccoli, onions and mushrooms, low sodium chicken stock and light soy sauce (no rice or noodles)

Hope everyone has a good night, and hope you're resting comfortably, Tess.

Big, but gentle, healing hugs, Tess! So good to hear from you!

Did well on eating, fluids, vitamins, and exercise. Took a one hour hike with my DH. Mom was all weekend and loved visiting with her. She'll be back tomorrow to care for our little girl who now has pink eye, poor dear. Loved my long weekend with kids. And cold but no snow today!
