Good evening, BOTT friends,

Angela, I was wondering about Tess also.  Praying everything is alright and she is on her way to a full and uneventful recovery.

Went to lunch with my daughters at a Mexican restaurant today.  Couldn't find much to eat due to such high carbs (very low carb is my preference at this phase of my eating plan), so I decided on fish tacos.  The tilapia was grilled, and there were 3 big flour tortillas containing the fish and lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro as a salad.  I just added the fish to the vegs and topped it with a little salsa, throwing out the tortillas.  Needless to say, it was not the greatest, and I have had much better fish tacos.  So I'm calling this a "fish salad".

Did my recumbent bike workout tonight for 47 mins, covering 5.5 miles.  Today I ate:

B:  4 strips turkey bacon

S:  protein shake made w/coffee and 1/3 c 1% milk, 1/2 oz natural almonds

L:  above "fish salad", coffee with splenda and 2 tbsps half&half

S:  1 and 1/2 c cooked kale

D:  6 ozs  homemade lean beef meatballs w/onions, peppers, mushrooms in marinara w/2 tbsps parmesan

S:  apple or Light & Fit yogurt (possible LNS)

Goodnight friends :)
