Good evening, BOTT friends,

 

Very, very busy day for me followed by a very strong line of winds and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings.  They threatened, but never really materialized (except for strong winds) at least not to the point of really severe damage, Thank You Lord.  I went clothes shopping for the first time in eons, as most of my clothes are now TOO BIG!! 

Didn't get my bike workout done tonight, but will do 2 workouts tomorrow to make up for it.  I really don't "have" to make it up, but that's just my own anal brain telling me what I "must" do, lol.  Plus, I am staying at a hotel for the next 2 nights with my mom and 4 sisters for a "Mother/Daughter Sleepover", and I don't know if they have gym equipment.  And even if they do, I still am only allowed to do the recumbent bike, so I feel a need to get a headstart by doing 2 workouts tomorrow and 2 on Sunday when I return.  Today I ate:

 

B:  protein shake made with black coffee, and 1 1/2 tbsps half & half, 4 strips turkey bacon

L:  4 ozs grilled turkey burger on sandwich thin, 1 slice ultra thin cheddar, mustard, 1 tbsp ketchup, lettuce, tomato

D:  4 ozs leftover baked "spaghetti" (zero calorie shirataki noodles)

S:  6 ozs Light & Fit yogurt, 1/2 c fresh raspberries and blueberries

 

Goodnight friends :)

Glad the weather did not get bad your way and I love the mother/daughters sleepover.  Have fun!
