Good Morning Botts:

It is a hot, hot day here in Mississippi and I got to be on a jobsite today.  I will be glowing and sparkling all day.  My eats for today are:

Breakfast:  Quest Brownie Bar (no coffee today, just too hot)

Snack:  Grapes

Lunch:  Quest Cookie Dough Bar

Snack:  Greek Yogurt Bar

Snack:  Cheese and Crackers

Dinner:  BBQ Chicken Fajitas

Snack:  Mini Ice Cream Cone

Exercise:  2 mile walk around the neighborhood

Have a great day and remember those vits and fluids. 

I went back to work yesterday and by bedtime last night I was exhausted!  I doing okay so far today but my abs are sore.  I'm still not back to tracking my food & counting calories but trying to watch portion size and keep my protein intake up.  I know I'm not getting way off track or anything but probably going over my normal calorie budget some.  I am recovering well.  Got mixed feelings about coming back to work so soon after surgery.  I'm glad to be getting back to my normal routines but my body is not 100% ready.

Welcome back Angela!  Glad to hear you are recovering well, but try to take it as slow as you're allowed.  Hopefully, you'll be making leaps and bounds in the near future :)

You are a warrior to me.  I could not even think about going back to wor****il I was 4 weeks out and then it was just half days for a week.  Don't worry about calories right now, your body needs extra calories to burn to help heal you up quickly.  I know it is good to have some routine back but please be careful on what you pickup and how you bend over.  You do not want to stress those scar lines.  Thanks for the update, I hope you have a better day today.

Hello BOTT friends,

Late post again.  Very busy day yesterday, but I did get my recumbent bike workout done.  Had to split it into 2 sessions, but got in 47 minutes, covering 5.3 miles.  My eats were:

B:  4 strips turkey bacon, 1 med egg + 1 egg white + 1/4 c eggbeaters, sandwich thin, 1 tbsp light butter sub

S:  1 c fresh strawberries

L:  Leftovers from cleaning fridge:  2 ozs lean beef burger (no bun, no condiments), 2 ozs baked chicken breast, 1/4 c Taco Bell pintos and cheese, 1 slice turkey bacon

D:  5 oz lean beef burger on sandwich thin, 1 slice ultra thin cheddar, mustard, 1 tbsp ketchup, 2 tsps relish

S:  4 ozs SF chocolate pudding

Doing good!  You will be crossing that line over into the hundred mark real soon!
