Happy Hump Day Botts:

 

I was scheduled to have my post surgery pictures made today but Aunt Flo showed up Monday unscheduled and uninvited so....I moved my appointment until next Tuesday, July 2nd.  Something about being that TOM and taking nekked pictures just does not work for me.  My eats for today are:

 

Breakfast:  Quest Brownie Bar (no coffee again today)

Snack:  Grapes

Lunch:  Quest Brownie Bar

Snack:  Cheese & Crackers

Dinner:  Steak & Cheese Sub from Subway

Snack:  Mini Ice Cream Cone

 

Exercise:  2 miles around the neighborhood

 

Have an awesome Wednesday gals and guys and remember those vits and fluids.

Good evening, BOTT friends,

 

Hey Tess...I don't blame you for that one, lol!  Would be kinda awkward now, wouldn't it?  Are they the type of pics you see with the person wearing that little swatch of fabric over your privates?  I admire your courage, because I'd be scared to death!  But I guess you could say you've been through the worst part when you had to undress and get marked pre-op.  Now you're probably hot-to-trot :)

I had an ok day today.  Lots of new pain from this new "possible fracture" of my upper spine.  I'll be seeing an orthopedic doc on Friday, and hopefully, she will arrive at a diagnosis.  I did a short bike workout today, but couldn't finish as the pain wa****ting every few minutes like a lightning bolt through my body with every miscalculated move.  I did get in 18 minutes, covering 2 miles.  Today I ate:

 

B:  vanilla protein shake with SF International coffee and 1/2 c almond milk, 7 natural almonds

L:  1 c tuna salad, sandwich thin

S:  3/4 c fresh blueberries

D:  6 ozs homemade pulled chicken barbecue, 1/2 c black beans with 1 oz shredded taco cheese

 

Off to bed for late night TV.  Goodnight friends :)

Hi Shelia:

 

I don't even get the little swatch of cloth.  Fully disrobed.  The funny thing about these pictures is that my husband is there in the room while the doctor is taking the pictures.  Feels a little dirty if you know what I mean.  

So sorry that your back is still hurting.  With the shooting pain, it almost sounds like a pinched nerve that is firing off at you.  I hope you get the answers you need on Friday and a quick solution to the pain.  Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Tess...I know this site is "clean", but that photo session with your husband present could add a little *spice* to your life following the visit...

A definite WIN, WIN situation, lol!

Thanks for the well wishes.  A pinched nerve is also a possibility.

Good call Tess! Hope you get some answers and relief from your appointment tomorrow Sheila. Here's my day yesterday:

B 1/2 protein coffee
S 1/2 protein coffee, quest brownie bar
L 2 Deviled eggs, carrots, ranch dressing
S blueberries
D chicken apple maple sausage, sauerkraut, mustard, catsup
S Vitatop muffin top, 2 T dry roasted peanuts

Did a Zumba circuit class before work, 96 ounces fluids

Thanks!  How are the babies?  Are they feeling better yet?  What about mama?

Thanks, Tigs...still unable to access the xray from the docs office done by the ditzy xray tech.  But tomorrow's visit may hold the answer.

They are both doing great, thanks! My son has a bloody nose every other day but it clears up within a few minutes. They have their follow-up this afternoon. I'm doing well too...relieved. And they, and consequently me, slept through the night for the first time last night since their surgeries last week so we're all well rested and I think we're all back on track . Thanks for asking!

Good to hear.  Take care.

Lots of prayers, positive thoughts, AND fingers crossed
