Good Morning Botters:
It is rainy fast and furious this morning and thankfully, I got in to work before the bottom fell out. I had a wonderful evening last night with my family celebrating my son's birthday early. We ate out a local Mexican place that we all loved and then came home for cake and ice cream. Yes, I did indulge in cake and ice cream but a small slice and 1 spoon full only. I had a steak quesadilla for dinner. It is hard to believe that my baby is going to be 18 tomorrow. Where has the time gone?
My eats for today are:
Breakfast: Coffee & Miralax
Snack: Quest Brownie Bar
Lunch: I thinking a bowl of Oatmeal
Snack: Quest Brownie Bar
Dinner: Chicken Fajitas
Snack: I am sure I will be having another small slice of cake
Biking for exercise
I hope everybody has an awesome day and remember those vits and fluids.
Morning! I am so tired extra coffee today for sure. I feel like my iron has just dropped and I feel like...... Well you know.... Anyone have any suggestions with dealing with RLS? My legs are killing me. Alright enough whining for now LOL
my eats:
pb: coffee with ff french vanilla creamer
B: 1/2 cup cereal with 1/2 cup 1% milk and half a banana
s: hopefully my protein will arrive
l: salad with leftover tri tip
s: another shake?
D: humm... Not sure we will see
Lots of water and my vitamins. Have a great day!
if it is not iron - then extra magnesium with calcium before bed works for me. Also - diet tonic water. Great for muscle cramps. ( I make sure it gets flat before I drink it and I don't use generic - the generic has nutrasweet - that give me headaches. The original formula has saccharine - and my body tolerates that better than other artificial sweeteners. )

Hopefully this goes well! For exercise I worked out to the Insanity DVD program that was 45 minutes today, and will go for a walk with the hubby tonight before dinner.
I want to get back into my skinny jeans! I can do this!!
You can do it! You will be surprised how you feel later on during the week. I will tell you that the hardest part, at least for me, was day 3 and day 6. I wasn't really as prepared for eating "real" food and kinda fell of the wagon. Day 6 is very much mind over matter but it is possible. Good luck! Don't feel defeated if you gain a few pounds back it seems like it's pretty common.
Good morning BOTTs.
Tess it sounds like you had a wonderful time celebrating your son's birthday. My son turned 20 this past August and I am still reeling from it! Where oh where does the time go? Every day is so so precious.
Things are a little off for me right now...I mindlessly grabbed about 12 chocolate covered espresso beans, crunched them up and swallowed them before I could even tell myself that if I was going to have them, take the time to enjoy each one. haha..maybe I needed coffee before I could be smart about coffee beans!
Breakfast: espresso beans(?)
Snack: protein drink
Lunch: small chili from Wendy's
Snack: protein bar
Dinner: shredded chicken taco
Snack: peach and string cheese
My water drinking was way down yesterday so that is a focus for today.
Have a nice day all.

My goodness, I didn't think I would make it through the first day of the 5DPT yesterday! I was shaky and nervous and by bed time i felt nauseous. But today I'm doing much better. I know how you all feel about your babies growing up too fast. My son is 19, my daughter is 12...and I want my little boy and little girl back! I really miss being the mom of little kids...but not enough to start over lol.
