Good Morning Botts:

Sorry for missing in action yesterday afternoon.  Migraine came back and I had to go home and buried my face in a pillow.  Feel better right now.  I will see for how long.

Breakfast:  Coffee & Miralax

2nd Breakfast:  Oatmeal

Snack:  Vitatop Brownie

Lunch:  Quest Bar

Snack:  Vitatop Brownie

Dinner:  Lean Pocket

Snack:  NSA ice cream

No exercise this afternoon.  Rain is getting ready to come in.

Hope everybody has a good day and remember your vits and fluids.

Tess145, So sorry to hear about your migraines. Before the surgery I had them regularly, several a week since age 13, now just one a month with shifting hormones.  I hope your are keeping a diary so that you can see a doctor and figure this out.  Low blood sugar, extreme cold, too much Sun and lack of sleep were some of my triggers.

B: Raspberry protein shake

S: Cheese Stick

L: 4 oz Sloppy Joe, no bun threw some spinach and mushrooms in for veggies 

S: Cheese Stick

D: 2 2.5 oz Salmon cakes, homemade

I will take a brisk walk at lunch. Though if the Bart (train) goes on strike, I will have a long, long walk to the bus.

Thank you Calibelle.  I can't decide if I spend to much time on the computer on Saturday nights reading, if it is being brought on by menopause, or if my lexapro is finally deciding to be a b*tch.  I do feel better right now though.  I have been waking up a lot at night so that might be a cause too.  I didn't think about that.

I need some sunshine....SOON!!!! I love the temperature. I don't mind the wind. The gray skies are becoming my kryptonite. I'm not sure how people in the Northwest cope with this type weather. It's been a solid week of it and I'm ready to buy some flood lights and a grow light set up from some weed growers just to have some manmade sunshine. I'm feeling a tad bit desperate. lol

Sorry about the migraine(s). David is home from work with one today.

Tonight is weigh in night at WW. I need that weekly personal interaction. I'm feeling good about it. It's been much less stressful this week so I know I haven't made those impulse decisions that include high amounts of carbs. They are my comfort food of choice.

Today's plan looks like this:

commute:  coffee

Breakfast:  Cheerios, Banana & ff lactose free milk

Lunch:  Salad

snack:  Greek Yogurt w/ small handful of Bear Naked Granola

Dinner:  Roast Chicken w/squash

Exercise is up in the air right now. I picked up a beginners Yoga dvd at the thrift store this weekend that I think I might try out.

Thanks Iris.  Good luck tonight at weigh in and good luck on that Yoga dvd.  I tried some of the beginners moves and found my body didn't go that way!

:::Hugs:::

I'm so sorry about your painful migraines.  I'm glad you are feeling better now and I hope and pray it continues.  We just don't have time for that! 

Be well.

Gaby

Thanks Gaby.  I am going over anything that I am doing different on Saturdays that I normally did not before and the only thing I can think of is that I am on the computer in a different room with different lighting.  Maybe my vision is giving me a migraine.  I am trying something new this weekend.

Good morning BOTTs.

Breakfast:  protein shake

Snack:  boiled egg

Lunch:  protein shake

Snack:  boiled egg

Dinner:  baked tilapia and veggies

Snack:  persimmon

Going for a walk during my lunch break.  The weather's been lovely.

Have a nice day, friends.

Gaby

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Tess, hope you are feeling better! 

It is cold and rainy in Wisconsin today.  I haven't slept well the last few nights, so I am tired and want to be curled up by my kitties at home! On a positive note, I got a TON of homework done last night, and I am feeling less stressed today :)

Eating today - not going fantastic, but it could be worse I guess. Definitely feeling my tighter pouch and loving that feeling again.  We ordered out for lunch at work today, and I didn't eat as much as I was.. makes me realize how much I was eating before!

B: Protein Drink

S: Baked potato chips ( caved and had a small bag) 130Cal

L: Extra Lean Corned Beef - few bites of rye bread with it - Only meat and mustard for the most part.

S: Just trying to focus on my water

D: Left over Chili or some Turkey Deli meat with Vegan Cheese slice and wasa cracker

Really focusing on fluids today.  Got my vitamins in, and did a 40 minute insanity work out in this morning.  Planning all 6 days this week, so I need to keep focused!  hope everyone else is having  a good day today!

Thank you so much!  I am feeling better this afternoon.  At least they were baked potato chips.  I have those occasionally at subway too.  Have a great afternoon!
