Good Morning Botts:

This week is looking good for nice weather until Thursday.  I had a busy weekend with family and friends plus I got a little shopping done too!  My eats for today are:

Breakfast:  Coffee & Miralax

2nd Breakfast:  Oatmeal

Snack:  Banana

Lunch:  Quest Protein Bar

Snack:  Fiber One Bar

Dinner:  Lean Pocket Garlic Chicken

Snack:  Vitatop

Exercise:  Walking

I hope everybody had a great weekend and a great start to the week ahead.  Remember those vits and fluids.

Good Morning. It feels good to be back at work and settled in for a normal work week. Last week was a whirlwind. The class that I had to go to was very good. Lots of information and a good presenter. The potential was there for it to be very boring. Unfortunately the food was better than the class. Goodness!! Everywhere you turned was food. Plus the weekend prior was family time in the mountains. I'm feeling more stuffed than next week's turkey.

I didn't get as much exercise as I had hoped for. I guess it was all the driving but my Knees are Killing me. Lot's of arthritis strength tylenol and ice over the weekend. 2 pillows and the recliner were my best friend over the weekend.

Today is starting out pretty good:

Commute: Coffee

Breakfast:  Crustless quiche (Mushrooms, peppers, onions & turkey bacon)

Lunch:  Chicken tortilla soup

snack:  Greek Yogurt w/ dry ranch and sliced veggies

Dinner: Spaghetti meat sauce & salad (skip the pasta)

We missed you last week!  Good to see you back.  Sorry about those achy knees though.  Okay, it is time to unstuffed the turkey because we know we are going to stuff it next Thursday.  So get that tea glass to working and when your knees get better get those walking shoes on!  Have a great week! 

Just filled up the tea jug/mug/bubba keg. Even with the achy knees, today's plan is 5 minutes every hour. Just stretching and walking. Gotta show them who's boss.

Oh, oh, oh.....I had an interesting appt Friday with the eye doctor. His office had been hesitant to schedule me because it hadn't been a year since my last apointment. I told them I didn't care to schedule the appt because something had changed. Oh boy had it every. I needed a much stronger prescription. Things had become blurry and it didn't seem to help wearing my glasses full time. He thinks it's due to the Vitamin D deficiency that I've had.

KEEP TAKING THOSE VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad that you went and had that checked.  I got to go to the eye doctor, dentist and get a mammogram before years' end.  So looking forward to all three.

Good morning!  Had a pretty good weekend. We went to Cheesecake Factory for hubby's birthday dinner and I was pretty proud of myself; I allowed myself 2 slices of bread and had soup and salad for dinner, I also didn't order any cheesecake! I did get the strawberry shortcake but had half of it Saturday and the rest on Sunday. I still need to get my eating/ cravings under control epically before the holidays and disneyland. I am going to start the 5 day pouch test today and this time fini****!  Wish me luck!

my eats... 

b: 16 oz protein shake with milk and water, coffee

s: glass of milk

l: wonton soup broth

s: 8oz shake

d: pumpkin sasuage soup

already poured my 32oz water and will try to have 2 of these today. About to take my vits. Have a good day. I have housework and lots of sewing to keep me busy today and a kitten and 3 year old. I think chasing after them will be my workout for the day!

Good luck today on the 5 day pouch test!  I can't believe you went to the Cheesecake Factory and did not get cheesecake!!!!! My Favorite DESSERT!

Truthfully I am not a big cheesecake fan but I went there with the idea that I was getting the pumpkin pecan one. I look forward to that one very year but I want to save the yummy treats for thanksgiving and christmas
