Back On Track Together
Friday, January 31st, Cardio & Cafe
Good Morning Botts:
What a month January has been. Weather wise, it has been up and down with the cold and warm weather. It is suppose to be 53 degrees here today...Weight wise, I have been up and down with the same 5 lbs. all month. And, yesterday Mother Nature decided to show up after 3 1/2 months of MIA. My body is just acting crazy right now. I hope that February brings us better weather, better success with weight loss and for me a calmer body (no hot flashes). My eats to finish off the month are:
Breakfast: Coffee & Miralax
Snack: Fiber One Cake
Lunch: Lean Pocket
Snack: Fiber One Cake
Dinner: 1 slice Cheese Pizza
Snack: Vitatop
Exercise: Plan on going out
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend and remember to take your vits and drink your fluids.
Hi Tess, It is getting warmer here also. Today we may get in low 50's and Sunday in low 60's.. would not mind that at all. My BF and I plan to get out there and enjoy the weather before it starts raining next week.
I ate very good yesterday, but at the late evening - I was so hungry that I could not sleep.. That is typically one step for me to low BS so i decided to eat 1 oz of peanuts.
The scale was kind to me this morning.
Today eats:
coffee x2 + miralax..
tea with lemon, vits..
L: beef with green beans (I was starving)
S: tea, cucumber, 1 oz of chicken breast
D: turkey or chicken breast + some veggies
LNS: I most likely will have some nuts... (they really help me with my low BS)
Exercise - not sure but probably none today

Out of the house and back to work...YIPEE!!! Cabin fever had begun to set in and the best part of all is the SUN is shining. I think I could sit outside in that all day. I love, love, love my sunshine. And I had a 2 hour delay on Payday Friday. Pinch me I might just be dreaming.
My plan today is fairly simple:
Coffee while lounging around the house.
Breakfast: Oatmeal (while still lounging!)
Lunch: Egg Drop Soup
snack: Greek yogurt
Dinner: Going out...most likely fish tacos
I need to take my vitamins. I'm working on tall glass #2 of my decaf tea already. I found a Tai Chi workout on Amazon Instant videos that I think I'll try tonight. It's supposed to be good for the arthritis. Anything that keeps me moving is a good thing. I'll let you know what I think about it next week.
Everyone be safe, stay warm and have a great weekend.

Tess, I think you have done the coffee & miralax daily as long as I've been a member of our BOTT group, but now I'm seeing that on others menu's. Does that just aide digestion or is there some other benefit? Just wondering if I should try it. Thanks.

About 2 years ago I was having trouble with bathroom issues and too much protein not digesting properly plus taking iron. I talked with Vitalady and LadyTazz because they have had the same issues. They got me started on the Miralax with coffee and the 2 magnesium oxides everyday to help regulate me, it took about 2 good weeks before my system finally corrected itself and I have been good to go since. Before that I had tried a little bit of everything but nothing would help. Basically, if I needed to go I had to have a laxative to go, now I don't. Now I can go everyday. TMI but it works for me.
Happy Friday BOTTs.
I'm looking forward to my own personal challenge of getting 10,000 steps logged on Pacer this weekend...I'd feel really good if I could do it both days but I will shoot for one, as of now.
Breakfast: Belvita chocolate breakfast biscuits
Snack: greek yogurt
Lunch: veggie burger w/o bun
Snack: 15 almonds
Dinner: baked fish and veggies
Snack: SF hot chocolate and later string cheese
Have a beautiful weekend, friends. I hope the weather is good to you.
