Weekend BOTTing

Hey BOTTers,

How is everyone doing?  

I'm having a rough day today.  I ate more carb stuff last night than I normally do.  I had total knee replacement in December and while I'm better, it is a really rough pain day today.  We're having a couple of days of warm weather and it is almost 70 degrees today.  I'd love to take a walk but I'm not stable enough and can't walk very far.  By Spring, my goal is to be able to take short walks.  

So I don't get into the carb stuff, here's my food log:

Saturday:

B - Coffee, 3 cups

L - Turkey sandwich

D - Salsa Chicken

S - Apple and 2 T. Peanut Butter

S - Frozen blueberries

Sunday:

B - Scramble of eggs, turkey bacon, bell peppers, onions

L - Finish my breakfast above

D - BBQ Chicken and green beans

S - Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich

S - Pear

Happy BOTTing!!

both days sound like good plands to me! I ate not so good yesterday. had a scrambled egg w/veggies for breakfast, lunch was the burger patty from the center of a slider and some artichoke dip with chips and salsa, and dinner was some salad and 1/4 of a guacamole bacon burger.

today I plan on doing much better! 
B: is scrambled eggs w/veggies in a bacon bowl( gotta try this thing out!)
L:power greens and maybe some tuna
D: will most likely be chicken and power greens

snacks I have strawberries and blueberries! 

Bacon bowl?  What is the thing you're trying out?  

its an as seen on tv product that you wrap bacon around it cook it in the micro or oven and it comes out like a bowl and you can fill it with eggs or what ever you want! its kinda cool. I found them at the dollar tree! and they end up on the small side so its perfect!

Ugh...I'm not having a great BOTT weekend! Over the holidays, my husband and I bought a $25 cheesecake factory gift card with a promo of 2 free cheesecake slices. Yesterday, we cashed in and I ordered a PASTA dish!!! Oh, one of the worst things at one of the worst places...followed by cheesecake!! The only thing I have going for me is that I got the lunch size and didn't come close to finishing and that we split the cheesecake between us (and it was really more like a 70/30 split), but still...more than a day's worth of calories in that meal. Sigh.

I had gotten more than 10 lbs of my regain off but the scale bumped up a good bit after that blip yesterday. Ah well, back on track today!!

Congrats on the lose of 10 pounds.  That's great!

What came to my mind when I read your post is progress not perfection.  The fact that you've lost 10 pounds is progress.  You had a day yesterday that wasn't perfect, however, the most important thing is that you said "back on track today".  

To me being on track is having a day like you did yesterday and getting back on track the next day.  

I'm still hanging in there.  Protein shakes for b and l.  Some kind of protein high meal (usually chicken) for dinner then raw veggies for mid day snack and another protein shake after dinner if I need it.  I want to get this extra weight off as fast as I can so I am not going to go out to eat if I can avoid it.  I know the first thing I would order is a baked potato with lots of butter.  So, I am hunkered down trying to stay focused and keep my head in the game.

Unless I have a protein shake for breakfast I struggle with any other kind of protein.  I don't do eggs in any form.  Scrambled eggs are so easy to get out and make at home but they are off the menu for me!

Ps...I lost a pound this morning!!!   Yee haw!!!

I'm with you about going out to eat.  That is a challenge for me to do.  Plus, when we do that, we have no idea how things are prepared or what ingredients are used.  I do much better when I keep it simple and go out to eat for special occasions.  

One pound down - WOO HOO!  You've got your head in the BOTT game!

There must have been something in the air yesterday as I allowed a few too many carbs reach out and grab me too. Did OK all day with 2 slices turkey bacon and small apple in AM, vegetable beef soup at lunch, and grilled chicken with salad at dinner, but late night I found myself mindlessly snacking on crackers. Stress eating...I have my re-certification paperwork done now so that should be over :>

Today:

B: Click

L: turkey roll ups with dill pickles

D: ground turkey sloppy joe, no roll, peas

S: small apple with almond butter

The night eating is a challenge for me too.  

I'm glad that your re-certification paperwork is done.  What are you re-certifying?  

Ground turkey sloppy joe sounds delicious.
