Hi Everyone! 

Day 2 of being back on track... so far, so good. I got back on the Wii Fit too, and ughh... boy could I feel the difference after not using it in awhile. But, this is a fresh start! 

Here's my food for today...

B: 2 eggs, scrambled w/ cheese (Only ate probably 1 1/2 eggs)
S: CLICK w/ 8 oz water, 4 oz nonfat milk... and a splash of SF raspberry syrup
L: leftover seafood/veggie casserole - about 2/3 cup and a handful of grapes
S: a bite of an Atkins protein bar in Sam's Club - it was good, but only 5 g of protein per bar. Pfttt!! You call that a protein bar? lol
D: 3 oz of applewood smoked bacon pork loin from Sam's Club (cooked all day in the crock pot) and 1/4 cup of chopped broccoli.

I did 36 minutes on my Wii Fit this afternoon, am on track with my vitamins, and I need a couple more bottles of water still... but that is what will keep me from snacking tonight.

Happy Tuesday BOTT Family,
Believe it or not I'm having a hard time eating my meals as planned for the day.  I'm not hungry!  Now if it were a bag of Cheez-Its or some pretzels I could knock them out with no problem.  I try to keep my calorie intake to about 1200 calories a day, but it's getting to be a real struggle.  What's going on? Am I eating too much or too heavy?  Help!
