BOTT Challenge for January - Roll Call - Weds!

Hey Everyone,

I am so excited and proud of how each and everyone one of you who took control and posted yesterday.  Give yourselves a fist bump 

If I were to say this to anyone else they would laugh at me   but I know you guys would understand.  I am jumping with excitement as the last few days I have been able to do something I have been battling for a long time.  I am no longer drinking with meals  YEAH BABY    This has been such a struggle of mine.  And while it's a small thing it's the start of me getting back to  "all" the steps I need.  One by one we let the rules and life style that got us to goal go by the way side and before you know it we are in trouble.  So for me this is a victory and sign I am on the way  

Here is my food and exercise from yesterday.  I am also going to post in the Cafe and Cardio post.

I did my 30 minutes on Elliptical and the at the last minute last night I decided to visit a Jazzercise class to see if I would like to join.  I haven't done that in over fifteen years.  It wasn't to bad, I thought I would be sore today but I am not so I guess I have done better in the excercise department then I thought.  I didn't stay in total step with them but I did keep moving all the way through it.  So It was a 90 minute class. 

Woo hoo, come on 2010, it is our year ! !

Kathy - CONGRATULATIONS on not drinking with the meal, that is a tough one ! ! 

Hi Sally,

Great job with joining the Jazzercise class.  And I love that part where you found out your body has not reversed too far    It took me so long to not drink with meals and while it seems like a small thing for me it's big in keeping my weight off.

See ya tomorrow 

I'm so proud of you.  Seems as though we each have a "growing edge" and when we take control of that so many other aspects fall into place.  Keep up the good habits!!!!

Hey HLB 

Its good to see you here and thank you for the encouraging words.  Hope to see you here often 

Take care,
Kathy

I did pretty good yesterday. I believe I turned part way around a corner.  Evenings are bad for me.  This is when I snack on all the stuff I shouldn't.  I was getting jumpy last night and really needed something.  (I know just like an addict!)  Anyway, I found some candy, had a few then decided no, I can't do this, I have to stop and stick with my plan.  Put the rest away and went to the fridge in search of a replacement.  So there I am at 11:30PM eating peas and low fat veggie dip.  Much better choice.
Although I did cheat a little, overall the day was good.

Hi DailyMae,

If you want, share with us tomorrow what you eat and drink and when>  I am thinking if you get more protein in during the day and your water you will not be so munchie at night.

Great job in making a healthier choice last night.  You knew you would have to come here and confess 


Keep up the great job you are doing 

Take care,
Kathy

Hello everyone!

Yesterday was good.  I actually started on Dec 28th so been at it for a little over a week. 

B - Sausage Omelet
L - grilled chicken and broccoli/cheese
D - hamburger pattie with cheese and mushrooms
S - sugar free jello with cool whip

I noticed at lunch yesterday that I could not eat it all.  I feel so guilty when I throw food away - something that stems from childhood.  But learning why we feel about certain things just helps us grow in our life-long plan to be healty. 

I stopped by and did my Curves workout last night.  Did not allow the snow and 15 degree temps discourage me. 

Wish everyone a great and blessed day!

Hey Janet 

Do you have any pets that would love to eat your left overs?  I too feel guilty sometimes but just share 

Great job on getting your exercise 

See you tomorrow..

Take care,
Kathy

So far so good today! I've had carrots, celery and a bit of letus to stave off the hunger/snacky feelings. I do feel like i need some protein soon, though, so I'll be making a run to the cafe to check out their selections. I'm also ensuring to get plenty of water!
