Morning Tess

I see many people eating Quest bars....I will give them a try....I always keep a protein bar ( usually a small Oh Yeah ) in my handbag for emergencies....but I think I am going to try incorporating them into my regular eating schedule

Have had two great eating weeks and I feel so much better both mentally and physically ( down 4.5 pounds in the two weeks).
Heading to Florida tomorrow for a week and am hoping to just keep my weight static as I know I will imbibe with friends and eat out frequently

B - leftover chicken cordon bleu with a few bites of grilled peppers

s - hopefully nothing...if I am hungry will eat two triscuits with one wedge laughing cow

l - out - hopefully some nice fish and veggies

d - 4 oz beef tenderloin.....few bites of mashed....and few bites of grilled veggies

s - mix of blueberries/raspberries with a little Zero vanilla yogurt and a tablespoon of walnuts....YUMM

All water...vits....already into my third decaf coffee...

Hope you and other BOTT's have a great Easter weekend

Congratulations on the 4.5 pound loss.  I love my quest bars.  They fill me up and keep me from other munchies.  I hope you can maintain your loss during your trip to Florida.  I never can but I try to keep my gain to no more than 2 pounds if possible.  Have fun.

Good morning Botts!

It's Friday!  I slept in today and feel great.

Just happen to catch Carrie Wilson on the Doctors this morning and I support her for taken back control even if it was having another surgery to do it.  We all have our own issues that has caused us to comeback here to re-gain control. 

Today, I will do an at home workout with Wii Active Tennis - 30minutes and later this afternoon once the temp raises above the current 41 degree and take an easy walk in my hood (Fort Tryon Park) on the lower level, not ready to climb the hills just yet.

Wasn't it nice to sleep in this morning?  I wished I had seen Carnie this morning.  I applaud her too.  I think everybody has to fight their own demons their own way.  Have a great day.
