I'm so excited for you Tess!  Best wishes!  It seems like it will take forever for June 10th to get here for my TT.  This is my first cosmetic surgery but probably not my last...lol.  I've got ideas swirling in my head already for what I want to have done next.

Thank you so much!  I promise you that June 10th will be here really soon.  It is only 8 weeks until your surgery!  That is not long at all.

I'm excited for the both of you, Angela.  Tess is right...those 8 weeks will fly by in no time.  I wish I could get a few plastics procedures done myself, but finances won't allow it at this time.  Hopefully, I won't have to wait too much longer.  In the meantime, I'm still playing lotto and keeping my fingers crossed 

Good afternoon from Texas,  Where I am it got almost to 90 today and beautiful.  I hope I can keep up my energy and go for a walk later with my dog.

Tess, my goodness, do your men appreciate you as much as they should.   WOW girl!

I had a um. let me see..um..stumble ,,, I mean TUMBLE Saturday.  I hit right back at it yesterday morning though and I just can't let myself quit!  I can't...

Today:

1 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberrries

Mini Bell Light

Chicken on bed of salad

Quest bar

Protein drink for supper.

1220 cals and 95 grams of protein.  

I'd like to get the cals a little lower, but I'm OK with these totals.

You are doing great!  We all stumble sometimes but as long as we keep getting back up we will all do fine.

So the rest of last week at the conference was REALLY BAD.... all they did was feed us! I made some good choices but to many bad ones. I did work out thou.

B: Dannon lite and fit greek yogurt with a bannana

S: pure protein bar

L: homemade healthy cashew chicken salad in lettuce wraps, strawberries and fun size hershey bar

D: turkey breast, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, red beets with turkey gravy

S: SF hot choclate with skim milk.

When you are eating someone else's food all you can do is make the best choices you can and forgive yourself for the rest.  New week, new start.

Good evening, BOTT friends,

Wow...thought I'd have to post in the morning.  Well, technically, it IS morning (2:17 am here).  My laptop was being used, and I didn't want to get on my slow desktop.  Today was a "head hunger" day, and I'm blaming the kettle cooked chips I mentioned last night.  That's what happens to me when I venture out of my low carb/low fat zone.  They were 180 cals and 23 gms carbs, BUT this is always what I can expect.  That's why I don't DARE do sugar.

I maintained though, and did other things to keep my mind free and clear.  I knew I wasn't hungry, so I drank enough plain water to choke a camel :)  I also got in a short workout, 24 mins covering 3 miles, on my recumbent bike.  Today I ate:

B:  3 strips turkey bacon, 1/2 c eggbeaters and 1 egg white, 1/2 c fresh sliced strawberries

S:  6 ozs Light & Fit yogurt, 1/4 c above strawberries

L:  1 c leftover low fat, low carb homemade chicken parmesan (no breading used)

S:  protein shake made with half water/half 1% milk, 1/2 oz natural almonds

D:  6 ozs grilled sirloin w/baby portobellos, 1/2 c mixed vegs (broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots)

Head hunger decreased significantly after my protein shake.   Good night to all!

Those "darn" kettle chips.  They get vicious when they start calling your name.  Have a great day!
