Lisa - I notice you post your foods, but not your calories.  It may well be that you count them, but just don't post them.  I find counting my calories is a MUST.  It was when I was losing and it is even more important now that I'm maintaining.  Just a thought.

I DID IT!!!!!  This morning I climbed one flight of stairs at work - first stairs I have climbed since my surgery just before Christmas.  I'm so pleasaed!!!!!!!!!!  I was breathing a little hard (but not much) and for a few seconds after I reached the top my legs were a tiny bit wobbly, but that didn't last long.  It seems my energy/stamina came back almost overnight.

FOOD:
B - Sunsweet bite size prunes - 56 cal
      Health Wise choc drink - 80 cal
      Nature's Path hot oatmeal - cranberry - 150 cal
      Unjury unflavored protein powder - 80 cal
S - HW choc drink - 80 cal
      HW choc drink - 80 cal
L - Hormel lean smoked ham - 225 cal
      HW choc drink - 80 cal
      Finn multigran thin crisps - 40
S - HW aloha mango smoothie & peach mango drink powders - 180 cal
D - Seafood gumbo (without rice) - 182 cal
      HW choc drink - 80 cal
      Hard boiled egg white - 17 cal
      Orville Redenbachers smart pop - 100 cal


CALS - 1454               CARBS - 177g               PROTEIN - 190g

Have a delightful weekend - Valentines Day (remember the health of your physical heart) and Superbowl Sundy

 Hi HappyLapbaner,

I do track calories, just don't post them because I'm half asleep when I'm planning my meals.  Just planning is a good thing for me. I use OH's health tracker on most days.  -- I agree, it helps big time.

Congrats Happy!!!
Work those new thighs, but don't over due it.

Thanks for the good advice - must admit I can get bogged down in "If a little does a little good then a lot will do a lot of good" and that just isn't always the case!!!!

Morning to All
It's raining and I haven't done a thing except drink my morning coffee.  I am planning to run to Wal-Mart.  Out of eggs and need to pick up a few other essentials.  I will take my vitamins and a 32 oz water before leaving the house.  Cardio and menu will begin when I return.  Oh yeah and I must plan my menu for the day.  I will edit upon return.  Take care Lisa, the scale is a fickle friend and congrats Happy.  
It's raining here with the hopes of snow but it could be worse. 
So I appreciate today and hope for a better tomorrow.

1:30 Steak and bell peppers over romaine with vinigarette

3:00 Coffee with the girls at Church WW Ice Cream Bar

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Yesterday was a great BOTT day for me.  Although I did plan my mini-meals evenly spaced, I still ended up waiting too long on one and having to eat two together to get them all in.  Thankfully it was not a munchie day.

The scale is not my friend today either.  After a great month in January with a 10 lb loss, the scale showed a 2 lb gain this week.  With all the munchie days this week, I feel like the gain had to happen.  Hopefully I have this under control now and the remainder of February will show another loss.

My plan is as follows:

1. Weigh****chers Fiesta Quesadilla
2. EAS Chocolate Protein drink
3. Eggplant Parmesan
4. EAS Chocolate Protein drink
5. Pork and brussel sprouts
6 Chocolite/soy milk/frozen fruit shake

Totals are:
1201 calories
97      carbs
49      fat
106   Protein

Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Friday!

Happy Friday Botters!
I'm late posting, up and out of the house early.  I'll be hitting the gym tonight.  My food plan:
Breakfast - yogurt w/kashi lean
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - 1/4 c chicken salad, broth
Dinner - TJ's buffalo burger w/sweet potato fries
Snack - fage w/s.f. caramel
Hope that everyone has a great day!
