Menus and Miles Saturday October 23rd

Thank you for the compliment Jody and for the advise, I am very open to all advise and suggestions.
I will read what others are doing, that is a great idea!

Glad you joined us!!!   I have never been a breakfast eater so having a protein drink on my way to work is something I really enjoy.  I'm glad to see you are open to using Protein rather than trying to get it all from food.  I've found that I lose and maintain better on at least 100g of Protein from Whey and then any food Protein I get is just an added bonus.

Thank you Roz!  Yes, I am open to protein, have been reading your posts as well as others and Gina's and have tried to even do 2 a day.  Thanks for your help and great welcome to the menus and miles crew!

Hi Roz - sorry to hear about the foamies yesterday...  I couldn't tell you the last time that happened to me.  BUT - I did have some God awful pain yesterday in my intestine yesterday.  I was hoping it was gas, but where it was situated - I just wasn't sure.  I was definitely hoping it was NOT some kind of obstruction.  Took some GAS-X and it went away!  Yea!!

B - a bunch of coffee
L - milk with double scoop choc protein
L2 - About 3 oz of chili
D - Chicken  Going to a party so I want protein in me before I go.  If there is good stuff for me to eat there, it will be a bonus.


Vits:  yes
Water:  well...
Miles:  maybe dancing again tonight

I'm glad it went away.  It didn't seem to be that you ate enough yesterday to give you so much pain.

I think I've had the foamies twice this month and both times it started 15 - 20 minutes after I ate.  I didn't think I over ate either time.

Have Fun Tonight!  It looks like we are going to enjoy a nice quite evening at home.  I might actually start sorting the clothes that I never got to last weekend.

Hi all,

I am trying out this new (to me) protein shake made from milk from grass fed cows and what I was hoping might be more healthy. I don't know if I can keep on with the amount of sugar,carebs and cals and not so much protein. I bought 3 tubs of it and will probably finish them aand see how my weight loss does while using them. the taste is fine,in fact there is no protein taste or smell...when I open the tub it smells like caramel....we shall see.
                                                               

Hey LW's-

I slept in and woke up with a sinus headache this morning so all I've had is a protein shake and it's almost 3pm here so I guess I need to go find something to eat.

I told you all that my DH has been on the wagon with me and he's doing really well.  He's lost 15 lbs in the past two weeks.  Men!!!  Anyway I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said steak would be okay and then he grinned real big and said or a big bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.  I didn't miss a beat and said I'll make you a protein shake. lol!!!!  So I guess dinner later will be steak and salad or asparagus and if he behaves himself I might just make him a frozen protein shake for a treat this evening.

B-protein shake 30g
S-none
L-3oz chicken breast, lettuce greens with s/f vinegarette, 1 crunchy sesame bread stick 15g
S-sliced strawberries w/Marzetti's s/f strawberry glaze (I think this would be great w/ the mock Fage cheesecake- I don't have any in the house today but it's on my list next time I shop)
S-2 choc/vanilla cinamon protein coffees 30g
D-protein shake 30g (ended up making DH an omelet for dinner and he go his protein shake)
S-none

I'll update later...

Enjoy the rest of your day folks.

PS-  would it be bad to have another protein drink on days when you have had 2 already??

PS-  would it be bad to have another protein drink on days when you have had 2 already??

I say no, in fact it would probably be good.  There are several of us, as we get further out, who believe  protein drinks are our "bread and butter" so to speak of successfull maintenance.  We realize it goes against the conventional wisdom of the surgeons and the nuts, but you can't argue with results.  The shakes/drinks are satisfying and assure us that we are getting in the maximum much needed quality protein.  Then your regular food is just a bonus to your totals.  I speak from experience that when I quit drinking my protein, I was not satisfied and began snacking and then it was welcome to the world of bounce back weight gain.  So we live and we learn our lessons and then we get back on track and in my case I wonder why I ever quit drinking them because I love them.  I guess I'm just a slow learner. lol. 

...Just my two cents or my 3 drinks/shakes = 120g of quality protein.

So throw another back and enjoy missminime!!!

Julie

Well, I have had the snackiest day ever! I need to get a protein drink in tonight and stop right there!
