Menus and Miles Sunday June 10th

Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!    Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER!

My Son in law put another hard drive in my computer yesterday and I finally have  some speed.  It was hard to even update it was running so slow.  I just hoped every day that no one would shut it down or the electric wouldn't go out because it took forever for it to come back on.

I've done really well this week decarbing.  How have you done???   The scale jumped back up to 119 so I claimed it on my Profile.  I was hoping when I claimed the 118 that it would continue to move down but I'm cool with it and I'm just going to continue what I'm doing.

Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period!

Breakfast:  Banana
Protein:  Matrix Mint Cookie  35g
Lunch:    I'm sure it will be fast food so I will make the best choice I can

Hi Roz & everyone!

I am so glad everyone is talking about decarbing. My stress level has been high and some days have been better than others as far as choices I have been making. Decarbing - or at least non-processed foods - is what I need to get back to. I don't feel bad if I have fruits/veggies and occ. whole grains, but the chips, etc. are my BIG downfall!

Today was "fair" as far as carbs go, I had a horrible migraine this afternoon, don't get them too much anymore. I wonder if it is because of some of the junk I had this past week.

B: egg and low carb toast
S: Syntrax lemonade
L: one low carb bread with ham, lettuce and tomato
S: chips (ugh!); pepperoni slices; popcorn; root beer float (SF root beer & light ice cream)
D: pulled pork

Totals: Cal: 1,261 Carbs144 Fat40 Protein 75 Fiber 19

So, I am going to have to get back into having two protein drinks a day. I think I feel better when I do that as well. I am so thankful to be able to come here and get a reality check on getting back in step.

Thanks Roz and everyone!
