Menus and Miles Saturday May 4th

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.

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

My DD#3 called me several times during the night crying.  Having shingles, being on Percocet  and being away from home with her 2 little ones is not a good combination.   Fortunately she only has 2 teams competing this weekend and a couple of the parents are helping her out.  I told her to stay off the internet.  Reading about the shingles has her completed panicked.  She is so afraid her little one is going to get it because he hasn't been vaccinated yet.  The side of her face is tingling but she said the spots on her neck seem to be shrinking but she is covered under her hair on the side.

We are going to start putting grandson's swing set together today.  I can't wait to see their faces when they come home.

Welcome to M&M!!!!   I've been on vacation the last few weeks and I don't think we have met.

Your Menu sounds healthy.  Since you aren't drinking Protein drinks do you have any idea of how many Proteins you are getting in?

Smart adjusting your menu when you know you have triggers to set you off.

I always get over 65 and up, my plan just requires 65, but I would like to be getting as many as I can.  i have gotten up to 80 without shakes, but I have to drink skim milk twice a day to do it. I aim for 70 to 80 right now

Aw Roz... I have you and your family in my prayers and I'm sending y'all a big ((hug)) 

Hungry day today.  I'm hoping to get some protein shakes soon although I'm not sure how filling they'll be.

Thank you for the Prayers and the (((HUG)))....we need them!!

When you start on the Protein Drinks think of them as food,  Some get in the bad habit of drinking them close to or with a meal which pushes the food through to fast.   Don't talk yourself out of thinking you aren't full and then wanting another snack. Your body will adjust after awhile.

Sounds Good....love the Protein total!

I hope the meds she's on takes care of it ASAP. Poor thing.  : (

I need to try the pork rinds.  I use to like them when I was growing up.
