Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!!!

Off to finish up at least half of the people on my list!!!!  All of the mall walking should do me some good.  I feel like this past week has been sitting at my desk and not getting any exercise at all.  It is way to cold to go out to take even a short afternoon walk.  I'm going early hoping the mall won't be too busy.

wow, you are out early today, Roz.  Hope your shopping is successful.  I have to do some too this morning then come home and cook something for the Carriage Club dinner tonight.  No walking here.  Suppose to be getting about an inch of rain.

I've been doing better this week at leaving food on my plate (save or throw out).  Cleaning my plate is an old old habit that has been creeping back into my life as my restriction has gotten less.  One habit that I certainly don't need.  Last night I stopped when I had enough to no more be hungry, not stuffed.  Only problem is that if we eat at 6-7p, I am hungry again by 8:30-9 so I have my shake but then sometimes am still looking for something before bed.  Mostly then I just go to bed so I won't eat anything else.

After I listened to the weather I decided I had better go early.  When I went into the mall there wasn't any snow and when I came out my van was covered.  DH says we have about 3" already.  I hate driving in the winter so it took me awhile to get home.  I'm sure I made a lot of drivers following me angry (I hear DH complaining about that) but there was a whole other lane if they wanted to pass me.

Most days I don't clean my plate during the meal but then I go back later and fini**** if it's protein.  The carbs get pitched.

I'm always hungry later in the evening too.  That's when I make my plain popcorn.

That's why God invented the internet so we don't have to brave the outdoors anymore!! ;-)

Anyways, it wasn't a great protein day... I double checked Naproxen and it can cause constipation... really??  It never had that effect on me pre-DS and I used to take it a fair bit.  Anyway I went a bit mad on carbs to try and get things moving.  I'm off the Naproxen, it's paracetamol all the way if I need anything from now on!! ;-)

I may have some extra cheese later on.

I totally agree!!   I ordered my DGD a black, silver, and gold  pullover from Victoria Secret and they sent me a gray, neon green, and neon pink one.  I called and complained so they said they would send out the right one.  The second one came all black with black sequin stripes around it. It looked like an old ladies shirt.  In fact I have a sweater almost like it and we could dress like twins (only I have wrinkles to go with mine...lol).  I called them again plus sent them an e-mail this time.  There isn't much left on their website so I had to make a trip to their store.  It's about 1.5 hours away but I HAD to have something from VS on the tree for her.  I had to spend more but she is going to be happy so I guess that's all that counts.

You definitely did go mad.....  I hope it helps.

Laying low today. Got my butt kicked the past 2 days at work.

It's slow and boring at our office.  All of our clients must have all of their thoughts on Christmas.

Sounds Good!

Hi Roz!  I think the county lost their plow trucks.  6" of snow and no plowing.. ugh!  At least my driveway got plowed!

I ventured out shopping.  It wasn't too bad.  Folks were driving super slow, so yes.. it happens everywhere. I really wasn't happy with the way my AWD Durango handled the snow.  I may as well have had a rear-wheel-drive truck.  I think the tires are more "performance" than practical.

B - coffee

L - 1 piece of pizza (leftover from last night)

S - skewer of steak

D - was supposed to make a pot pie soup, but not sure now

Vits:  yes

water:  hmm - a little low

We got 7" of snow and our SIL said the roads were pretty good.  DH put winter tires on my van and it went great in the snow. He wanted me to get a new SUV but I made him hold off until winter passes because I know I'm not scared in my van. I want to feel comfortable with a vehicle before winter starts.  If it was up to me I would never buy anything.

Did you eat enough today?
