Menus and Miles Sat. March 8th

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!!!

Morning LW's!!!   Sorry I didn't post yesterday....thanks Jody for posting!!  I was in trainings all day.  I'm not complaining the speaker was pretty good.  It was called Bridges to Poverty.  I got a lot of great ideas for reaching out to our clients and making them comfortable enough to ask for help.  Some of them come in demanding help but the majority of our clients are very young and are embarrassed to ask for help. 

Hope you all of an Awesome Weekend!!

My Menu is not your typical WLS Menu: I am a strict believer in Protein drinks but at the present time I am not allowed to have them because I have been diagnosed with IC (Painful Bladder Syndrome). Success means:  Protein first then add other foods!!!!

Breakfast:     1 Egg, Eggbeater Whites and Cheese
Lunch:            1/2 a Small Wendy's Chili
Snack:            Cottage Cheese Blue Berry Protein Drink
Snack:            Popcorn
Dinner:           Hot Ham and Cheese on a hot dog bun with 1 tbs. baked beans

Calories     Protein      Net Carbs      Fat    Sugar

Glad your training was good.  It's nice when you get something out of those events.

I've eaten way too many pistachios this afternoon... I won't order any more for a while although I do have a few left from the pack which I will most likely finish tomorrow!!   They're chili flavor pistachios and my lips are sore!!

Your lips are sore...that is so funny!  I haven't been able to eat things like that since WLS.  I though I  lucky enough to be able to eat the Wendy's chili but now even that is too strong.

Sounds Good!

I work for PA Childcare Information Services (CCIS).  Our office handles our County's Day Care funding for those who are eligible.  One of my jobs is to give them info on where they can get clothing, food, heath services, utility help etc. 

I love the variety and that every meal had Protein!!!!
