Menus and Miles Thurs. March 6th

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!!!

Good New....I'm allowed to have Vanilla Protein once every other day!!!   Well, I didn't need to worry about my Dr. saying that sitting was making my IC worse....YEAH!  She was actually happy that I figured it out and that I wasn't eating foods on the "bad" list.  She also did a test on my pelvic and she says I have Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in one of my pelvic tendons and she wants me to go to therapy for it.  Fortunately I was just reading about this yesterday when I was checking out the sitting/cramping articles.  It seems that IC and Pelvic...  go hand in hand.  We have 4 Pelvic tendons and when she pushed on each one only one caused me severe pain so that's a blessing.

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:      A cup of Herbal Tea and a Banana
Lunch:            1 Egg, Eggbeater Whites and Cheese
Snack:            Cottage Cheese with SF Cherry Jam
Snack:            Popcorn
Dinner:           Going out to eat to a little restuarant the DH and I like.  Probably soup.

Yeah!   I'm so glad things are coming together for you.
