Menus and Miles Fri. Mar. 14th

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!!

Friday......!!!!!!!  It's going to be in the 50's here today......!!  I told Linda E. that's no coat weather for us but I'm sure that is probably very cold yet for some of our LW's.  There will probably even be some "crazies" with shorts on today!

I had one slice of Pizza Hut pizza and a bread stick last night and my scales are up....how much did I enjoy the pizza and was it worth it...YES but today will be a higher protein day!!!

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

Protein:       1.5 Scoops of Matrix Mint Cookie  37g
Breakfast:   1 Whole Egg, 1/4 cup Eggbeater Whites and 2 Tbs. Diced Ham
Lunch:         Tuna Salad and 6 Saltines
Snack:         1/3 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese, 1 Tbs. SF Strawberry Jam
Snack:         Nature Valley Almond Crunch Bar
Dinner:

Mmm pizza, it'll be a long time before I can enjoy that so please savor it for me!

beautiful day, went for a long walk with my best friend this am, it was still cold but so refreshing!

b- missed it again, I'm thinking I'm a later in the day eater now, so we'll see how that plays out. I go back to work tomorrow, so I'll have to figure out a better schedule:)

L string cheese stick wrapped in a slice of turkey breast and a tsp of olive oil mayo

s plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup with pb2 and. Packet of sweetener 

d leftover chili from last night 1/2 cup

s protein shake

miles- about 4 so far, my daughter will want to walk after school so probably another mile and a half

I've seen that olive oil mayo and need to try it.  How are the sugars in it?

It says total carb

Not sure why that cut off! Says total carb less than 1, not a significant source of fiber, sugars and a list of vitamins

The pizza didn't show up on the scales this morning (Saturday) so I'm hoping I missed the bullet....LOL

Sounds Good!

It started off on the cold side this morning with it being in the 30s but has since rebounded into the low 60's.  I've got my windows open right now.  I didn't dare weigh myself after yesterday's Carb Fest... LOL!  I am pushing to get a lot more protein in today.

Have you tried the Dannon's Light & Fit Greek Yogurt?  80 calories/8 carbs/ 12 protein....it is delish!

Hi Roz!

Warmer here today too (50's) but WINDY, which makes it feel a bit colder....Busy day at work.  Going to see the kids/grandkids tonight and tomorrow.  I am thinking of heading back to VA on Sunday, but not sure yet - keeping an eye on the weather.

Started my protein coffees again (sorry i didn't post yesterday - CRAZY day).  

B - protein coffee w/chocolate protein and splash of SF cinnamon syrup

L - leftover chili w/cheese and 5 wheat crackers (yum and now it's all gone!)

D - no idea

Vits:  ok

water:  ok

Glad to hear you are trying the Protein Coffee again!  I really miss my Protein drinks.

Sounds Good!
