Menus and Miles Mon. March 17th

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!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  DGD was so excited when I picked her up after Kindergarten because the Leprechaun had left footprints and sprinkled gold dust in their classroom when they had a bathroom break.  He even ate jelly beans out of the teachers jar....LOL 

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!!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today has been a "regroup" day as the homemade pizza from last night did a number on my stomach.  I had on and off abdominal cramping all last night and was nauseous.  I just feel a bit drained today. I didn't do so good with my protein or carbs either.  Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

MENU:

B – Click! Coffee Protein made with 12 ounces of Lactaid skim milk (23 g protein, 24 g carb) 

L – 2 oz. country-style pork ribs and 1/4-cup mashed sweet potato

S – Syntrax Iced Tea protein (23 g protein)

D – Wonton Egg Drop Soup   

VITES: done

WATER: 32 oz.

MILES: none

Hope you are feeling better!  Sometimes I can eat pizza and sometimes not. I think it depends how much grease I use when spreading the crust.

Your menus not too bad for not feeling well.

Thanks, Roz.  I am feeling a little better today... just gassy.  It's the usual thing with me when I have my tummy troubles.

Awww - that's so cute! 

Back on track today.  I had a dream I GAINED 40 lbs overnight.. ACK!  Not a dream - a NIGHTMARE!! 

I found an old picture of me with my old motorcycle.  It sits on my dresser as a reminder of where I DON'T want to go again....

Yes, the protein drinks plug me up too... I've tried a couple of things... I just need to be more diligent with them.

B - protein coffee

L - 5 leftover pieces of steak and 3 pieces of cold bacon...

S - cashews

D - not sure.  I have some hamburg I need to figure out what to do with.

S - fuzzy navel protein drink w/miralax

Vits:  yes

Water:  working on it...

Oh my that would be a NIGHTMARE!!!!!!  Did you eat something bad before you went to bed?

Do you ever hold up clothes and think there is no way they will fit?  I think of this practically every morning when I pull underwear out of the drawer.  They looks so darn small....LOL. I wonder if the fear ever goes away.  I also wonder if this will ever feel natural.  I look at friends of mine who have gained weight back and I feel so bad for them.  I have 2 friends who are really tall and they have gained but carry it really well and look fantastic but it's my friends who are shorter it's  really noticeable on them. I'd be in that category where only a few pounds can make such a big difference.

Sounds Good Jody1

Happy St. Patty's Day, hope everyone had a great weekend!

I had a fairly good weekend, got my walk in yesterday before it rained, back to the gym today. Managed to lose 4.6 lbs my 1st week back on track, so at least I know it still works even if it's not as fast as before.

B: Coffee w/non dairy creamer....1/2 hr later-Protein shake w/1 cup unsweetened almond milk 

L: 3 oz Tuna w/1 boiled egg & 1 tbsp Miracle Whip

S: cheese stick

D: 4 oz Roasted chicken breast & 5 asparagus spears

S: Protein shake w/1 cup unsweetened almond milk & 1 scoop of Miralax

X: 35 mins elliptical, 20 mins treadmill & abs

W: Working on it

V: Done

Cal: 820              Carb: 21          Protein: 105       Fat: 35

Good for you!!!   I'm not sure it ever stops working as long as we do High Protein low Carbs.   "BAD Carbs are the killer!  That's how most of us gained our weight to begin with.

Sounds like a Great Protein day!

Like the green font!! 

Anyways, top of the mornin' to ya!! Or happy St Patrick's day. We don't really make a big thing of it in England... I suspect it's a bigger thing your side of the pond, although we did have celebratory Danish (Danish for the Irish, I know it makes no sense).

Turns out the Danish didn't cause me any bloating.  I don't think I'll OD on them though as in my last company always had them as dessert for their catered lunches and we always had left over Danish... as always if you have an abundance of something, you don't prize it quite so much.

Plus 20g from a rice and chicken salad I forgot about mid-morning for a protein total of 125g.  The rice was horribly undercooked, so I ate as little of that as possible (it was a store bought salad).
