Menus and Miles Tuesday April 1st

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!!

April Fools Day!  I forgot to remind DH so I hope he remembered to get someone before they got him.  They are a group of pranksters at his work and it sounds like he is the ring leader which doesn't surprise me at all.

My Menu is not MY typical WLS Menu: I am a strict believer in Protein drinks but at the present time I have to limit them to 1 every other day because I have been diagnosed with IC (Painful Bladder Syndrome).  Success means:  Protein first then add other foods!!!!

Protein:         Shake made with:  1 Scoop Jay Robb Vanilla and 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
Lunch:           1 Egg and 1/4 cup Eggbeater Whites Scrambled
Snack:           2 Slices Deli Ham and 2 slices Baby Swiss Cheese rolled up
Snack:          
Snack:           1 Laughing Cow Lite Swiss Cheese Wedge and 6 Saltines
Dinner:           Either Beef Tips or Steak with steamed broccoli and cauliflower
