Menus and Miles Wed. Nov. 12th

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.

Wonderful Wednesday! Well I have been enjoying my first Protein Drink in months!  That first drink felt soooo good going down!  I took a pill that is suppose to coat my bladder and 3 pills that are like Rolaids for your bladder.  I remember last time I tried I didn't have pain at the beginning but it build up after a few days but I'm hoping the extra meds helps. I know one thing the Protein drink will go before I start using carbs to calm it down like I have the last few times!!   Our Big Billing is done for another month...YEAH!!!  Now I have to get organized so that the Holiday Season, partying days, absent employees, and stressed clients don't set me over the edge.

I was cramping by afternoon.  I did have another one today but it will be the last.  I am going to wait until it calms down and then try the Lemon Tea.  It could be the Mint Cookie has caffeine in it or it's just the chocolate flavoring. I thought for sure I'd gain my weight back without but that hasn't happened.  I just hate eating so much through out the day to get all of my Protein in.  Yesterday the drink held me over until lunch.

Sounds Good!
