Menus and Miles Monday December 8th

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.

Hopefully this week will calm down enough that I can do my "job" of posting M&M.  Thanks to everyone who took over...I'm so glad you did it !!!  

2 cheer Competitions and watching the grandsons have been keeping me busy. It's also been wrecking my Menu Plans too!! It has to be harder on those of you that are younger and are constantly making or buying food for everyone.  This weekend reminded me of the "pull into the drive through days". DH and I try really hard not to eat a lot of fast food but on cheer weekends that's really hard.

My cupboards are pretty bare right now and not much to choose from.  Hopefully making a stop at the grocery store on the way home.

Maintenance:   6+ years out!!!

Breakfast:

Competitions AND the holidays is a double whammy.  Makes it hard to make good choices. 

It's the cold that gets me.  Harder to exercise and craving warm carby stuff.  Trying to do beans and not the pasta and stuff.

Heading to muscle pump soon.

decaf protein coffee  33g
protein low carb pancake
lemon tea protein  13g

3 cookies at a meeting

We won't have any more competitions until January so now I just need to prepare myself for the holiday.  All of the cooking and snacking....ugh! 

Hope you enjoyed the cookies.  I've been noticing that things don't taste as god as they look.  I'm trying really hard to not to take the second bite if I don't like it.

Sounds like a Good Protein day.
