Menus and Miles Saturday Feb. 28th

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.

I feel I need to repeat this:  I am a FIRM believer in Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them occasionally while I'm having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

So tonight is my first big event since surgery.  My DH and I are going out of town to my sisters and attending a formal party.  My sister is brining a meat/cheese/pickle tray and making reduced sugar cookies (I might have a bite).  I'll be dancing the night away! I'm going to stay on point for my food intake and burn up some extra calories on the dance floor.  I keep reminding myself 2 oz of protein and 1/4 to 1/2 cup pureed vegetables is supper! Happy Saturday Everyone!!!

I gotta start tracking this for real I have no idea of the carbs/calories, and only a general idea of the protein.  It just seems like so much work to even get in food...

B- Ham & Cheese Omelet well about 2 square inches of one.

L- couple thin slice deli ham

S- 1 oz smoked salmon

D- Orange cream Syntrax shake w/ almond milk - 24 G Protein (1st time Ill post review)

S(9pm)- Hubby just broke into the tuna sashimi filet I picked up today and I took 1 oz. Oh my gosh good!!! 

I know the rest of my food is protein, but I honestly have no idea the qtys.  How do you all figure out tat kind of stuff?

I read all my labels; measure my food and if there is no label I have a list (that I got from Brigham Young's Women's Website VSG Diet) it has a listing of types of food, serving sizes and lists protein, carbs, etc) and if that doesn't work I do a Google!  I hope that helps!

Took it easy since my stomach was giving me issues. I don't think it was anything too bad but keeping an eye on things.
