Menus and Miles Sunday March 15th
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!
Good Morning LW's!!!!
I got up early and ready for the day!! I was taking a quiz on AOL on Protein this morning and this answer caught my eye: Our bodies don't store proteins the way they store carbs and fats. That's why you need a steady supply of protein every day. In order to be successful after WLS Protein HAS to be your food/drink of choice!! If you are like me you have trouble eating a lot of food so that's where "GOOD WHEY" Protein Drinks come in.
Maintenance: 6+ years out and started the new year right on target!!!

Hope you had fun!!

It makes me so happy to be reading your menus!!!
I'm glad I found that quiz this morning. It really worries me that posters are looking at my menu and thinking they aren't important. I really have to watch what I eat without my Protein Drinks. They make life so much easier.
Sounds Great!

Miles: This is a big one for me, I walked 4 miles with my four year old and a dog in tow. I think juggling those two used up significantly more energy than the walk itself, but for a first time exercising since the WLS, I was pretty proud of my self.
