Menus and Miles Easter Sunday April 5th

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!

Happy Easter LW's!!!   This is a dangerous holiday as far as eating goes.....keep your eyes on your goal!!!!

Yesterday I posted that I had taken DH to the ER and he had the worse flu I had ever seen.  We made a second trip to the ER yesterday afternoon and they did a CT scan and he has a bowel obstruction and not the flu.  Thank GOD he finally agreed for me to take him!!  After they put the drains in to pump out his stomach and some relaxers he slept until 4:30 this morning which he desperately needed. I just stopped home to get a shower so I thought I would touch base with you all. 

My sister is having Easter so that is one pressure off of my shoulders and my DD's decided to postpone the family Easter Egg Hunt and the baskets that we give them.  We never would have asked them to do that but we are so happy they made the decision to wait until we could be there.

Hi There,

Home from the horse show today.  What a ton of horrible eating I did.  I tried very hard to eat my weight in chocolate and probably came close.  I hate to think what the scale will yell at me in the morning.  But I am home again and back in charge.
