Menus and Miles Wed. April 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!

Happy Over the Hump and TAX Day!!  I'm having an Awesome Day....How about you?

Maintenance:   6+ years out and started the new year right on target!!!

Breakfast:  Matrix Mint Cookie 35g

Snack:        6 grapes

Lunch:        Hot Dog (DH showed up for lunch)

Snack:       80 Calorie Light & fit Greek Cherry Non Fat Yogurt

Snack:       1/2 a donut....Slight Dump.....!!!!

Dinner:       Not sure but definitely Protein

Snack:        3 TB. of unpopped Popcorn   (didn't start this until I was on Maintenance)

I'm having a great day! Today will be day 3 of my new workout program and this morning I am already down 1.8 lbs from Sunday.  I am so excited!  I can't wait to do todays video! :)

Breakfast: Matrix Mint Cookie shake with Carbmaster Milk (34 Protein)

Lunch: Crack Slaw: (25 protein)

Snack: Cheese Stick (5 protein)

Dinner: ?? Protein of some kind, but I don't know.  Maybe fish??

Water: Doing much better! On track

Vitamins: On track

Exercise: Day 3 of T25 and I can't wait!  I won't be able to do my 3 mile walk today because we are taking our dog to his first obedience class. :)  That will probably be a workout all in itself. :) HA!

My DD did the T25.  I'm not sure what she is doing now.  She was always my thinnest one until her senior year and then she was having some boy problems and gained weight.  Now she exercises a lot and she is the tinniest thing ever. 

Sounds Good!!!

I hope someday someone refers to me as the tinniest thing ever! :)

Hi Roz

I did get back on the treadmill last night for 55 minutes 3.1 miles - and I'm SORE!  But - it's all good!  Not sure about tonight - we'll see.  Nicole and I are running errands but then again I've been getting on it later at night too.

Today:

B - coffee and a protein coffee

L - 2 hamburg patties cooked in the hot sauce stuff again.  I used a different sauce than yesterday and it was HOT!  I didn't eat all the 2 and don't know why I thought it was a good idea to even cook the 2nd one...

D - not sure.  

Vits:  yes

Water:  working on it.  Found some raspberry tea - no sugar/carbs - it's very good.  

haha...I always over cook!  I guess you will have to eat it tomorrow too.

Hope dinner is Protein!

Oh yes- dinner will be protein! 

Hello! Having a good day here. Mailed my taxes. 

I am now cooking and planning my meals for the next few days. Working 12 hours tomorrow and Friday. I do so much better when I have things ready to go. Whether or not I get to stop and eat it, is another story! Not feeling my protein today, into veggies. Need to get a shake in!

B half of protein coffee and a protein waffle with sugar free syrup

L swiss chard satueed with onions garlic and a slice of proscuitto, ran out of room for my chicken

S green and red pepper strips/ about time protein strawberry with almond milk

D hubby wanted burgers, so I had a cheese burger, no bun

vites done

liquids 72 oz

miles walked around the block today, a little more than a mile

I use to love the rush of not doing my taxes until the 15th but the older I got the more stress it called me.....LOL.  Now that I can do them on line I'm always done with mine and DD's by the end of Jan.

I do better when I'm prepared to.  I can't wait until morning to pack my lunch or I get lazy and grab the simplest thing.  Fortunately I've had leftovers this week to pack.

Sounds Good!

My taxes have been done since the beginning of March. I just hate sending 1% of my pay to the city I live in, so I wait until today to pay it.
