Menus and Miles Sunday April 19th

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!

Morning LW's!! Just a quickie before leaving for Church.  I will catch you all later today.  Life is soooo busy!

Hope you ALL have an Awesome and Successful Day!!!!

Price - seems it's been raining a lot there!  Make it stop before the end of June ;)

yeah, our driving event was cancelled this weekend.  I have 2 events in May that I hope we don't do in the rain.  Better than the snow/sleet I competed in last Nov but still sure does put a damper on the fun, pun intended.

I know you want a dry wedding.

May I ask how you make decaf protein coffee?  

May I ask how you make decaf protein coffee?  

Sure.  I brew a 5 c coffee maker with decaf.  then I mix 1.5scoops of protein powder with warm water, about 3/4 c.  Then I use that to "cream" my coffee.  My favorite is 1/2 mint cookie, 1/2 vanilla but almost anything works, choco, vanilla, caramel, etc.  Some folks use a milk alternative  instead of water and it probably does make it creamier bu****er works for me and less calories.

Thank you.  I added a tbsp of protein powder to a hot cup of coffee but it didn't dissolve right, so I'll try mixing it with warm water first.  I drink my coffee black so I'll just use the unflavored powder.

Yeah, just putting it in the coffee straight doesn't work very well.  Not sure how it will be if you drink coffee black.  Even the unflavored, isn't tasteless.  Good luck.  Sure is great to get a good dose of protein right off the bat.

Sounds like a GREAT Protein day!!
