Menus and Miles Friday May 29th

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 Friday LW's!!!  Sorry about not starting the post yesterday!  Thanks for doing it Gina.....!!!!!!  Wednesday eve I got a piece of fatty steak stuck and was miserable the next morning.  When DH left for work at 6:30 I promised him I would call the Dr. to see if I should go to the ER or to our Gastroenterology Dr. who has helped DH and I before.  I finally fell to sleep after a long night and when I woke up it was gone.  Since I had all intentions of calling off of work I had to shower and get to work quick.  I ended up working a half day and went home because I was to exhausted to even deal with life...lol.  Feeling great today and trying to catch up.

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

Breakfast:

Busy day here.  Sorry to hear about you being sick.  Just shows that even as we get further out, we still have to chew, chew, chew. 

I am spending the day getting detoxed from carbs, esp. sugar.  I had gotten lazy and now am paying for it.  So an all or mostly all carb free day.
