Menus and Miles Friday June 12th

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 while I'm not having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

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

Breakfast:  

Protein:       Matrix Chocolate Mint 35g      

Lunch:         1/2 a Ham/Swiss Sandwich from Arbys

Snack:         1 Lite Swiss Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and 6 Saltines

Dinner:      

Snack:         Nature Valley Almond Crunch Bar--YUM!! (ONLY buy the Gluten Free)  

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

Hello everyone. Good luck with all those parties Roz! Social gatherings are so hard for me. It is so much easier to stick to my daily routine.

Breakfast-crustless quiche. coffee with fat free creamer

Lunch-salad with hummus and balsamic dressing

Snack-apple and low fat cheese stick

Dinner-going out, probably a hamburger

Snack-3 Tbl. popcorn kernels

When I'm out I still get a lot of compliments and questions about WLS even being 6+ years out.  Usually I eat less at social gatherings because I feel like I have to be on my best behavior just in case there is someone there watching me.

Sounds Good!

Good Luck with all the grad Parties!  Me too on the out of my element making everything harder...This weekend we have a 5yr old b-day party and an eve at Chuck E Cheese.  I know temptations will be everywhere.  Fingers crossed my will power holds tuff!

B- Protein Coffee

L-Seafood Salad 1/2 cup & slice Colby cheese.

D- Tuna all picked out!

Vits and water slacking on both need to step it up...

Oh and Zumba yesterday was very fun.  Think that's going to be my new goto.

Hope you did good at your get togethers!

Sounds Good!

Drove Teke this morning before the rain started.  It has rained off and on since about noon.  I did a bunch of shopping (I hate shopping) but I ended up finding some new tennis shoes, getting groceries and SF syurp so I am set for the weekend. 

decaf protein coffee 33g
kale, eggbeaters, cheese
lemon tea protein  13g
burger patty, broccoli casserole
lemon tea protein  13g
steak, salad
protein shake  23g

I used to be a shopaholic but I don't do much shopping any more. When DH has a ballgame close to Pittsburgh I go to the mall instead of watching his ballgame (I know I'm bad) but I am way to fussy since I'm in smaller sizes.   I think I tried on about 30 tops and only bought 1 summer and 1 winter one (love sale racks now).

Sounds Great!
