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

Afternoon LW's!!!   The old cement porch is gone but the truck loads of dirt that were under in it is a muddy mess with all of the rain.  The wood etc. gets delivered on Tuesday...YEAH!

Hi Roz,

Happy Monday.  It has been so hot here that we are having Thunderstorms almost every afternoon.  You will have to post after pictures so we can all see the new deck.  That looked like a lot of work to get that cement up.  When we built our deck we just did it over the cement!!

Getting very nervous.  Almost all packed up - that is almost all we did this weekend other than Church and VBS last night.  I am definitely still a stress eater.

S:  Decaf Coffee

I'm a stress eater too and if I would eat Protein that would probably be ok but I want something sweet or salty. Are you excited to move?  Is it closer to your grandkids?

So funny...I asked DH if we could just build over all of the dirt that was under it and of course he said no. It seemed like it would save us some time.   My back and legs are really hurting today from picking up all of the small pieces of cement and putting them into a bucket. I felt great the day of and the day after.

It sounded good until I got to the Oreos....

We are in the same town so it is about the same to both kids houses.

Oh, if I had only stopped at the Oreos......

I bet if I did any real exercise I would be sore.  Hoping to get back to walking/jogging next week after the move is finished.  I'm going to sign up for a 5K in September so maybe that will motivate me.

Is it a nice neighborhood to walk in? I think I'd walk if I lived in a neighborhood instead of fields and back roads

It is a great neighborhood to walk in and it is actually on the road in town that I usually drive my car to so I can walk so now I can just walk out my door and down that main road.

We couldn't walk on the road in front of our house because it is a 4 lane highway and cars and trucks are always running off the edge of the road driving too fast...

Hi Roz!  You're going to love your new deck when it's done.  The rain here (in MI) is putting a damper on my porch/patio project.  

I'm determined to get this regain back off.  I have a vacation coming up in 4 months... I'd like to lose 20 lbs.  

B - coffee x2 

L - leftover casserole - was sausage and veggies.  Glad it's gone - didn't like it

D - leftover steak/lobster and rice.. I'm stuffed!

Vits:  yes

Water:  doing pretty good today.  

I'm getting sick of the rain!!  The snow didn't bother me because that's winter in PA but it's suppose to be summer in PA now...!!  I guess officially summer isn't until 6/21.

Sounds Good!

I read an article that says eating less is better than eating the same amount and exercising. Oh bother.

b-crustless quiche

s-apple

l-salad and chicken

S-handful of caramel mini rice cakes

D-hamburger and zucchini 

S-3 Tbl. Popcorn

Since I don't exercise I don't know. I think it would make me hungrier.

Sounds Good!
