Menus and Miles Thursday June 8th

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:          Small Wendy's Chili

Drove Teke this morning, hurray.  then one of my staff's children is coming to learn to ride Poppy.  So both ponies got some work.  Now it is storming again.  I think it has rained every day for 2 weeks.

It was pouring earlier and now the sun is shining like crazy.  I bet the kids are having a great time!  Our 10 yr. old wants to have a horse farm.  for her birthday her Mom took her to a ride one.

Sounds like a great day! Thanks for telling us to plant bushes different times!!

Looks like rain then the sun is out.  Ugh.  I'm trying to follow Roz's lead and avoid those carbs.  Today has been a banner day.  For the first time ever, I made a protein shake with water.  I've always used skim milk or almond milk because I was sure it would taste nasty in water.  I'm making a new recipe for dinner.  Hope it's as good as it sounds.
