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

Happy belated birthday Roz.  Sounds like you had a nice celebration.  My DH's birthday was yesterday.  I grilled strip steaks, made scalloped potatoes and deviled eggs.  Also made him a Pineapple Upside Down Cake.  I need to freeze most of the cake, but not sure it would freeze well with the pineapple.  It's not tempting to me so not a problem having it around, but he doesn't need to eat cake every day either. 

We had a storm Friday morning and the power went out about 4:00 a.m.  We were gone all day and were hoping power was back on when we got home.  It wasn't and we didn't have power until 11:00 Saturday.  We were so thankful to have it back on. 

Friday, we went with a group to Arrow Rock, MO to see South Pacific at a theater.  Lunch was at a famous tavern.  OMG....way too much food.  I passed my apple cobbler to DH.  I could hardly stay awake for the first part of the play. 

Today's eats:

Muscle Milk Organic

2 Laughing Cow; Melba toast rounds

Tilapia; salad
