Menus and Miles Monday July 13th

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!

Morning LW's!! I went and got my Bloodwork done this morning.  The only took 11 tubes today for some reason.  She went over the list and the important ones seemed to be on there so I didn't question it. When I get the results back and compare it to my original then I'll talk to my PCP about any that might be missing.  I can't wait for the results!

DH has an MRI scheduled for Friday morning. He is able to walk on his leg for a short distance but he still in a lot of pain.

Yes...the house, yard, etc. can always wait when the grandkids are around!

I need to make something sweet that I can eat without feeling guilty. 

Sounds Good!

I loved those flourless peanut butter cookies, too much, I'm afraid.  I would eat them frozen straight from the freezer, lol.

Sorry your DH is still in pain.  Men can be not very good patients.

I have trained a staff on the new electronic medical record, gone to get hay and help unload it and just about finished the billing.  Now on to muscle pump.

DH was in bad shape last night.  The DGSons came yesterday and he took them to the local playground.  He said he just sat and watched them but I'm sure from my own experience the 3 yr. old needs help on some of the things.

All this talk about lasagna has made me hungry for the real thing....LOL. DH would never settle for an imitation.

Sounds Good Busy Lady!!
