Menus and Miles Wed. July 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!

I think the weekend is suppose to be dry here but hot.  I will be at a driving clinic in SC and it is suppose to be around 100.  Really hot for people and ponies to be working!!! I'll be hitting the fluids full time.

Meeting this morning, muscle pump this evening and it hasn't rained but been looking like it all day.  The crew was suppose to come remove the tree that fell today but they haven't shown up.  I imagine the last days rain has slowed them getting here.  I will be very upset if they are here tomorrow when I finally have a chance to drive my pony.  I'm sure he will be upset with trucks, chippers, saws ect. so no driving while they are working.

Rain....ugh.  I went to Walmart this morning and while I was in the store rain fell in torrents.  By the time I checked out it was only a light rain.  Of course, my umbrella was in the car.

I finished a small quilt this afternoon and started another one.  Roz, you asked me a few days ago if I machine or hand quilt.  I machine quilt.  When I first started learning quilting, I thought I would do hand quilting but it didn't take long for me to decide I don't like hand quilting at all.  I would never get a quilt done.

S:  Click shake

L:  Swiss cheese; pork rinds (not really liking them)

S:  Kind bar

D:  Salmon patties; peas
