Menus and Miles Tuesday Aug. 11th

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 Good 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!

Hi Roz!! Eating over the weekend wasn't too good but I'm back on track.

Today:

B - coffee x2 w/creamer

L - 2 small chicken thighs w/spaghetti sauce and cheese (early about 10:30)

L2 - about 12:30 - 1/2 chicken breast with ranch dressing/bacon/cheese baked - oh yummy!

D - no idea but doubt I'll be real hungry

Vits:  yes

Water:  doing pretty good!

We ate out way to much over the weekend.  I tried to make good choices but my scales jumped up on Monday.

Sounds Good but you should probably eat a little more.

At your Library?  They would have been crazy not to hire you with all of your years of experience.  DH is saying he isn't getting a part time job when he retires but I think he might change his mind.

Sounds Good!

Yes at the same library.  They had to open the job to the public and take applications and do it completely fair.

My DH said he wasn't working part time either after he retired and he didn't until he started helping a local restaurant cook BBQ and Brunswick stew - he works about 3 hours a week and has enjoyed it so far.

Hi guys,
Having Internet issues here on vacation. If you don't see the daily accountability post go ahead and start it without me.  Thanks.
