Menus and Miles Monday August 17th

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!

Linda

are you at the library just part time?  I bet they hated to lose you.

Yes, I am doing about 9 hours a week.  We needed to do some separation of duties for the auditor so it is working out good.  I get to do the things I like to do like counting money and balancing the bank accounts.

9 hours wouldn't be to bad.  Do you get to pick the days and hours?

I just mixed up a Protein drink and as soon as I smelled it I knew I messed up.  1/2 Mint Cookie and 1/2 Lemon tea...yuck!  1/2 gone but I'm not sure I can fini****

Sounds Good!

It will probably be Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings unless I need to be off one of those mornings.  That is when we always did the money.

I hate it when I put the Lemon TEa in my coffee by mistake.  I usually just throw it away because I know I can't drink it.

Doing my Happy Dance!!!!

Good Job!  Do it for a week or so and let me know if you notice a bigger loss.

My average is about 2 lbs a week.  I already lost 24 lbs in 9 weeks.  Just trying to stay focus and eat clean.

That's Awesome!!  The extra Protein might make it higher.
