Menus and Miles Monday Sept. 21

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!

Proud of you getting rid of the Sugar Cookies!!!   Eating at night is hard for me too and I always want something carby.  I'd drink a Protein Drink if it wasn't for having to get up several times during the night to go to the bathroom.

Sounds Good!

Haha- I already have to get up at night once if I drank something it would be two or three times!!

Me too!   I drink a lot of Vanilla Tea.  My bladder Dr. told me what brand to drink and it really calms my bladder but it is also relaxing before bed and it takes longer so drink it because it's hot.
