Menus and Miles Thursday Oct. 1st

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!

Today's My Managers last day.  Wondering what the plan is for my future????  Last night I made Ham and Bean soup in the crock-pot.  It made me hungry all night long.

DD's beau called and asked her dad for her hand.  Of course he said yes.  I guess a wedding is in our future. 

I answered your post twice yesterday and both times it went to an apology screen.

That's so exciting about your DD! Did he pop the question yet?
