Menus and Miles Tuesday Nov. 3

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!

Morning LW's!!! Getting way to much sleep at our house with DH being away. DGKids go to bed at 9 and don't get up until 7. DD tells me I can turn the TV on in the bedroom but I just can't bring myself to do it. The 7 yr. old was yawning and said she was tired this morning. I'm thinking no way can you be tired it has to be from no exercise during that 10 hour sleep fest.

I am enjoying them but tonight I get an evening to myself...YEAH! I'm going to grab some KFC or something and spend the evening watching some TV shows I have recorded. Tomorrow eve (Thurs.) I have 4 of them so I'm going to take advantage of this evening.

I probably waste a lot of money going to a buffet but I prefer that over ordering something from a menu.

Sounds Good!

My starting weight was 235 I am now 184. WHEW in 3 months...I have 44 more lbs to get to goal!!! So excited and also feel silly for worrying so much. In an effort to keep focused and motivated I will be posting more often. The menus help and make me accountable.
