Menus and Miles Monday Nov. 9th

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!

DH got home very tired but safe and sound.

Linda

I think it's probably best to do it know so she can make the decisions.

We haven't done anything with my Mom's apartment since we took her to the nursing home.  My brother warned us years ago it was his house (she lived above his garage but it was originally where we all grew up).  Mom gave me everything I want so he can get rid of everything as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds Good!
