Menus and Miles Sunday Dec. 20th

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!!! Hope you are having an Awesome Day so far!! My stoma*****ision seems to be healing well.  I have been having a little trouble with my breathing and have a nuisance cough.  I'm going to call my PCP in the morning and see if I can go in for a breathing treatment. My scales have hit the bottom of my 3 point comfort zone.  My appetite is slowly coming back so I expect the scale to move up slightly. Since I haven't had sweets the past week or so I'm hoping to carry that through the holidays.    I'm going to try drinking a Protein Drink today but I don't think I can do it the first thing this morning. It's chilly here and  I need warmth in my tummy until I get moving a little more. 

Maintenance 7+ years

I don't remember if you are a lemon tea lady but I really like it hot with a peach tea generic crystal light if you need something warm in your tummy.

Drove Teke, getting ready to decorate the tree (I know all you folks who have had yours up for a month already, but we always put the tree up on my DD's Birthday, today)

decaf protein coffee  33g
turkey bacon, eggbeaters, cheese
Caribbean cooler protein  13g
leftover chicken/celery, green beans
lemon tea protein  13g
fish, salad
protein shake or hot chocolate 33g

That sounds good Price.  I had to give up my Lemon Tea because of the caffeine.  The Mint Cookie doesn't bother my bladder.

Sounds Good!

Take care of yourself, Roz.
