Menus and Miles Monday Jan. 11th

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!

Happy Day here LW's!  My work is ALL caught up and billing went as smooth as silk....!!

Glad you are caught up, that is such a good feeling!!!  I am feeling really good about where I am with my accreditation stuff, not totally done but I have another 10 days and I am really close to done.

Starting a new staff today and paperwork then training tonight.  I will have to miss muscle pump tonight but I may try to go tomorrow morning if I can get there at 8.  I move pretty slowly in the mornings. 

I have been doing fine with the 1st all liquid day so far.  You can have soup and I made one of their recipes for supper.  Sunday I was 137, 135 this morning.  but I seriously want back in the 120s.

Linda

Are you doing a part this year? What's the name of it?

Our Granddaughter who goes to a Performing Arts School has a couple solos in there music production on Friday.  I can't wait to hear her!!   When she sings with the different groups I can usually hear her over everyone else so I'm super excited about her singing alone. 

She mentioned trying out for the part of Arial in her school production.  I think she said try outs are after this weekend.  She has been practicing for it.  She will probably dye her hair for try-outs.

Looks like you are doing good!

The name of it is "Séance It Isn't So".  It is a murder mystery(comedy).  The audience will get to vote on who they want the murderer to be.  I play a stuck up married lady who bosses her husband around and all he ever says is pretty much "Yes Dear".  It is going to be cute.  I just have to learn my lines now!!

I think I have heard her sing on some postings on Facebook.  She is really good if she is the one you have posted.  Good luck to her!

I've been gone for a few months catching up on the whirlwind of the last 6 months. My husband has recovered well from the aortic dissection he had this summer and we are focusing on living healthier lives. I'm about 12lbs from goal and 9mos postop. My doctor is very happy with my progress as am I. OH has been a big part of my success so Thank You! 

Breakfast: decaf protein coffee  10g, egg cup 16g

Midmorning: Matrix PB cookie & chocolate premier shake 46g

Lunch: Turkey patty 18g sweet potato 1g

Dinner: homemade Shepherd's Pie 10g

Sounds like life is treating you good!  Glad DH is recovering! 

Are you close to your personal goal or to as normal BMI?

I'd like to see you up your Protein a little more since a couple of your meals have carbs in them.  As you get closer to goal we need more Protein to maintain.
