Menus and Miles Thursday Jan. 28th

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!

Busy day with the vet and trimmer when it was really cold still.  Standing around in 25 degrees for 4 hours was awful.  Then paperwork stuff.  It did finally warm up some this afternoon but we still have lots of snow left.  Hopefully by this weekend I can drive again.

Caribbean cooler protein  13g

I know that much snow is unusual for you but is the cold too?  We had a light dusting of snow this morning but it's almost melted now.  Going to be in the high 40's this weekend.  It looks like one month of winter has passed us by....YEAH!!!!!!

Can you do M&M on Monday?  DH is having his heart fibrillation early in the morning.

Sounds Great!

I'll be happy to start M&M.  We do have cold and it hasn't been unusually cold so far.  Last Feb was horrible and way colder than we have been, in fact, it was the coldest month on record here.  And this past December was the warmest month on record for us.  Glad January is about over.  Hope we are done with the snow.

Good evening!
