Menus and Miles Thursday Feb. 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!

Morning LW's!!!  2 hour school delay because of snow.  We had a few delays earlier in the year because of low temperatures but the first one for snow....not bad for the 2nd week of Feb. here in PA.   I think I better have another Protein drink to help with the carbs I'm having today....

I will be 6 months post op on the 17th. I am learning as my appetite comes back to make good choices. If I eat good protein and drink lots of WATER...I am satisfied...I do not want to snack. I have to get tha****er in....A MUST FOR MY SUCCESS

Sounds like you have a plan for success!!!!  I've never tried the Premier but I might grab one to see how they taste.  Lots of mixed reviews and I like to try things my self.

Looks like you had a good day!
