Menus and Miles Monday Feb. 22nd

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!

I'm sure you know this but you can't get the vits and mins from the greens in your salad without some fat.  If you have full fat cheese or some kind of meat with fat or avocado or something you should be fine but some fat is necessary to digest all those greens.

When my liquids are low I have dizzy spells.  It took me the longest time to figure that out.  Hope you solve yours soon!!

Sounds Good!!

It's been pretty nice here in PA.  I hate wearing a coat (always have it with me) so I'm really enjoying it.  This weather has been a blessing for DH.  Working in the freezing cold weather is hard on him.
