Menus and Miles Wed. March 2nd

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!

Over the Hump Day!!!   It's Lunch time here...What are you having?  I'm having Ham/Pea  soup.  Nice and warm on a snowy day. 

DH went to his heart Dr. today and got a good report!  I was enjoying my Mint Cookie Protein drink and the Dr. asked me what kind it was and said he was going to check it out.  I think I'll take him in a few samples.

what brand is your lemon tea protein and where can it be purchased or is this just tea with protein added?

Also what is the best brand of protein coffee you guys use?

I use Syntrax Nectar Lemon Tea Protein. I mix it with unsweet tea or a crystal lite lemon tea stick and water.

On the protein for my coffee I use the Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino.  I buy mine from Lucky Vitamin.  I used to buy it from Bariatric Choice but swapped because it was cheaper.

I use Syntrax protein also.  For my coffee, I brew decaf and "cream" it with protein powder mixed with warm water.
