Menus and Miles Tuesday June 14th

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!

Sounds Good Gina!

Today was much better.  Hubby called to say the social worker and the doctor wanted to talk to me about his treatment so I headed out there.  He was sitting up in a chair and was back to his old self.  No narcotics for 24 hours.....thank goodness.  He has a hemotoma on his knee that should dissolve.  They think he should go to rehab for awhile so we agreed to that.  However, none of the rehab centers had good ratings online.  These are the ones approved by his insurance.  He will probably be transferred tomorrow.  If he doesn't like it I will bring him home and have home health.

B - Click/Syntrax shake

S - Kind bar

L - Mixed nuts purchased at the hospital

D - Chicken Salad; Cowboy Beans; watermelon

Looks like I should have another protein drink

Sooo Glad to hear that!!!   I'm a review reader also but I've found that when it comes to health care that is an individual opinion of an facility.  Some people expect a lot more from health care facilities and others are just happy their loved ones are clean and being treated good. Since your husband is an adult and in his right state of mind you probably don't have much to worry about.  He will probably get treated better than someone who is younger or someone who is confused. My Mom's nursing home has decent reviews but I have to constantly be talking to the administrators about her care because she can't speak for herself.

I hope you had that 2nd Protein drink.....!!
