Menus and Miles Monday Aug. 8th

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!!!!!  It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

I don't normally post but thought I would today. I have been at a standstill for a while now on my weight loss. I have been doing a new, intense workout program and I actually think I am not eating enough. I'm lucky if I eat 1100 calories a day. I know many don't count calories, but I like to.

Breakfast: sausage, cheese, egg, and hashbrowns(bad I know!) 15g protein 15 carbs

Exercise: Insanity video- Max Plyo Interval 

You're probably right about not eating enough if you exercise a lot. Many people including myself lose weight with more calories if you are exercising a lot. It's especially important to keep your protein intake relatively high.

I am not an exerciser but I have found that I don't lose when my calories/Proteins are low.
