Menus and Miles Thurs. Sept. 15th

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!

Morning LW's!!!!  I was half way to work when I realized that I forgot my Protein drink at home.  You would have thought I had forgotten to pick the grandkids up or something....LOL.  I started panicking, had a hot flash, and seriously considered calling work to say I was going to be late.....I'M THINKING ADDICTED!!!  Luckily for my sanity I had some powder at work and I'm using a fork to stir it BUT I miss the sound of crushed ice when I shake my drink...

Baseball tonight, last regular game of the season!  Lets hope my duck feet work tonight!

Have a great day!

I've raised a few waiters eyebrows in my time.....  No sense wasting or being tempted with the bun...right?

Sounds Good.

I'm enjoying a day at home.  The current temp job is the worst job ever due to my co-workers (workers being used loosely).  The two girls are from the same agency.  Not sure how they ever got hired.  They have no work ethics or any ethics.  I talked to the project leader and she was surprised it took me so long to talk to her.  She fully understands the situation and said she would have never hired either of them.  We don't have a supervisor in the building with us, but one will start Monday.  The project leader suggested I take today and tomorrow off.  These 2 are talking to each other or on the phone/cell phone, texting.....anything but working.  They're never on time, take long lunches and leave early.  One prides herself on how loud she can belch.  Cursing is now in the mix.  I notified the temp agency why I am not working today.  They called me but I didn't hear my phone.  Of course when I called back, they were on the phone.

I made a loaf of low carb bread a it's pretty tasty.  This afternoon I'm going to Jo-Ann's and Hobby Lobby......get excited just thinking about it. :)

Today's eats:

Oatmeal w/walnuts

Protein shake

Deli ham/cheese

Protein iced coffee

Nature Valley bar

Not sure about dinner

I feel for you!!!   Is the low carb bread any good?  Any Protein in it?

Sounds Good!

lol  You are a true star lightweight!

hahaha....If I told any one out side of our LW's they would think I'm crazy.  Probably even some of our LW's think that way.  I just know my Protein Drinks work for me! 

Boy I miss having Wendy's Chili's....  My bladder has been really good and I don't want to take the chance.  If I knew I could stop at one but it doesn't hurt than I always go back another day.  Kindof as addicting as my Protein Drinks I guess.

Sounds Good Gina!!

Roz, I'm a little scared to add more calories to my day, but if you're telling me I need more protein to make things move, I'm willing to give it a try .... I have some Blue Raspberry Protein powder from GNC, it's more like  juice when mixed, I'll try adding a "jug" of that into my day.

Stay tuned.....
