Menus and Miles Friday Oct. 7th

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!

Woohoo!  Friday of a long weekend!! Doesn't get better than that!

Nothing on the go today at work, will try and cut out early because we are going camping for the long weekend at Elora Gorge.  Likely the last camping trip of the season which is good for the diet but also makes me sad.

Yesterday at the follow up of course the dietician told me to eat more carbs....veggies and fruit.  She said your body needs a minimum of 130 grams to function....I think I've been doing pretty good at minimal carbs but we'll see. Its not that I don't like veg and fruit but by the time I eat my protein who has room?

I'm down 79.3 lbs since my first weigh in at the Centre a year ago now!  Who would have thought that possible.  When I think about it though I'm only down about 43 lbs since surgery, which yes seems like a lot, I know the speech, but I see others who have lost so much more in the same time.

Anyway enough whining or maybe reflecting is a better word! LOL Here's what I got for today!

B - 1 egg, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice 35 cal whole grain toast

S - 2 oz egg salad

L - 100 gr pulled turkey, 89 gr cucumber slices

S - 3 oz deli turkey, 1 jalepeno cheese stick

D - 1-1/2 chicken sausage (red pepper/mozz)

TOTALS:  Cal 911 (really!!) Carbs 36, Protein 89

If I need a snack tonight it will likely be cheese.

Glad you had a good visit with your dietitian

I agree with eating more vegetables but not with the fruit. It has a ton of sugar in it.  Probably 1 serving a day would be OK. I've known people who have gained weight from using fruit in their Protein drinks every day. 

Good Menu!
