Menus and Miles Wed. Oct. 26th

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!

Afternoon LW's!!!   DH got out of the hospital.  He is very tired but doing good.  Nothing but IV's and a small amount of food has made him pretty weak.

Hi Roz: Glad your hubby is home.

B: 1 oz gouda cheese, 6 wafer crackers

    protein coffee

L: apple

S: iced protein coffee

D: chicken breast, mixed vegetables

Had about my fill of the spinach dip and don't need the pita crackers anyway, so this is the last day of that

It's sooooo good to see you posting!!!  

I love crackers.  They are about the only carbs that I allow myself and feel no guilt.  They go down so fast I loose count so the only way I can control how many of them I eat is to separate them in ziploc baggies. 

Glad to see you are still using protein.  How many Proteins are you aiming for in a day?  I'm a firm believer that Protein is they only way to succeed.

Glad to hear your hubby is home! Busy day helping my parents out, now I need to get ready for my mamogram.

I hate Mammograms but glad I do them religiously.  Looks like good Protein Choices!  Do you have a daily Protein total you are trying to reach?

atleast 80-100, keeps me full longer and out of the cupboard with a full pouch!

Great to have you back Roz!  Glad to hear that hubby is on the mend!! Good news!

Nothing on the go tonight and just boring old work today.  I just realized I have a dilemma.  We are heading to Martinsville, VA for the weekend and its going to be 80 degrees....all my shorts fall off of me....le sigh.  Its only a couple of days, I may be able to get by in capris, and I know not something I should complain about but dang, never thought of that!! LOL

What a terrible problem to have......!!!   Isn't it wonderful!!!!!   This late in the year I wouldn't buy any summer things.  I bought so many clothes on the way down that I had to give to Goodwill.....what a waste of money.   Now I buy everything off of the end of season sales racks and I save soooo much money!

Sounds like a good Protein day!
