Menus and Miles Wed. Nov. 2nd

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!

WOW...What a great weekend DH and I had!!  We went to a campground with our girls for the weekend and then took the 2 youngest grandsons (the rest had school) to ELK County.  They were soooo excited to see the Big Elk running free all through the neighborhood.  We were worried about taking them but they were such good little guys. We got home just in time for them to get ready for Trick or Treat.

I handed out chips and drinks and I tried really hard to stay out of the candy my DD had me hand out for her but I failed and the mini Snickers took over.  I think I had 4 of them.  My scales are still 2 pounds up and I've increased my Protein and watching my carbs to get them off.  I don't want to start the holidays with extra pounds.
