Menus and Miles Wed. Feb. 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!  

 

Morning Lightweights!!!!!  Well it's 4:00am and I'm up eating Honey Nut Cheerios out of the box.  I've been up since 2am.  DH is having his neck and arm operated on this morning and I can't sleep from Praying and worrying. Those 2 words shouldn't go together but I'm struggling with that.  He's had so many heart attacks and health problems I get sick every time he has to have another procedure done.

Sorry I haven't posted the last few days. I had to do a weeks work of Bookkeeping in 1 days so I could be off the next couple of days.   

No main meals planned.  I'll have to wait and see how the day goes.

Positive thoughts coming your way Roz, for an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery for your husband!

Hello Menu Gang.  Well the scale is a fickle beeyotch, and yes  I (probably) am scale obsessed.  I see all the positive changes in myself, I can see my bones and muscles, wearing size 8 pants and medium tops but damn you scale!  Damn you!  So because what I have been doing isn't netting any positive results, I'm switching it up a bit.  Jacked my calories up to 1379 yesterday, 147 protein.  Will have a higher calorie day today and then drop down to "normal" for a couple of days.  Need to stay off the scale for a few days because the daily fluctuations are driving me crazy,   

Anyhow, my body is aching today, thank you Monday workout, and I have a session with the "torturer" again tonight!  I CAN DO IT!

Eats today are:

B - 1 egg, 1 slice of cheese

S - 4 slices deli turkey with pickle chips

L - chicken with onions/peppers, cheese, sour cream

S - 30 gr old cheddar with 4 triscuits (pre-workout snack)

S - premier protein (post work out recovery)

D - chicken cordon swiss with maybe a bit of Caesar salad (salad not in totals yet, may forgo)

Totals - Cal 1107, Carbs 43, Protein 115

Happy Hump Day!  Weekend is just around the corner.

Swinging lizards for you guys, Roz.

Hey Roz,
My lovely wife is here and says "hi".
We both have you and yours, especially your hubby in our prayers and hope the surgery goes well.
Next thursday I too have surgery to fuse and remove bone spurs from my back.
But lets get your fellow thru this first!
Take care friend....

Great to hear from you!!!  Tell your wife I am sending HI back to her and Praying for your safety and her to have strength as well through your surgery.  DH's surgery exhausted me.....LOL.
