Menus and Miles Sunday April 9th

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!

Looks like it's just us today Roz. My weekend has been really awful. My heart is broken. We had to put our precious Sophie down yesterday. She turned 17 1/2 yesterday. My husband let the dogs out yesterday morning and when she came in she yelped. She had some trouble walking but we thought maybe she had hurt her leg and she would be okay. All day I kept hoping she would get better but we took her to the emergency vet. In the last month she has started going potty in the house and she never did that before.

The vet thought she had a disc problem because when he moved her head she yelped. She could be diabetic or have kidney disease but without blood work and X-rays he wouldn't know. Considering her age, we decided it was time for her to go. I think she was ready. She made no effort to get up on the table or didn't move when we held her. It was so hard to let her go but I didn't want her to suffer.

I'm still struggling with what I think is a soy allergy. I need to see an allergist.

Aren't I a Debbie Downer today!! I'll be better tomorrow.

Today:

45 calorie toast w/PB; Applegate chicken sausage (9 g) - yuk. Heard they were good but I don't like them.

Click shake (23 g)

Hamburger (no bun); Pepper Jack cheese

Not much to eat today. I really need to up my protein.

I'm so sorry about Sophie!!! 17.5 is a long time to love a pet and then loose her. Do you think you will get another puppy?

DH has terrible allergies so we can't have cats (my favorite) or dogs in the house. My DD's are suppose to be hypo-allergenic but he still gets stuffy when we go to there house. Her boys have terrible asthma and DH insists it's the dogs but she won't have anything to do with it. I'm a bad dog sitter!!!!! They went away for the weekend and I forgot to go to her house on Saturday to feed them and put them out. I finally remembered Sunday morning so we hurried and got ready so we could stop on the way to church. I was soooo afraid they would be dead. She never told me the one runs away and they put a leash on her to take her out and I thought I was going to be late for church trying to catch the little stinker. She's fast for this old lady.....LOL!

I can't eat soy. It always makes my stomach ache. You are right about not eating much and upping your protein......
