Menus and Miles Saturday June 17th

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!!! DD's and DGkids are all in the pool. I'm baking pumpkin pie for DH for Father's Day but the house is pretty cool. Cookie out today and going out to eat tomorrow for Father's Day.

Girls took us to Burgatory for Father's Day. I got the kids 2 mini burger meal and I could only eat one plus a few of the chips. Decided not to even take the 2nd one home. Had a couple sips of DD's Carmel/pretzel milkshake...YUM.

Roz, I need your comment about carbs tattooed on both hands although I'm not a tattoo person. I took Thursday and Friday as personal days. This is first time I've been able to have a paid day off. Here it is Saturday evening and only one day left of my mini vacation.

Thursday we went to look at a new home. We found just what we want and have put down a deposit. DH had an accident while we were out so that kind of ruined the day. We had viewed a townhouse and were walking back to the office when he fell face down on the pavement. Fortunately, a young man drove by, stopped and helped him up and walked him back to the office. He's really banged up but nothing broken.

This morning we went to our granddaughter's dance recital dress rehearsal. We prefer going down during the day rather than deal with the crowd at night. Of course, she was fabulous. :)

I have been taking Vita Fusion vitamins and B12 gummies for months. I can't seem to get rid of the itching around my jawline and neck. I looked at the ingredients and they are processed in a plant that processes soy......:( So, that may be the problem. I have ordered bariatric vitamins from Amazon for delivery Monday.

Eats today:

Scone

Protein bar

Beef hotdog

Tuna casserole (very little bit.....just don't like tuna); salad

Cereal/milk - supposed to help me sleep

A new home....that's exciting! We've been in our home 34 years and although we love it we wish we would have torn it down and started over. We wanted the property (no regrets there) and decided to remodel the whole house. Still working on it 34 years later. The next move we make will be to our youngest DD's or a Nursing home.

I do love carbs!! It's a constant battle and most times I win but there are those days I just can't stop but I don't beat myself up. It usually balances out at the end of the month. I could probably be 5 pounds lighter without the carbs but I've been this weight for 6 years and I'd have to buy new clothes if I decided to loose any....lol.

On carby days add in a few extra "good" Proteins.
