Menus and Miles Thursday Aug. 3rd

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!

Today is a rest day but I did run 3.5 slow miles last night!

Congrats on your RNY and I'm glad you posted!!!

It's nice to see you are drinking at least one Protein shake. I'd like to see you add a few more since you aren't eating much food. Did your surgeon tell you to try and get in a lot of Protein? I was required early out to get in 100 grams of Whey Protein a day so I drank 4 shakes a day and still at 8+years I get in at least 70 grams just from Whey Protein drinks.

Have you always been a runner or did you start after your WLS?

I have TRIED to run several times in my life. Two of my sisters are runners, but I've never seemed to find my stride and it's always been a slow slow pace that's never been comfortable. This time I'm just doing it. I get passed by walkers all the time, but my HRM shows I'm in the "Vigorous" range so I figure I'm doing something!

Yes, I'm supposed to get between 70-100 g of protein per day. Over a week I'm averaging around 75g per day and 750 calories. I was undecided, but after reading this I'm going to up my Amazon subscription to two deliveries per month so I can at least have one per day. I also use protein powder, mixing it into my cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and I mix plain whey protein powder into my Mac n Cheese (made with Green beans (or zoodles or some other non starch) instead of pasta, with an added can of tuna).

OK so I just went to Amazon and upped my subscription for protein shakes :)

Sounds Good! What Protein shakes do you use?

I use vanilla in my coffee and chocolate for the lunchtime shake. I buy the vanilla from TrueNutrition website and the chocolate is Syntrax Nectar. Not fruity protein shake person, just the creamy.

I can't handle the fruit flavors. I did drink some of them earlier out but now they kindof nauseate my stomach. I did buy the Premiere Strawberry but I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to put it my Yetti cup with lots of ice. I needed a change.

I bought the Premier Strawberry and I thought I was going to gag every drink I tool....lol. I ended up dumping it down the drain. I hate spending so much on my Matrix Mint Cookie but I guess I might have to accept it.

Check out TrueNutrition.com they may have a cookies and cream protein. I'm not sure I've seen mint cookie though.
