Menus and Miles Friday Aug. 11th

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!

Sitting at my desk eating some plain popcorn....YUM! I went to grab the cheese and nuts but remembered I had popcorn in my drawer that I made before work. Sometimes the cheese/nuts makes me crave more but popcorn fills me up and doesn't cause me to crave anything. I do break the drinking while eating rule (just little sips) when I eat it though. It can be rather dry without any butter on it.

Heading out to a weekend with friends. I've packed cottage cheese, lunch meat, tuna and Greek yogurt. I've also packed some protein bars which make me a little ill (the sugar alcohol?) so that should help me resist the carbs.

Today I've spent about 90 minutes using my under-desk elliptical machine. I'm not sure it's actually exercise, but it does raise my heart rate some (similar to walking) and I figure anything is better than being totally sedentary!

This weekend will include hiking :)
