Menus and Miles Wednesday Sept. 6th

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 LW's!!! Had my annual check-up yesterday and the scales haven't changed in the past year+......YEAH!! This morning it's showing 119 the middle of my "perfect" range....the morning doesn't get much better than that!!!

Didn't sleep worth a darn last night, tossing and turning. Hence up a little extra early today so I took my coffee out to the hottub. So peaceful, although a little chilly getting in and out! Went early to the gym to get some extra cardio because I will forgo my lunchtime walk. We did 6.3 kms yesterday, and my walking partner doesn't like to do 2 days in a row!

I wish I could eat the Greek Yogurt. It upsets my stomach so much. Maybe I need to find something similar that's lactose free.

Summers almost over and I haven't even had a fresh tomato yet.

Sounds Good!

Glad to have found this board. You're so right about staying away from bad carbs. My sweet tooth can get the better of me if I let it. I'm lucky that I have willpower too though. Coming from a size 24 to a zero, I know I never want to go back, and everything is so much harder after 50.

About a month ago, I was just getting back into an exercise routine after an extended illness when our air quality took a nosedive and I haven't been able to get outside to run or walk in over a week. Just like that I gained 5% of my body weight and it's all flabby FAT! Mostly around my waist. I can't wait to get back outside and walk but the smoke burns my eyes and throat.

I use fitbit to track my exercise/weigh****er/food. PM me if you want to connect on fitbit!

Welcome to our Lightweight Board!!! In one way it is harder over 50 because I'm not as active as I use to be but I watch my daughters with their young children and I remember how hard it was having so much junk food in the cupboards and doing drive through restaurants on activity days.

So you are 5 years out from revision or your original Surgery? What surgery did you have? You've down a great job!

I don't have a fitbit but thanks for inviting me!
