Menus and Miles Thursday September 7th

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!

OK...the year is going way to fast!! I can't seem to remember that it's September. 9 years ago I was anticipating my RNY and was worrying about life after WLS. Our LW board was booming with posters back then. I wish a few of them would stop in and say HI and let us know if they have continued being successful or let us help them get back on track.

Hi Roz!

Time sure is flying by faster every year it seems!

It's been over 7 years! Cant believe it! Doing great! Regain is real, refined carbs are the devil! You speak the truth! Still lurking, dont post as much as I used too.

Type 2 diabetes still in remission! Yeah!!

Let life get in my way and an excuse to eat my emotions, gained up to 164 this year. Down to 147.

To get back on track, I just really needed to get back to basics, I know it sounds cliche. I never really drank with meals, but was not drinking enough at all during the day. So really increased my water intake. Was eating too many refined carbs. Now its protein first, veggies and low glycemic index fruit and berries. Plus I have logged my food in for the past +70 days on my fitness pal.

Some days are better than others, but hey, I am human, and this is for the rest of my life.

B protein coffee, every day for the past 7 years!

2nd breakfast cream cheese pancakes with some blueberries and whipped cream

L chicken thigh and some cole slaw

D grilled chicken breast, guacamole over a small bed of romaine, guinness

liquids 64 oz

Vitamins, done

miles, none yet. Too rainy, even the dogs dont want to go out! lol

I'm soooo glad you are doing good and your diabetes is still in remission!!!!

I've been working on increasing my water too. It keeps a lot of the cravings away.

Menu sounds good!!

Post Op RNY 16+ mos

Good morning. Did 5 km at the gym this morning and off to work. Hope it doesn't rain this aft so I can go out at lunch. My mother told me last night that I was too skinny, I told her I'm not, its just that she was used to me being fat. She told me that recent pics on FB don't even look like me and that she liked fat me better. Really something nice to say to someone who works so hard. Went to my Trucker for a little support, and he had nothing, add him to the list of people that pissed me off yesterday. I actually dove into a bowl of chips and dip after these two conversations for about 2 mins, and then realized it doesn't matter what they think (took some of my own advice). Hence the 5km at the gym, I was actually going to have a rest day but screw them.

Anyway, here's the plan for today:

B1 - 1/2 small banana

B2 - beef meatballs

S - 2 HB eggs

L - chicken salad

S - sautéed peppers/onions with chicken and cheese

D - taco salad

Total Cal 1164, Carbs 40, Protein 101

Have a good day all!

I got that a lot too after I got to goal but now every ones used to the "thin" me. I actually worry if I'm up a pound and someone might think I've gained a pound or so.

Great Protein total!!
