Menus and Miles Tuesday Nov. 14th

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!

9 + Years!!

Afternoon LW's!!! Are you prepared for Thanksgiving? I had my WLS in the month of October and I can remember being so excited because I was allowed to start eating "normal" food the week of Thanksgiving. Little bites of turkey never tasted sooooo good!!!! If you are early out be careful of dumping. Watch your sweets and fats and take small bites so nothing gets stuck. BUT ENJOY!!

There's not much planning on my part although I cook for 25. My menu never changes and every year I keep track of each can of vegetables etc. we used so I can adjust the amounts every year. With the grandkids getting so big I always need to add some. We are going to eliminate most of the pies. They just don't get eaten then DD#1 takes the left over ones to her inlaws. To much work goes into them just to give them away. DD#2 is going to make cherry filled cookies from my Moms recipe and a couple of other things.

Sounds Good Gina!!
