Menus and Miles Wednesday Nov. 15th

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!

Good morning!! Back on track today as far as planning. I think I have my whole exercise commitment under control, and now to be more diligent with the diet. I mean I make the right food choices 95% of the time it's just the whole planning and logging in advance. Sometimes I just don't want to think about it and then go through the fridge and throw whatever protein I have in my lunch bag. I do keep protein meals in the freezer so it is very easy to throw together an appropriate day's food, but I just need to stick with the pre-planning and logging. When I don't post my menu its not because I'm not eating!! LOL

Have been to the gym this morning and I'm thinking about doing a Zumba class tonight. I've never done it, I'm sure I will be stellar at it..... Got out at lunch and walked the track at the community centre too!

Post Op RNY 19+ mos

B - Premier protein shake

S - greek yogurt, vector granola

L - cobb salad

S - deli turkey and cheese string, if needed

D - Chicken/swiss stuffed breast

Total Cal 1172, Carbs 39, Protein 132

I added the protein shake because I was hungry when I woke up and needed fuel for my workout...I will try to spread the rest of the food out over the course of the day so that I can get through the Zumba class without adding more food. While the calories aren't that bad considering I'm really trying to figure out if I want to be in maintenance but still, a little on the high side, but inline with my protein number.

I give you lots of credit exercising and going to the gym!! I'm not an exerciser and I decided from the beginning I wasn't going to do that to loose weight. I knew I would never be able to do that the rest of my life so I had to find another way to loose and keep it off. Routine and boring that's me....lol.

Sounds Good!

I didn't really pick up exercise to lose weight, I didn't start until January of this year so 9 mos out.

I did it for toning and cardiovascular and mental health.

Sometimes its hard to get up and go, but I have a damn Step Counter and I know if I don't go to the gym I'll never make my step goal and I'm pretty anal about that! LOL I don't usually go on the weekends those are my down days, but I've just incorporated it into my weekly routine....its just a part of going to work now.
