    Hello to all of our Lightweights!!! If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!! Besides my tool, I count Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!

    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 Phase!

    It's Friday and weekend is close behind
    . DD#3 and family are going to Niagara Falls for the weekend and I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend curled up with a book. I guess it will give me a little taste of what it's going to be like when they move out in the fall. There house is going to be so nice and I am sooooo jealous!

    I've got to keep myself busy so I don't eat all day.

    Rode Poppy this morning. We are going to look at a used 2 horse trailer this evening. It would be smaller and lighter to pull than my big trailer that has living quarters so I could use it to go trail riding, etc day trips. Seems silly to have 2 horse trailers but at the same time, with the price of gas, seems silly to haul around the big one for one pony.

    decaf protein coffee 33g
    1/2 sandwich round, 1 oz cheese, 3 slices turkey bacon, tomato
    lemon tea 13g
    Chicken thigh, zuchinni
    cottage cheese, 2/3c, peach
    dinner???
    protein shake 33g

    Called for more information about the trailer and they decided not to sell it. I was getting ready to drive an hour and they hadn't even bothered to stop me. Geeze.

    Awe, that's to bad about them selling the trailer and just plain rude that they didn't call you.

    Good Menu!

    Hi Roz,
    I hope you are going to enjoy empty nest as much as I do - although DGD's do come and spend the night on the weekends some - most of the time it is just DH, Little Willie and me.  I do better when I stay busy on the weekends.  Sunday afternoons are usually bad for me.

    I love my empty nest.  DS comes home every weekend and that is more than I would chose but he and his dad are best buddies and playmates so I don't have much say. 
    I love going to the gym on Sunday afternoon.  No Zumba this Sunday but I will probably go and swim.

    Price, I try to lay on the couch Sunday afternoon and watch movies on TV-LOL.  It is my afternoon to not do anything!!  I probably should get up and do something.

    Somedays I am excited that life will be slower and easier after they move and then other days it makes me sick  knowing how much I'm going to miss them.   They are only about 8 minutes away but I know with DD's schedule I'm not going to see her much.  I stay up now until she gets home just to tell her goodnight.  We will probably have the boys at least 2 nights a week because SIL works until 7:00 those nights.

    Good Menu!
