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 Period.

Happy Friday!!!!!!   I Can't wait for the weekend.....It has been a rough couple of days!  I get up at 6:00 to help DH get showered and dressed and since he isn't allowed to drive I have to take him to work, come home and get myself ready, go feed my Mom and make sure she takes all of her meds, and then off to work I go. At least 3 weeks of this...I'm sure I will get use to it but I LOVE my quiet (ME) time in the morning after DH gets up.

Hi Roz, I'm sorry you're loved ones are having a tough time and that they're having to lean on you so much - they're lucky to have you, not everyone is so fortunate.  Keep doing what you're doing - people like you help make the world a better place.

Anyway, it's that day - yippee!!

I've been a hungry and thirsty monster today, no chance of dehydration here.  Am gonna have to think about phoning the dinner order through - yay!! 

I really don't mind....I'm just very tired and it has only been 3 days.  If DH was allowed to drive life would be so much easier.

Sounds Yummy!!

So sorry to hear about DH's hand and the loss of your 'me' time. You're clearly a blessing to your family :-)

Menu...

• Roast beef, Swiss, and horseradish rolls
• Cinnamon-almond butter-Greek yogurt dip with apple slices
• Late lunch out with hubby... salad with protein?
• Baked chicken wings Greek yogurt blue cheese dip and veggie dippers
• Lemon protein ice cream with blueberries
• On track to complete vitamin batches by bedtime (if I remember my late afternoon batch of calcium. Such a challenge lately!)

Miles... shopping, mall walking.

Blessing -  DH would say that is questionable...LOL.  I hit post and then I thought that was a dumb thing to say because DH would never say that. 

Sounds Good!

Hi Roz,

Hope you can get some rest this weekend.  I love my quite time too, but don't get much of it since DH retired!  The DGD's are coming for a spend the night party tomorrow.  I have booked all 3 of us an appointment to have pedi/mani's.  They love having their toes & nails done and I thought this would be something fun for us to do as girls.

B:  Protein Decaf Coffee
S:  Decaf Coffee
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
L:  Grilled Chicken, Salad w/ honey mustard dressing - DS was off so he came and had lunch with me - so nice because we hardly ever have any time to spend with just each other.
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
D:  ??
S:  Some type of protein drink

Vitamins:  Morning & Afternoon Done
Water/Fluids:  80 ozs so far
Miles:  It is my weekend to clean the bathrooms at work so I'll do that this afternoon when I get off work.

Linda

He is such a baby when he is hurt.  I know it really hurts right now but I'm hoping by Monday it feels better.  I think it's crazy the company is making him go into work and just sit there with his arm propped up. The union argued that since he got hurt at work and he can't drive that they should be picking him up and taking him home but the company won't budge.

I think we might go with friends to the river tomorrow just to get away for awhile.  I think retirement is going to claim DH sooner than later.

I bet you are going to have so much fun with DGDs!!   My "girls" love to get pedi's too.  I take my Mom every 3 months and there is always more that just the 2 of us. 

Sounds like a good Protein Day!!!!

Ugh. Run away from home, Roz.

hahaha....This is probably all minor compared to what we might face when we get older so I might as well get used to it and quit complaining. I can't complain at home because he really takes it personally.

Maybe for a few hours we can relax on a nice boat and forget about everything.

What's the best kind of roast to buy with flavor? 

the positive part of DH being retired and sleeping late is that I have a good bit of the morning that is mine. 

Posting Saturday morning for Friday since I never got to it yesterday.

decaf protein coffee  33g
flax muffin with blackberries
lemon tea protein  13g
tuna salad, cracker, broccoli salad
lemon tea protein  13g
chicken salad, artichokes, roll
cookie

After walking and promising myself I was starting over, I had way too much carbs.  The leftovers from the dinner the other night (crackers, rolls, cookies, salads with a lot of fat) are almost gone, thank goodness.
