Menus and Miles Tuesday July 7th

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.

I feel I need to repeat this:  I am a FIRM believer in Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Meetings and no playing makes for a VERY boring day!!!

Menu sounds Good!

Doing well today with my eating.  I need to exercise but I can't seem to fit it in.  I can quilt or read for hours, but no time to exercise.  Could I be making excuses??  I do have a torn tendon in one ankle so walking very much does cause pain. 

DH is scheduled for knee replacement on July 22nd.  Ugh. 

Today's eats:

B:  Click shake

L:  Blueberry mug muffin - low carb made with almond flour

S:  Kind bar; Premier Protein shake

D:  Spinach salad w/grilled chicken; bean soup

S:  Strawberries

At muscle pump Monday night we had a guest instructor.  We worked a lot, I mean a whole lot, with a resistance band.  Very easy on the joints but I got a good workout.  Might be work checking on some stuff you could do in the air conditioning without walking and without a gym! Bands are pretty cheap.-

Quilting and Reading are probably Fun and Relaxing....Exercise (for me) is neither of those...LOL.  July 22nd is come really fast.  It's a good thing you retired to take care of him.  My sister was worn out after the first few days. 

Sounds Good...especially the bean soup...YUM!
