Menus and Miles Wednesday Aug. 26th

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 Good 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!

WOW...What a day!!!  Yesterday I complained about it being boring at work but to my surprise my life got a little crazy!!  DD#3 called me and said someone stole her new van from the parking lot of a Pittsburgh Mall.  The Police found it today and we just got back from checking it out.  They wrecked it and trashed it and stole over 6,000.00 worth of stuff!!  IPad, Cash, Gift Cards, 3 car seats, a filled Coach Diaper Bag, Coach Wallet, Michael Korrs Purse, shoes...etc. They had a big party in her van and then parked it. We aren't sure how long until she gets it back.  The police theft dept is checking it out tomorrow and then the insurance company will take over. The most upsetting part that made her sick with worry was their passports, birth certificates, and SS cards were all in there because she was getting everything together for our cruise but the thieves nicely put them in the glove department box.  We are definitely thankful for that.
