Menus and Miles Tuesday Oct. 18th

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!

I just came back from a shopping trip at lunch!  I got 2 pair of dress pants size 8...WHAT?  Maybe I was an 8 in grade school!  The 10s I thought fit okay, but tried the 8s on for fun...and they fit!  thought I might as well go with the smaller size since I want to lose at least another 20 lbs!!

I baked another batch of low carb Brownies and these are much better than the ones I made last Sunday.  These are edible but not something I would serve to guests.  They aren't so good I will be reaching for one too often.  A teaspoon of peanut butter helped the taste.

Today was much cooler.  Sunday and Monday were really hot and our AC had been wrapped for winter.  I was ready to rip the cover off.  I don't do hot weather without AC very well.  Today was much better.
