Menus and Miles Wednesday Jan. 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!  

 

Morning LW'S!!!!!  WOW...January is flying by.  I'm really bummed over  the price of my Protein going up!!!  The last ones I bought were $38.50 each and they raised  them to $54.50.  That's a HUGE increase!!!!   DH has been a little depressed and I was worried about how he was going to do his first winter of retirement.  Next month he turns 65 so we are going to get him signed up for Silver Sneakers and DD#3 is going to go with him to the gym.  Everyone keeps telling me I need to retire but I love my job way to much and I KNOW I couldn't deal being home every day.

Maintenance:  8+ years out 

Breakfast:  NONE

Wow, that is a huge price increase! Is it for the same size as before?? That's just crazy. Hopefully you can find it some place cheaper??

Post Op RNY 9+ mos.

Hello everyone....having a pity party this morning....two days of rocking it at the gym, and mindful eating, and the scale punishes me....BOO. 

Meeting with a personal trainer tonight for a one on one consult and a mini workout with her.  When I get back from vacation I will probably work with a personal trainer for a little bit to develop some workout routines.  I'm just a little concerned my current calorie intake will not be enough to support the workout routine, and I'm not really interested in adding more calories.

Just work today, and then aforementioned appointment at the gym.

B - 3 Bacon, tomato, lettuce boats with a tsp of light mayo in each.

S - 3 slices deli turkey, 30 gr old cheddar, 50 gr cukes

L - 4 oz chicken

S - 4 slices deli turkey, 30 gr old cheddar, 80 gr cukes

D - sheppards pie (4 oz beef / 1 oz mashed taters)

Total Cal 930, carbs 20, protein 96

Have a great day

Keep in mind, when you add or increase workouts your muscles grab onto water in your body to protect themselves. It'll work itself out! :) Hang in there.

I've started buying my protein at TrueNutrition unless I can get a good discount on Syntrax. Price it out but I think it's a better deal.  Link: https://truenutrition.com/
