Menus and Miles Tues. Jan. 24th

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!  

Last full week of January.  A little closer to spring...!!  Had a competition all day yesterday.  15 teams and 15 first places....YEAH!    So many specialty awards I lost track!  I ate decent at the competition.  Took my own plain popcorn, nut bar and of course my Protein drink. Bought a walking taco with extra protein (concentrated on the toppings).  No sweets or junk food and low carb.
