Menus and Miles Wed. April 18th

Thanks for the congrats on my surgery--I'm starting to feel much better the last couple of days!

Good for you getting back on track.  The great thing is if you go back to your old habits that were obviously very sucessful for with your great "tool" you'll take off the weight in no time.  Since you had WLS you are only 12 pds above goal and getting it back together instead of 50!

How about getting out some old favorite recipesyou liked while losing or trying some new ones to re-ignite the spark, make things more interesting and keep you out of those "dangerous carbs"?

Hang in there you can do it Mari!

Oh Laurie, I'm loving your enthusiasm!! I need to come here every day, and be on track too. But as for receipes. Sigh, while I was losing, over a year and a half, I could eat anything, just so little of it that it was the trick. I used to say it was all about portion control. Of course I made sure I got my 80g of protein a day, and drank my 64 + oz of water. But now that I can eat more, I definatley need to keep in mind what I eat. I know what to do, just do it.

I'm so excited for you. This is the best time, I miss my honeymoon.

Sounds like you need to find some new receipes then!  I'm looking forward to this honeymoon, I hope it's going to happen....

Comparing is not good and you are definitely not eating like a pig...LOL. I'm probably being stupid but what is NS? 

Roz, NS = Nutrisystem. My DH is trying NS and has lost 20 pounds. He has 20 more to go. When I go to the office twice a week I get up at 4:15 AM so I grab a NS breakfast and lunch to make my life easier, and stay out of the company cafetieria. It has good amounts of protein, carbs can be high depending on what I pick. It's normally just the two days a week, the rest of the week I work from home and eat regular food LOL!

I was thinking that might be what it was but I couldn't understand why you would be eating it.

My DD has been doing that too but she hasn't lost any weight.  She hates most of the foods and I see her picking. 

Ah....we all have different tastes. I think it depends on just how your life style is and how bad you want to succeed. I agree though, any pre packaged food that you eat isn't going to be like home made.

How did the soccer game go?

My 4 yr. old DGD had her first soccer "game" on Sunday.  I definitely don't think she learned much.  It was through that i9sports program.  The man who bought the franchise was making money with all of the little ones who showed up but the kids weren't getting any kind of instruction.

What is chic? 

Good Totals!

Game was fun. They split the 1st year players from the returning players so it was 4 from our team against 7 from their team. Kind of funny to watch because the other team looked like a football team rushing our girls!!! By the end of the 4th qtr /period whatever you call it our girls were in there scrapping for the ball, too. Very fun!!!

Chic is shredded chicken. Got lazy with my typing. I ordered my first Click this week so I'm excited to try that -- I thought I might have mentioned it on here so I had to re-read. I also found a cookbook that looked like fun -- we shall see!
