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.

Lazy Saturday but it's time to get moving!  I Pray no one has any major problems with the storm.  I would appreciate Updates because I worry about all of you!

Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period!

- Protein: 100 Oops, a bit low for me - breakfast was just too much & I was full all day... seriously, I had barely any carbs today, one of my lowest carb days. I guess I got out of bed a little later so that left less eating time. I think I'll try cream cheese pancakes for Sunday breakfast given we have an extra hour.

- F 72+oz

- V Night time liquid iron (ferrous fumarate - the good stuff as confirmed by Gina & subsequently Google - I'd not have known to look otherwise) w vit C pending (for better iron absorption - gotta get my levels up a little)

- M 30 minute walk to & from pub for breakfast - I found my pedometer after that though!

Yeah! Glad you found your pedometer. :)

 

I noticed your carbs were lower today.  The more carbs I eat the hungrier I am during the day. 

Gina is the one to turn to if you need help with your labs. 

 

Oh she has been, Gina's great.  I just thought I'd explain why I'd added vitamin C to my iron.  I just can't believe I didn't do it sooner, but I guess it's coz my PCP prescribed the iron and therefore I assumed it'd be OK.

BTW don't know if you saw my Sunday weigh, but I lost 3.235lbs this week (well in 6 days, as I didn't weigh today).  I try and not weigh too often and I can be up 1.5lbs since my DS, but seems to sort itself out.  When I did WW I either stayed the same or lost no roller coaster there.  I worked out hard, stuck to the plan and either lost or stayed the same.  I've just learnt not to weigh myself too often since my DS.

I think the increased loss could be because I increased the amount of fat I'm having (I got really dry flaky skin on my face which is why I upped the fat intake - the skin's OK now).

I cheated I went to the local Kings restaurant and bought Vegetable Soup.  DH and I love it!  DH loves it when I make soup but It is tomato based my tummy just can't handle much of it.  It would eat it every day until it's gone.

I haven't checked out the White Russian yet but just the title sounds good.

Good Menu!
