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'm so mad!!!  I scorched my ham/bean soup....how dumb!  I told DH we are eating it any how because it cost to much to make and throw away.  I'm waiting to see what kind of fuss he puts up.

Did anyone watch Dr. OZ on the Today show this morning?  http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/50384627#50384627 I really like that guy but what do you think about him and his ideas?   Here was his advice for today:

1. Don't eat the same foods every day.  Mix it up.  He started out by saying to take 1 or 2 bites of simple carbs  like a bite of a friends donut every 3 days then wa**** down  with water to clean your taste buds. He says it will keep your metabolism going.

2.  Hunger pains in your stomach mean you are having withdrawals from something you ate. Real hunger feels uncomfortable in you neck and chest areas.

3. Have an egg for breakfast and it will fill you up for a long time.  That's one of the reasons I don't eat eggs because they make me feel uncomfortable like they are stuck. 

4. He also said to use the 4 - 3- 2 - 1 method every day ( I think he said it was from Biggest Losers).  4 fruits and vegetables, 3 Protein, 2 whole grains, and 1 fat, oil, or sweet ( equaling 200 calories).

Have you tried one of the Jennie O marinated turkey breasts? I bought one that is mustard marinade. I'll let you know how it is in the oven.

I haven't even heard about the turkey breasts. 

Good Menu and totals!

The turkey breast was two large tenderloins. Amazingly good! Took an hour to bake. Highly recommend!!!

L: 1/2 cup BBQ beef ,3 strawberries

Protein drinks , string cheese

D: 3 oz elk roast , 6 baby carrots   Small potato

134 protein 

35 carbs

Sounds Good!

I did that method on La weight loss , I lost 40 pounds in 9 months but then quit and gained it back in 4 months! Plus a few extra.i think mine was 3 protein 4 fruit and veggies 2 starch a fat and a dairy.  

Except for the dairy which he didn't mention I think that's exactly what he is suggesting.

cleaning house.  Whew.  When the surveyor comes next week, she will come here because my office is in my home.  That means we have to have all the corners and stuff gone from everywhere.  It will be great when it is all done.  Muscle pump this evening

decaf protein coffee  33g
kale, eggbeaters, cheese
hot chocolate protein  30g
leftover chicken stir fry
lemon tea protein  13g
fish, cole slaw
protein shake  33g

1.  I don't know about the simple carb thing, esp a donut.  That seems extreme.  Maybe a piece of chocolate would do the same thing.

2.  Have never heard that about hunger pains.  How many of us ever really feel hunger?  I know when I started thinking about being hungry again from surgery, I felt empty, but not really hungry.  Now often when I think I am hungry, I am thirsty.

3.  I have eggs or eggbeaters for breakfast almost every morning and I do think it keeps me full for quite a while.

4.  If you count protein drinks, I have 5 protein, 3 veggie/fruit, 0-1 grain, 1-2 fat,oil or sweet

I'll have to figure mine out to see if I'm close to what he is suggesting.

Sounds Good!
