Menus and Miles Wed. Feb. 20th

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.

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

1/2 way through the week...YEAH!  The sun is so bright but boy is it deceiving...it's freezing out.

We had a great get together last night for DH's birthday.  SIL took home a few pieces of cake and all of the rest of it got cut up into pieces and put into the freezer.  Even the box went straight to the garbage so there was no chance of me scraping icing from it.  Part of being successful is knowing what your weaknesses are and protecting yourself from temptation.

I just bought some Gordons skillet talapia and really like it

I'll have to try the Tilapia.  I have always bought the Gordan's lemon grilled but I bought the Herb flavored by accident and I like it so much better.  I can only eat one patty at a time so it's a really cheap lunch.  I usually bring green beans to but I forgot them this morning.

cabbage soup...beet or beef?  I put corned beef in mine.

Good Menu!

Cant spell --cabbage soup with beef

LOL....I love beets so I wondered what that would taste like.

We've still got a little snow here (just in places where there was a big pile, like where they cleared the car park, there's just a tiny pile left).

Oh dear - I see it's your turn to forget things today ;-)

I can't wait for warm sunshine!

Good Menu!

We always buy chips when we have a party and I was soooo tempted but willpower won!!! 

You sound so much like me when it comes to helping out your kids.  I'm so glad I have a job that I can leave in a moments notice.

Sounds Good!

Sometimes I have better willpower than other times.  It mostly depends on if I am stressed or not!!

I agree it is wonderful to have a job that allows you to leave if you need to which I can do most of the time.  There are certain days that I would not be able to do this like tomorrow when we have our Regional Board Meeting - that is mandatory day and the only reason you can be out is if you can't get out of the bed or bathroom!!  I am so thankful for my job.
