Menus and Miles Monday Feb. 25th

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!!!!

I'm doing the Happy Dance today..........my scales were at 117 this morning!!!!!!!!  I weighed myself 3 times!!   Last month I hit 118 a few days and that was exciting but 117....WOW .....I haven't seen that for quite awhile.  I usually hold steady at 119 on most days.  I'm sure it has something to do with being sick and  my loss of appetite but usually I gain when I don't eat (it might catch up to me for a few days).  I've ate a lot of extra carbs this week like crackers and popcorn because they were the only things that didn't make me nauseated and they didn't take much effort to prepare or eat.   Before WLS I would fear a Gain but not anymore.  I feel confident  that as soon as I feel "normal" again and can follow my routine completely I will be holding steady at 119 again.

I would think you would have some gain when you are use to walking and then stop.

How were the cream cheese pancakes?

They were good.  I love pancakes.  I actually did the counts on them and I'm not sure they are enough protein for a meal for me with the kind of cream cheese that I used. 

I did cook them in the oven and I liked that.

What kind of pan did you use in the oven?

Go Roz, it should've happened yesterday though (Sunday weigh in 'n all).  I lost my 1/2lb regain, let's hope I get somewhere decent by next Sunday!! ;-)  I think this cold weather doesn't help with losing though.  I'm so ready for spring it's crazy!!

I just might have to make me some of those cream cheese pancakes for supper tonight and change my menu!! 

For some reason I'm always higher on Sunday's.  Usually my low day is mid week.  Sounds Good!
