Last week 123.0

This week 121.2

 

I saw some fluctuations this week, little over and a little under. I think I'm getting back in the groove. Feeling good, and ready to start strength training!

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 feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!  

 

Good Morning....Rise and Shine!!!   The sun is bright coming in my sliding glass door that I had to move my chair to the side so I could see.  It's only 5 degrees this morning......  Fortunately I have a DH who gives door service.  Speaking of dropping off.  Have any of you had the opportunity to do the Walmart Grocery pick up service?  It has completely changed my life!!!   I spend less, make better choices, plan meals, and I don't have to fight the frustrating crowds!!

Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar

Protein:    Matrix Mint Cookie 35g

Snack:      A Babybel cheese Round

That's Awesome!!!   I totally understand how you could be feeling God's presence through this.  It takes a very special person to go through this process.

The girls at work all decided to quit smoking and I was so surprised how well they did.

That's wonderful!  Best of luck to you and your boys.  Our two youngest came to us through adoption and it was definitely meant to be, so if you feel that way I'm sure it will come through!

I'm looking to adopt this year, I want to be the healthiest me I can be to do so. I found the kids I want I just have to start the classes and such to make it so.I know in my heart these two boys are mine. I can feel it and I want to be around for them for a long time so back on track I go. Working my butt off to be my best. They deserve it so do I. I can't explain how I know things are going to be amazing over the next couple of months but I DO know it. It's like God has his hand on my shoulder showing me the way. I have to quit smoking, That's a biggie. I don't want to be smoking near the kiddo's.  I'm so proud of all I have accomplished and all that the future holds, I was so excited when I saw these boys I knew I had to share. They will be my boys I just know it. I don't know how I know it but I do.

Topic: RE: Problems with thicker liquids

I was able to have two meals today (3oz cup full each) of the cottage cheese and skim milk blenderized. I actually like that. I also had 3oz of plain low fat kefir. One cup tea and water. My BP is coming down a little as well. I feel stuffed now after the water.  I'll try the cream of wheat later tonight.
