I have about the same schedule and travel two weeks a month. I build in workout breaks into my schedule and they are sacrosanct. Meaning it better bloody well be the end of life as we know it for someone to schedule time there. I also put sticky notes around my computer saying things like Keep Drinking, get up and move , etc. just reminders to not get caught up on work. When I travel I take Protein Bars and powders with me. And then do like 4oz of salmon for dinner. You have to make it a priority. Actually by going through my calendar I was amazed at how many bullshit meetings I go to. This surgery helped me clear some of that clutter up!

I quit December 5th and I haven't started back after surgery on 2/12. I couldn't imagine doing the exercising that I am to lose this weight and still smoke. I urge everyone to quit! I took the money I have saved since quitting and hired a personal trainer!

I discovered I actually like working out!!!! I feel guilty if I don't hit the gym every day!

So guys..there is a major shock to your system, followed by a tidal wave of hormones from stored fat, not to mention mental changes you deal with like hunger issues etc.. Is it any wonder that sleep patterns would change?! I found myself having bouts of insomnia until I really ramped up the working out in week 6. Hitting the gym five days a week and sleepy time tea have helped.

If you figure net carbs the Special K protein cereal is not that bad. I eat it about once a week.

I totally missed this forum on the list!!!!!!! Is this where I get to punch kittens?!?!

Rofl I never even thought of that!!!!

After surgery where they did god knows what to my boobs and the catheter experience..that revelation I can live with!!!

Laura forgot to copy the part where I said Bill Nye the science guy was sexy Any drop of something else will break the Water tension..and make it more comfortable. I love the crystal light squeeze bottles!

Getting a mani/pedi every four weeks is my indulgence for myself. Totally worth the money and my feet look awesome in sandals!!!

Rofl!!! I totally just woke up my dog by laughing so hard!!!

Applaud!

And invite all the kittens?!?! You and me both sister!!

I am going to do it three days a week. I am also going to work with a personal trainer two days a week for a half hour. I also have a dog which gets walked for between 30 to 45 minutes a day. I think this is enough for now lol

So I got cleared for more cardio exercise..I shove my butt into my bathing suit and head to my local rec center. I figured how hard can this be...omg how wrong I was!!! Good news is I loved it and it was a hell of a workout!!!

I respectfully disagree with your first two sentences. Every time someone posts their one month success of double my weight loss in one month..I kind of want to punch a kitten ( I mean this figuratively..I love animals)! I see a lot of those type threads. I think also people build this hype in their head on OMG I am getting sleeved so that means I will lose 100 pounds in a month...this also makes me want to punch kittens. I just keep telling myself that I didn't get fat overnight so I am not getting skinny overnight...whatever I lose weekly is what I lose. The difference this time is that it is gone forever

What is everyone eating today?!?! I plan to have 3 oz of lamb with an oz of roasted butternut squash (if I can fit that in!).

There is a new low carb pasta called Dreamfield. I saw it in the grocery store yesterday but it is not on my list of foods yet to eat.

Lol..I used to love them until I saw a Dateline special about them..haven't eaten them since!!!

Do you guys know what is in hot dogs?!?!?!?!? This is one Protein I will never eat lol

*wolf whistles* Great job!

I had a salmon and cheese quesadilla with a lo carb tortilla!

He didn't really stand a chance! Funny thing..my Jawbone recorded the sex as active time bahahaha!!!

Take measurements! Even though the scale didn't move I lost a lot of inches!

Yep! Same thing happened to me. It will pass.
