Day 23! I can hardly believe it! So today is Top workout tip...

KEEP GOING!!!

Doesn't matter if you're using every modification, doesn't matter if your running pace is 1mph faster than walking, doesn't matter if there are no weights on the bar. Keep going. You CAN do it. Don't let the negative voices in your head win. Use your today to work on mastering what you modified yesterday. Teach your brain to say "Yes I can, I can do this" and squash the "I can't do this! I'm too...(tired, painful, sleepy, hungry...) you do have this! I have faith in all of you! Keep going!

Like your playlist, many of my faves on there too. I have pearls on tonight, 1 makes me feeling like a young girl 2. Frankie Valley said long ago in RAG DOLL, " such a pretty girl should be wearing pearls" Might have been ME he was singing about.
And since I have heard much music in my life I am eclectic in my tastes . I especially like Styx " Show Me The Way" clear down to Joey and Rory's " You Ain't Right", Sherri Austin "He's All Yours". I guess I am mostly Soft Rock into Country, especially songs that tell a story. And when I feel ornery, Bomshels " Karma is a Female Dog" Miranda Lambert. speaks my seniments in her songs, She's a Texas cutie, but she takes no prisoners, does she? And I March around to Toby Keith or her.

Music that gets me moving

❤ Selfcare first and foremost. Come back when you're ready. ❤

Ummmm, yeah, it is! Let me tell you, it makes you want to get up and move! (And I always knew why they couldn't get my demographic right!😉)

#22 - Music That Gets Me Moving
Does taking out the trash and emptying the dishwasher count? In that case, I've been all about Spotify's "I Love my 90's Hip Hop".

Favorite workout music!

#21 - My Biggest Support
I'd have to say the friends I've made here on BP have been my biggest support. We all started in different places, we have all taken different paths. But we are helping each other figure out how to navigate a whole new world that comes after the thrill of post WLS rapid weight loss. Trying to find what works to cross the finish line of goal weight and how to stay on the other side of that line, long term.

Day #22...workout music
Girl stuff: Kesha, Pink, Paramore, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, Britney, etc

Me too. Thank you ❤️

I'm glad you're still here ❤️❤️

Looking forward to discovering some new music on this thread! At the gym now. Here's mine:

Day 22: Music
I've fallen off the challenge wagon. I still follow all rules religiously but I haven't felt like doing anything lately. Going into one of my moods again. I do want to be here for this one. If anyone has seen other posts of mine music is everything for me. My mom had playlist going when I was born. I had one going when I died. I have one going full of my desire to live. This song is the first on the list:

Day 21! My biggest support?
My SO David is hands down my biggest supporter. We met online through a dating site, and just clicked, now we are going on year 4. He was with me after I had lost a lot of weight because of my gallbladder. He stayed when I gain a lot of weight thanks to my thyroid and other medical issues. I have had 3 surgeries in these 3 years and he was there holding my hand throughout it all. His favorite line to tell me is "I love you is a 6 word phrase. I love you... no matter what." And he has. He supported me getting back into running and bought me new running shoes. He supported me wanting to hike 52 hikes this year, one every week, and has gone with me through mud, hills, and being "out of shape" himself. My brother and momma are a close second, but this man... he lifts me up and shows me his love constantly. Meeting online CAN work, we love each others souls and no matter what holds firm!

I know. I thank God. I'm very lucky. We met on the Internet back in the days of dialup LOL. So Internet romances can work out.

My husband is absolutely my greatest support . You don’t have to be on this website for long to know that’s not always a given. I am truly lucky to have someone by my side every day who not only encourages me but is putting in the work with me. He has officially lost 75 lbs since *I* started this process because he eats well and exercises like I do.
But an important thing I’ve learned here is that I don’t NEED his support to do this. I can do it on my own with the support of people here, in-person support groups and my own determination and resiliency. Having him on my team is just icing on the cake!
@ummyasmin not a cliché, we are lucky!
pic of the husband when he was little, didn't want to post him on here

There are only 4 words in a relationship that means more than I Love You and they are " I'm here for you". Don't you wish you could go back in time? Then you would have more time to know and love him. You are an incredibly blessed woman.

Greatest support

My proudest 2018 moment? Well It was when I was rolling into the Operation Room at OSU at a couple minutes past 7 on My Wonder Wednesday September 5th 2018. I had been through so much in the 3 years I had been seeking surgery, the ups, the downs, the promises that turned into lies from Surgeon #1.The people who told me I was too old, that I was unworthy, that I never would pass my pre-surgical specialist consults, that I would never find a surgeon willing to even touch a 72 year person. I had my revenge by being commited and successful in all things that mattered. If I hadn't been lying down and with a little Happy happy Joy juice my anesthesiologist Dave had slipped into my IV already, I would have stood up, gone into a chorus of We are The Champions, and put my arms over my head like a prize-fighter! And there was my Dr Needleman , waving from my left like he promised, and the rightness of it all , almost made me cry. But there were no tears, no fears, no last second qualms, I was where I was meant to be and from that moment on, my new life began.
