Ok, catching up.
#1 Ha! Pasted @GreenTealael post to inspire brevity and cuz it was so great and concise! Then forgot to remove it! Derp! I'm not hebrew--I'm Irish/Cath.
I'm a semi-obsessed amateur nutritionist with 3 clients: me, myself, and I. I love long walks by the lake, intermittent fasting, eating clean, hanging out binge-watching Netflix, going to Skeeters games, and cooking and laughing with family and friends. I enjoy spending all day playing mah jong (sp?), hearts, and 42 and the occasional glass of deep red wine.
Day 1...
RNY Feb 20, 2018; still losing VERRRRY slowly...
Feb 1st weight: 147.2 lbs
Feb Challenge Goals:
a) Complete No Junk food Challenge
b) Partially Complete Exercise Challenge
d) Partially Complete the Public Self-Love Challenge (I'm gonna half ass this as usual. Good luck with getting facial recognition on me. I don't intend to give you that many target points. ha! As if! Take that Google and FB!)
Feb Weight Goals:
a) 144lbs : this will move me out of the "overweight" BMI range and into healthy. I was there for a hot minute one day (after a huge poop. So here's hoping to see that again!
b) 140 lbs : this will take me all the way to Goal #2. I haven't been 140lbs since I was 18 years old. (I wore a size 6 and thought I was so fat...*sigh*)
January 31, 2019:

#2. The eyes have it. These are totally my grandmother's eyes with maybe the milkman's eye color. I see her and my daddy when I look at my eyes.

#3 Generosity. I'm generous with myself, my time/talents/possessions, etc.
#4 Being different--the square peg that doesn't fit in very often and being overly passionate about things and then beating myself up for being so outspoken and different.

February 4th

1. I've been overweight my whole adult life, even more (except for a couple of normal teenage years and even then I had body dysmorphia). But I'm a generally optimistic person, the glass is almost always half full except when I think about the state of politics. Then it's empty. There is no glass, there never was as I stare into a nihilistic void of pessimism.
2. I think I have a nice, friendly face. I'm always told I look much younger than I am but I never wear makeup (hate the feel of it on my skin) and the only thing I wash my face with is Water (three to five times a day coz #muslim) so I have a very clear complexion and hardly any wrinkles for my years.
3. I'm caring. I usually am happy to go out of my way to help you except when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of (ending on a preposition, oh my!)
For all the points above الحمدلله.

OMG nopety nope nope. Planked. Day 3 schedule, but my first day. I am vigorously out of shape for that type of exercise.

Got lucky here! Super supportive family so we have healthy Snacks of peanuts, cheese, salami, pickles, ham and cheese roll ups with lemonade and teas for drinks! They are eating pizza, but I can't eat that with CD anyway so no temptation there. Hope everyone else is doing okay! You guys got this, this is a tough day!

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY IS TOUGH BECAUSE OF TREATS ... HOW IS EVERYONE DOING?

[emoji738]

Day 3
Super bowl Sunday. Temptation is everywhere! JUNK food is everywhere!!!
No junk food challenge is a challenge today! Drinking a lot of flavored water!
Love yourself challenge- one personality trait that I like about myself is my sense of humor.

Fave facial feature & body part: eyes and eyelashes
I'm hoping to progress to the point of loving more parts of my body from the neck down. I'm getting there! I can really appreciate how strong my legs/butt are getting, but love them? Not quite yet...
Late night pic after a fun party, first time since surgery; pretty fun last night, not so much this morning

I’m in!

Me too RoRo Kitty, afraid I'll eventually look l7ke a fat bellied spider, thin legs , thinner arms, and a garbage gut! Do hope I prove me wrong. I would love to do a Plank but with a plate and 12 screws in right upper arm, a PICC line in my upper left arm, I don't see it happening. My beleagured upper limbs just have to be excused from that task. But there are plenty of February options I can participate in and feel proud I met them!

Jan. 3rd:
Personality traits- Cunning/fortitude/endurance.
I don't like to let myself down or give up and certainly not easily. I will rework, reorder, realign and change directions twice but end goal is always in mind. I'm always thinking about the future.
I will try a plank today

So for day 2, reality has kind of slapped me in the face. I am not the young girl who, when I last weighed this much, was working out twice a day. My muscles are nonexistent and I'm having to start from scratch. So February goals have changed to: the no junk food challenge, Feb Ab challenge, and self love. With that, running, and my weekly hikes it'll be hard to not be overwhelmed. For today's self love - I chose my "Care bear cheeks" they run in my family from my moms side. I got teased for them all the time and use to hate them, but now I love them!

Mine would be my widows peak in my front hairline, I used have a strawberry birthmark right below that,but it has faded with time but if I geel flushed it does magically reappears some. Others would be my lips and 😃 smile, it usually is sincere and honest, cause I usually am a happy little camper! Incidentally one of my Aussie penpals I sent my picture to, @Ummyasmin, told me my eyes are the same shade as a Dingo Dog, should this please or offend me? Never knew which way to think!👈👸👉

Fave feature...newfound collarbones

Favourite facial feature: my eyes. I have green eyes which although they are on the yellow end of the green spectrum rather than the blue, they're rather unusual to have, statistically speaking, so I like them!

I hate you and your flat stomach !! I am just belly with legs and arms lol

You can choose to write about something instead of photograph it!

Also today I cleaned my wardrobe. I put in a huge bag all my huge clothes that are starting to fall when I walk and kept only the clothes I had when I was at about this weight several years ago and I bought some new leggings and panties from C&A :p
It was a strange feeling because usually I was putting clothes in the side because they were too small to wear them, now they are huge to wear them !

Hello there!
My selfie from work :)
I guess my favorite part is my lips although my lipstick is not on the spot in this one :p
I studied industrial chemistry in Scotland, but I am working in tourism for the past almost 10 years. I lived in a farm at some point of my life, I love animals and I have adopted two cats at home.
For my body type, I am a huge belly and it is the last part of my body I am losing weight from... it feels way too slow but I know I will make it at the end !
Day two of no junk food
Will follow with some exercises in the following days !
