We're moving our storage unit this morning. I'm taking an extra jacket and gloves!
 

Day 8 update: Ok, so I've had these ice cream bars in my freezer since last Spring and I didn't care until yesterday when I ate one. Definitely challenged by this challenge. Hmmm, have some head work to do.
Day 9: Wow, I'm glad that I've been to all the places I've been. I learned things and had fun. But, you know, a few years ago, my mother and I visited Argentina where she was born and I am very happy that we had that trip together.
And on a side note, I visited the endocrinologist yesterday and I officially no longer have diabetes! Yay!!! This journey itself has been so worth it!

7. Update: Well, I ate the other half of the candy bar yesterday at lunch. But, I had expected it so my plan was adjusted accordingly. And I have either have a cold or allergies but my head's all stuffed up and I'm full of sneezes and sniffles.
8. Hmm, no candy in the house so should be a good day. I think the life lesson I am most grateful for was the time I was married. I learned a lot and it changed the trajectory of my life.

Day 8
Completed day 2 of clean eating after a VERY shaky start of this challenge. Craving sweets (my nemesis) has been minimal.

Life lesson I am grateful for? Uhnmm?[emoji848][emoji848] I don't know why I always rely on cliches when I want to communicate my "deep" thoughts![emoji28] But life lesson is the power of Never Saying Never and NEVER work on someone else's time but mine as my time will come and it will be perfect for me.
Many instances in my life when I have wondered if something was achievable and when I wait long enough and put effort, I achieve it at the right time for me.
I'm grateful for these experiences as I'm significantly more self assured than I thought I could ever be[emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]

Day 8: The life lesson I am most grateful to have learned is that it is never too late to take action to change the path and course of your life. Three years ago I was in bad physical shape, depressed and unable to do hardly anything. I thought at age 59 I was too old for things to improve. I am so grateful that I was wrong and that I was able to make positive changes and am now much healthier and happier. I now look forward to the future where I used to dread getting up every day.

Day 8: One of the life lessons I'm most grateful for is learning to always forgive. Whatever the issue may be, its not worth holding a grudge. Forgive people not for them, but for yourself, for your own peace! ❤️

1. My personal goal is to get back to exercising regularly. I need to star toning up.
2. RNY in 9/4/14. Just over 2 months post-op and still losing
3. CW: 247.6. BMI is 39.9 (in the severely obese category)
4. I am most grateful that I have been given this opportunity to become healthy again. I want to be around for grandkids!!

Day 8: What lesson in life are you most grateful in experiencing?
Without getting into too much detail, I learned 7 years ago that when push comes to shove, and no matter how sh*tty I think my situation is, I learned that I am way stronger than I thought I ever was and, until I am dead, I can get through whatever comes my way eventually. 💪🏼
Nothing is ever over until its over.

Day 7
As much as I intellectually know how much hormones matter in our lives, it's always astounding to me when confronted by it physically and emotionally! As soon as aunt Flo came, ALL cravings DIED off!!!!! Like it never happened [emoji50][emoji50][emoji50]
2 absolutely clean days without any angst, desires or cravings. All my usual vices paraded in front of me without an eyelash bat!! I didn't even see the goodies talk more of putting them in my mouth!!
So glad to know I don't have that much of a rebellious self sabotaging streak!!![emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] very grateful for that!!

Books I'm grateful for? Not even humanly possible to choose. I epitomize a serious bookworm and can't imagine life without books!! I'll still say though that because of the age and time I read "To kill a mockingbird " it had profound lifelong effects on me!!

Day 8 just began so I'll be back [emoji176][emoji176][emoji176]

Maybe a mere Side Gratitude, but I am grateful for you -And your original November SURGERY, it brought me someone I look up to and always read the postings of, never met you in the Flesh but always regarded YOU as a Friend. So Thank You for your excellent advice as time has gone by for Us both!

6. Nature - I think what I love most about it is watching life in action from the cycles of the season to seeing living things going about their business whether it's an insect, bird, or squirrel. All of it works for me. And yes, I love Water and am not happy when I'm not near some.
7. Hard to choose any one book. Maybe one of my first ones that turned me into a reader. There was Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Trumpeter Swan, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
On the food challenge...did well on Tuesday, nearly made it through yesterday but had 1/2 a candy bar last night. On another note, I just gave up daily coffee today...I was drinking it to support regularity but way too much sugar and since I stopped taking Biotin, no problem with regularity. So...I know, tmi.

5. I suppose the item I'm most grateful for after my fur babies is my bed! I love being all cozy and comfortable. Did well on the food challenge yesterday. My meals are all plotted out so as long as there aren't any hazards at work or yoga tonight, I should be all good.

Day 4. So far, so good on the food challenge. I have so many memories that I cherish that it is hard to choose one in particular. Perhaps that's the point of the challenge, to remember all that has been good or good for us in this life. There are people, fur babies, events, places and times that are all so wonderful. I was thinking that my memories of meeting and overcoming challenges are huge (like when I was rock climbing and made it to the top) because they help me know that I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to. That helps a lot.

Hello...a little late but I'm here.
Goal...keep losing and exercising and get in more fluids. 195 as of today. Sleeve 12/12/18
1. Grateful to be alive and full of energy.
2. I think I'm most grateful for my car as far as technology goes...it means I can go places.
3. I think cheese might be the food I'm most grateful for. It's really hard to choose though.
The food challenge is going to be a challenge. Yesterday I had half a donut at yoga...I was grateful that they'd been cut in half. I did include it in my tracking. I exchanged potato for fruit when I was out to breakfast with friends so that was good. I don't expect to be perfect but I will make sure I don't bring any of the no no list home and will keep healthy Snacks handy so I can make good choices. I did get some dried mango while I was at Trader Joe's yesterday and didn't get any other types of sweets while I was there.
