Maudeispam - great things how you doing?

Lisa - very nice hey you worked on it and that is awesome. Any "I will(s) today?

DeeDee- that is a great start. I teach and in some odd way it's nice not to have the temptation to go out to eat. I have to eat what I bring. So if I can make the choice to bring healthy stuff i'm good to go from then on out. Any "I wills?"

I love that we are keeping this going, it is really making me stick to what I say because I don't want to come on here and tell you guys otherwise. :)

Good morning, fellow bandsters. When I saw this thread I thought this is what I really need. I know that if I followed all the rules (ok, even SOME of the rules), I would be more successful than I am right now. Today I would like to do the following:

1. Not graze in between meals.

2. Finish taking down and putting away the Xmas decorations (what's the rush, it's only JANUARY 10th!!!!)

My kids get home at 3pm, and #2 has to be finished by then.

You guys are all great. When I'm feeling down, I spend a little time here, and I can feel my spirits rise. Thank you.

Mayra

yesterday's goals

1) walk 60 minutes with weighted shoes - did 20 minutes walk with weighted shoes and 20 minute walk in regular shoes

2) not eat after 7 ---- blew the crap out of this one

3) spend my noon getting closet doors - took an hour vacation yesterday to go buy them

I think I got in over my head hiring people to remodel while I go to Mexico for 2 weeks. I forgot about all the decisions I have to make in a hurry.

Today's goals

1) face the music - weight gain - when I see the surgeon and nutritionist today

2) 40 minutes on the treadmill - done

3) pick out medicine cabinet, toilet topper, blind, towel racks, floor tile, counter top for bathroom (this may take 2 days)

4) not eat after 8

5) remember to relax and unwind

I love this thread.....I too need accountability.... I vow to do these two things today:

I vow to exercise for 45 minutes - I did already one hour at the gym walking 30 minutes and then weight machines other part of time there.

I vow to write down everything that goes in my mouth on fitday.com. (My public journal is at http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=BEFAIN (Feel free to go there and check on me daily....)

Thanks for starting this thread...

2) 40 minutes on the treadmill - done - and did an additional 15 minute walk

Left to do

3) pick out medicine cabinet, toilet topper, blind, towel racks, floor tile, counter top for bathroom (this may take 2 days)

Okay, Lisa, I'm going to have to keep myself busy tonight so I don't eat. I will keep checking on you to see if you have exercised.

Wow guys it is GREAT to come home from work and see so many replies.

Boysmom how did you do? Did you make your 3:00 goal?

RoadQueen it is awesome you still held your self accountable for yesterday and I think it's good to modify your goals and what not. I had to cut back my Water from 8 to 6 becuase it was too much for me. 2 of your Goals are done! YEAH!

Lisa that is awesome, ship it ship it! Hey after 2 days of excersizing I broke down and actually wrote it down as a goal. I was afraid to because I didn't want to write it and not do it. SO IF I'M GOING SO ARE YOU! GOT IT? :confused: You can do it...you will do it...and you will kick butt.

So far i've had my healthy meals (and the salad is in the fridge) and i've had 4 bottles of Water out of 6. Till tonight

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
