Not Enough Time....



Recommended Posts

My job recently started overtime back up. With the Holidays here how could I refuse. So, here I go again with working 6 days a week. Did this over the spring and summer which didn't leave me any "real time" for my exercise routine. Which I believe kind of slowed my loss. I strongly feel that I could've been at goal by now. Had I not worked the OT it would've gave me more time to concentrate on my weight loss. Then again, I took advantage of it. I guess it will be a give and take. I will give (and take) the OT and take what I can for my loss with what time I have to devote to exercise. It is what it is. And I will take it. It will be just a bit longer than I had anticipated to reach my goal. I know it may not seem like a lot left to lose, but I have pushed myself so much and so hard this year just to get where I am. It seems as if there isn't enough time in a day anymore to work everything in. Or I'm just getting older...LOL :)

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! :)

Heya Deb :smile1:

Listen, we have to do what we have to do to live our lives. In this economy sometimes that means we have to take on extra shifts to help out our means a little bit more. I think the whole essence of having the sleeve there for us is for times exactly like this. It will keep us stay in line when life's challenges take over. I know in the past when things turned out a bit hectic for me, that would be when I would gain the most weight. Well, thanks to my sleeve that doesn't happen anymore.

Don't worry. Do your overtime and once that is up, you can get back to your program - again, thanks to your little sleevie.

Hugs!! and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you as well.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
