Canadian Challange



Recommended Posts

uggg... excercise... I'm planning on walking to and from work, as soon as I start. Is that good? How about I WALK to Tim Horton's for my coffee and donut in the morning?? LOL Just kidding, I'm not doing that anymore!

How about we set our own things to challenge ourselves with, and report on how we've done, whenever we're supposed to... ex:

CLOE wants to run 6 miles a day and eat 70 grams of Protein a day.

argon wants to lose 20 pounds and drink all her water!

Yoda want to sexercise 4 times a day.

kimmason wants to stop fantasizing about Brad Pitt.

etc, etc

We could start a new thread, list everyones goals in the first post, and everyone has to post how they're doing once a week (or even everyday, if they want).

Yoda: no no... I guess it's depending on how long of a challenge. I was thinking 20lbs in 3 months!

Cloe: I am sooo not a runner. I'm pretty sure you'd win. How about we make it a fall challenge? Since it's almost fall... it could be a 3 month thing. Then we could have a new one for winter? Anyone can join mid-way or whatever. What do you think? Or would you guys prefer a one month thing?

Irishmist: I'm with you. Exercise sucks!! Maybe someday I'll start enjoying it.

That is the trick Argon...for exercise: to find something you love (or at least like) doing...then it isn't a chore!

Okay...my goals/personal challenges for Aug will be as follows:

1. No chips for the month of August (this will be VERY difficult for me) .... "Strong with the Dark Side, this place be"

2. Lose a total of 8 pounds

It will be a challenge considering that I need a fill and I can't get it until 25 Aug.....

oh CRAP!!! Mr. Yoda just read my personal challenge/goals for Aug and HE said that "chips" also includes "cheezies & ringolos". Of course, I beg to differ.....Mr Yoda just said, "My own council I shall keep"....(drats to him!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK???? is it the same as chips?

*sigh* ahhhh, never mind....if I'm completely honest with myself I KNOW that "chips" includes those things. Okay....I will amend my #1 to include cheezies and ringolos. Okay, now I've made an almost next to impossible challenge for myself.

ssssssh don't tell Mr Yoda...but that means cupcakes are okay!!!! hehehehe.

OMG, I was only kidding about the running thing!!! Unless, of course, I'm running over to Mr. and Mrs. Yoda's house to get those ringolo's their gonna throw out:) .

Okay, a fall thing it is, Aug,Sept,Oct, right? I'll start the thread tommorow.

Irishmist, I'm so impressed, Can you really exercise EVERY day, I was thinking more along the line of 3-4 times a week. But I'm up for the challenge.

Kim, tommorrow is day three for you already!!

      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!!
