Canadian "AUGUST" Challenge

[Buffie 1]

Just for the record, I'm working out like a freak ONLY because I'm eating like a freak and I'd gain weight if I wasn't. God I'm pathetic. I'm going for a 2 cc fill tomorrow, Kathy at TLBC said to go for 2, so I'm doing it. I'll be at 7 cc then.

Buffie, hey you have lost over40 pounds since June,,,,c'mon, that is great , so dont' say you are pathetic. We all gained weight, isn't that why we're here. You are workign out diligently which from what i read, not all:scared: of us are doing, so you must be commended on it and be proud of your self. You are doing great!

Thanks Kim, you're a sweety.

One more thing, NO popcorn FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST. Orville Reddenbacher is probably rolling in his grave as I type this.

Well, I've decided to make my Canadian August Challenge to do 10,000 steps a day recorded by the evil pedometer I bought. 10,000 steps daily is what is recommended for health.. and I have been terrible about walking. I swim every other day for about an hour, but I want to up my walking. Of course there's a heat wave, and I'm living out of a tiny camper with no walking space, but I'm not going to let that stop me! If I can't get it in between dog walks and trips to malls/stores. I'm going to walk in place in the camper (there isn't room to turn around enough to pace!). Since there is 31 days in august it should be 310000 steps for the month, but I'm giving myself one days worth of grace and rounding it down to 300000 steps for the month of august. I'm about to strap the pedometer on now to walk in place while I watch Oprah, LOL. Let's go Canadian bandsters! We can do it!!!!

hi kim is it getting any easier(pre op). did you have to cook chicken? sorry to hear about your finger.

[kimmason 0]

Loriely

No chicken thus far!!! i dream about ANYTHING but yogurt though! :hungry:

[Buffie 1]

Kim, when I was on my pre-op diet I had a chix breast one night...it was the best damn chicken I've ever had! You're doing great, keep it up!

Yoda, I'm right with you...popcorn, chips..all that crap has to go. We can do it!!!

[kimmason 0]

No , no chicken breast yet but I can just feel the out of control thing happening......I could eat EVERYTHING in sight right now. Actually I am going to eat before the surgery. I told the pre op co-ordinator that I had already committted to doing a bbq/b day dinner for my son and mother on august 7th and how could I make all of this frigging food and not eat any? I am living for that day. Then I have three days to go to surgery...august 10th. I would have to postpone the surgery to another date if she said no, but I am not goign to lie, so as much as you guys support me I am far from doing great, I LIVE for the 7th rreight now and honestly I know I will have to have popcorn /cake etc when everyone leaves cuz what I eat in front of people is nothing compared to my own little world. I actually got out a video and started to film this..yup I lifted my shite, held my gut and cried etc......I will get through this, perhaps at a snails pace, but I knwo I am addicted and I stil want to eat ......but with help from YOU and fills etc, i hope to ONE day get a hold of this and feel full.

Ok, so today is my weigh in day. 242.2, so, if I make my challenge this month, it'll make me 234.2 lbs

[Yoda 0]

You can do it Mandi!!! You & I both have an 8 lb goal for Aug!!!!

Okay, Okay, August 3rd and I haven't exercized yet. But I AM today!!! Is anyone else in Ontario going mad with this heat?

[Leila 0]

Cloe - yes, going insane with the heat. Being from Vancouver I'm not used to the regular hot humid weather of Ontario, never mind this super humid heat wave. I'm sticking around until Dr. Cobourn gets my fill right! LOL. I didn't make my goal of 10,000 steps yesterday, way too hot. Even in the AC of the camper van I just wanted to crash and recuperate. I'm tempted to lower my goal of steps to a lower number, but at the same time, I know if I keep it high, I probably won't make my goal, but, I will probably do more than if I lower it. I think I'll keep it where it's at.

Leila, what's up with your fills? What band do you have, and how many fills, what are you at now?.........Nosey eh? Just wondering cause I think I might call for a little fill. :confused:
