Hump Day! Wednesday....what you doin?



Recommended Posts

Happy Hump Day everyone! It's past noon here in NY, so we are the down slide into the weekend!!! Wooo HOOO now if I can only stay awake!

The cold weather is really taking it out of me! Inside it's warm, almost too warm, and I am falling asleep as I thaw out!! Day dreaming of Hawaii and walks on the beach....snorkeling with the fishes and not busting out of my swim suit.

What's motivating you today?

It's cold in the midwest and our computer servers are running slow. Instead of eating the junk food that is in the break room. I am going to do a 30 min workout in my office. I recently discover that I can access you tube from work and it's not running slow.... For now. :D

I am being a lazy bum still in my PJ's at 4, cooking dinner for my hubby. It got a little chilly here in Florida last night so I don't want to go outside. If ever my fibromyalgia will ever let me exercise again I would love to. For now just trying to keep my head above Water. If anyone would have told me a year ago that I would not be able to go to my regular job because of my fibro I would have called them a liar. Oh well hells bells no use crying over spilled milk. Hopefully going back to work at a new job next week.

I didn't want to...but I went to the gym and got my 40 min walk in before the muscle heads and my boss arrived. Just finishing up as he was snapping a towel at my ass to get my attention :)

The muscle heads....yeah you can just see them saying "I pick things up and put them down". It's either that or the orgasm patrol that ugh and ooo and ahhh ooo mmmm through ever set. Thank God for noise canceling headphones!!!

Lisa, do you work at a gym? This is hilarious. I sense a book coming on, or a film.

Big doings today for me. I was on the subway twice. I haven't been on the subway in three years. Between the crowds and the stairs, I stopped a long time ago and stayed above ground. But anyone who knows Manhattan, knows that this time of the year especially, the streets are almost totally gridlocked and if you want to get anywhere quickly, you have to take the subway. I gave it a shot and did great even with the crowds. I still have the cane so I got a seat and people let me get out even when the train was full. And I walked up two flights when I got to my stop. Wasn't winded at all. The last time I did those stairs, I thought I'd pass out because I was huffing and puffing so bad. Today was a good day.

I had a very busy day for my first day of the preop diet. It was great to keep busy. Lots of errands and a last appointment with the surgeon before the surgery next week. Motivation isn't too hard just yet. Plus, the hubby is doing my preop diet with me just to show support. Love him!

      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!!
