Oh! All i could think of was

🎶 somewhere over the rainbow🎶

when I saw this... Enjoy life, do 10 jumping jacks, grudgingly have some kale, partake in *cardio*, eat a carrot, stress less- Balance...

Aloha!

This travel is cutting into my cardio! :P

Just reviews Dr Angela Bosworth €Dr Boz) from YOU- Tube, much if what she says bears much truth, I know, now a little more about me to keto/low inflammatory diets. Am I ready to jump on this bandwagon and go to IF. Not quite yet, still hsvebto have my,pouch accept a more varied diet. But Much food for THOUGHT!

Oh @sillykitty hang in there - we are currently two peas in a pod. Your traveling job is making it souch harder for you.

I am in for 3#s but think I can manage better this week. I need to refocus on my reasons for wanting to lose the next 20-30.

Thanks ...

I mean, it's easy to use the traveling as an excuse. But it is entirely possible to make good choices, even while traveling for work. I'm just not motivated to do so right now. :unsure:

own it baby!!! :) Honestly, I think we all have times like this. And we all knew you were facing a challenging month going into it! So really, no guilt, no beatings--only enjoyment during this season. Then get back and get serious. I think maybe the thing that got most of us (at least me for sure) to the Obesity Ball is that I had TOO many of those times back to back until I just lost all will to try...So the danger lies in not being able to stem that tide and turn your motivation back on when you get back to some semblance of normalcy.

You can do this girl...think of the cardio! ;) :D

Thanks @FluffyChix

I am glad that this does feel like a temporary f*ck it phase, and not a long term, who gives a crap type thing. I am confident that after I come back from vacay, I'll be able to get back on the wagon, or at least make healthy choices a majority of the time.

I think it's really hard to get in "discipline" mode with a vacay on the horizon. I just feel like "why bother". I tend to be short-sighted that way - sigh 😦

Sigh... this weekend was supposed to be 3 days, 2 nights of camping and hiking. It ended up raining or being SUPER foggy because we were no lie, chilling out in a cloud. Our camp was about 2200 feet above sea level. Great views typically... lots of good hiking, but with how wet and just totally soaked everything was, my buddy and I only got in 1, 2 mile with only like 300 - 500 feet of elevation change. The good thing though, as this was a trial run for when we go to Maine for when we climb Katahdin, I was able to pack for my new diet and didn't have much issue at all... I tried not to poo for a bit... the burger we had sunday night did NOT want to hang around... so I was forced to use the pit toilet... but other than that little issue... and the rain, things went well. Except I gained like 2 lbs. womp womp

      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!!
