❤ FEBRUARY 2019 CHALLENGE ❤



Recommended Posts

How are we feeling Team????

Oh lads, I had THE WORST DAY.
It started off with a Protein pancake. It was a sample from the chemist and it tasted so fake, so I put some canned whipped cream and sugar-free Syrup on it and by Breakfast end I'd used up over 300 calories without feeling satisfied so I ate a Protein Bar but then I felt sick. So I didn't eat lunch, got hungry and lost the battle that had been raging in me for over a week to buy junk (yeah, I crapped out on the challenge). So I'm stuffing my face with chickadees and Mars Bars knowing full well its going to make me as sick as a dog. Lads, the taste wasn't even good! The chocolate was sickly sweet and the chickadees were overly salt and processed nothingness.

THEN came the dumping and reactive hypoglycaemia.

After I recovered I ate a white bread roll with smashed banana and chicken nuggets.

I literally don't know what happened to me. I have been SO GOOD for months with only a minor slip up now and again. What the heck???

Back in the saddle tomorrow and I'll assess the damage at next weigh-in, but I feel like an alcoholic that is on that naxalone drug and I couldn't even get "high" just sick and now I'm regretting everything.

Sigh. Oh lads, just when I thought I was in control. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

I've been good so far, no junk! I keep waiting on my chocolate covered strawberries, but they keep selling out before I can get some (blessing in disguise?).

Spin class this morning, first one ever. I will not be able to walk tomorrow, or even later today.

#6 My husband (pictured left) makes me smile because he's funny, witty, and very supportive. He's been stepping up with our 8-year-old while I'm trying to get my hiney to the gym and he'll do anything I ask.

DAY #7:

  1. Exercise: Tried some different exercises today. Wrists are aching from doing the burpees. Jumped rope, not pretty at all!😀😀.
  2. No junk food, but why is eveything so tempting?
  3. What makes me truly happy? Seeing a sunrise and sunset. Absolutely beautiful.
  4. Was starting to stress because weight has stayed the same. However, I haven't had a stall yet. So I'm going to hang in there.

Feb. 7th:

My kids make me absolutely happy. I like them as people. My youngest child secretly became her own talent manager, without anyone's permission i just receive casting calls. My middle child is a ruthless business woman who requires a microloan every 6 weeks for a new venture, my eldest is a stoic going to medical school camp (like space camp) this summer and he decided he wanted to take college and high school coursework at the same time. They each inherited some part of my personality unfiltered. But I feel ok leaving the world in their hands.

Favorite clothing item:

Bespoke Kimono #1. I made it for surgery and have worn it everyday since. When It needs to be retired it will be a sad day.

With great pride I want to share that today my scale showed -50 kilos (110lbs) and I am so freakin amazed with myself!
I think I have a grin from ear to ear and although I have to lose 50 kilos more I am already ecstatic!
So that is what makes me smile hehehe

Favorite item of clothing: the top I wore on my first date with my husband

We'd been close friends for years before we were single at the same time and decided* to take it to the next level

I almost tossed it 2 yrs ago because I was certain I'd never wear it again. Now I'm only about 30lbs away!

*decided: woke up in my bed together after a drunken night of debauchery, hehehe

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
