Recommended Posts

Hmmm
Got it! It may have been too complex...
I *could* host another one. New phone arriving tomorrow. And o could make it very simplistic. I will see if there is a need/want for a March challenge.
Thanks for the feedback [emoji738][emoji738][emoji738]

A burpee is an AWFUL exercise move that blast the air right out of you! Just to do 5-10 will feel like death!

(really good for you)

Stand up, arms up, jump down into a plank, do a pushup, jump back up and jump, rinse, and repeat.

DAY 27: One day left in the challenge. I made my goal of losing 7 lbs! That may not seem like a lot, but I'll take it!😊 I had stalled for awhile and I think the different exercises made the difference. Yes, I still look like an uncoordinated chicken doing the jumping jacks. But I can do them!! The burpees continue to be a challenge, however I can do more of them now, then at the beginning of the challenge. I'm really proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone of just walking for exercise.

Day 28... LAST DAY! LAST DAY LAST DAY!

  • No junk food since last check-in: CHECK! I will take it as a given that there will still be no junk food until midnight tonite :)
  • 1m plank + 1m side planks SORT OF. I did the minute regular plank, and I did about 20 seconds on my right side only. Screw the left side. I went to hot yoga this morning. I'm excused.
  • Public Self Loving #23 Selfie with "I love myself" sign: PASS.

Feb 1st weight: 168.2 lbs
Feb 28th weight: 158.8 lbs

Total weight loss in Feb: 9.4 lbs


Challenge Review:

  • CHECK! Complete No Junk food Challenge: I had zero junk this month. Though "no junk food" is more my normal way of eating anyway.
  • SO-SO. Complete Plank-Challenge (less the mountain climbers): I did not do all of them, as I missed probably 4 or 5 days, and there were days that I did attempt but did not complete. In all, I think I did more than I didn't do, and I'm ok with that. Also, I HATE PLANKS.
  • CHECK! Weight Loss Goal #1: 162.5 lbs : I reached 162.1 on Feb 23rd. Now I thought this would move me out of the obese category and into the "overweight" category, but apparently I am shorter than I thought I was so, for my actual height, I need to get under 158.7, which is a mere 0.1 lbs away...sooooooo close!
  • NOPE. Weight Loss Goal #2: 156.8 lbs : I wanted to get to this weight to weigh less than Mr., but it'll have to wait until next month.

Thanks again @GreenTealael for hosting this challenge :) but I'm never joining another plank challenge again.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
