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.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
