#8 List of accomplishments: I've got some big ones, and some some small ones, but the accomplishment I am most proud of to date is when I quit smoking 8 years ago. Smoking was such a big part of my life, so quitting and not looking back was/is a really big thing for me.

B-side: I still take chewable Vitamin D, Calcium & Vitamin B12 (all Jamieson brands), only because I have a huge stash of them and am just finishing them off. Once they are done, I'll go back to my regular tablets waiting for me in my pantry that I was taking pre-op (all costco brands).

#9 Drink more water: I think I already drink a lot of water...about 2.5-3 litres a day. It's always hot Water, as I find I can drink so much more than when it's cold.

P.S. My lashes are still au naturel at the moment...the Kid has been too busy this weekend (homework, then hanging/shopping with friends) to play makeup with mom...grrrrr.

I already drink at least 64 oz a day but I’m going to try to bump that up. I’ve been having headaches the last few days which I haven’t had since pre op. Hoping it’s just being dehydrated now that it’s warmer 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m feeling grumpy and a bit defeated ... I seem to be on a stall! Just as I started the challenge! Maybe it’s psychological... or maybe it’s those damn metabolic control- freak spirits trying to test my metal!! “Huff”

Hello,

Ok, so I have accomplished my lunges and plank for today. I find lunges very awkward. I also made it to the gym this morning. I am well on my way to getting extra Water in. I had my usual workday fluids done by lunch today and should have completed 70 oz before I go home. I average around 64 oz daily. And then when I get home, I can drink even more! Perfect day for this challenge. I've been working on trying to get more fluids in so this is good.

I'm your spirit guide! I'm up and down like a roller coaster trying to find maintenance. I'm grumpy because of the weather but i plan to say screw it and indulge in a plank 😝

You are not alone. I find lunges so awkward. I've watched a few different videos to make sure I'm doing them correctly but it still feels weird.

9. I try to get 64 oz a day. To up it today instead of having a shake or Protein Bar for my snack I had two bottles of Protein Water to supplement my protein today.

No lunges and no planks, but I did work a 10hr busy shift and then went to the thunder game.
Lots of walking and stair climbing and jumping up and down cheering and I drank over 96 ounces Water.
Lol, probably going to get up at least twice to go to the bathroom, but it will be worth it

I get up twice no matter what! So frustrating

      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? 🤷‍♀️
