June 2019 challenge



Recommended Posts

10. Ok, 25 jumping jacks completed but not particularly gracefully. What do I most want to be remembered by? Being a good person who enjoyed life and helped others with a good dose of laughter.

Hello! My roux en y was 4/4/2018 and I've lost 115lbs. This month I want to get to the 160s from the 170s and get back on track with my Water intake/food journaling. I'm not gaining but I've been on a plateau for about 6 weeks and it's super frustrating!

Any one out there with some good plateau busters?

6/10: Jumping jacks will likely be done - trainer session today at 5:30!

I would like to be remembered for my honesty. Someone who anyone could come to for straight-forward advice and someone who, for better or worse, never lied. Also someone who was always faithful and loyal in friendships and in relationships. And someone who cared about her community and is trying to make it a better place to live, even though it has its share of troubles.

I took a new class today, Women on Weights. 😵 The instructor was not playing! I am now a human noodle. I don’t think I’ll try jumping jacks just yet. I have a date with a hammock this afternoon.

I want to be remembered for being a kind, funny and honest person.

@Jonsie27 I am far from an expert, from my short lived experience cutting (and 100% tracking) my calories by 100 and increasing my exercise really helped me get things moving. Getting a Fitbit really helped me too.

1/3 of the way into June, we’ve got this! 👸

I won't be having a good cry today, I don't feel the need to. I haven't cried in ages and I used to cry at the drop of a hat! It's so freeing to not feel so emotional all the time. I feel...even-keeled and content. On the other hand, I've gained 3 pounds this week due to some lax eating habits and not working out over the weekend so that KINDA makes me tear up a bit. :P

I am not a fan of #11. I don’t understand the benefit of manufacturing a feel bad day.

I didn’t realize how many of the exercises on this list are ones I have never done or never do. I have never done a burpee but I do know they can be considered punishment! I’m going to give them a whirl after my coffee.

I am going for a long walk today then hopefully see the Elton John movie later. I do miss movie popcorn, but I can live without it.

@thatch Glad you caught your 3 lb gain quickly, are you going to change things up?

Don't stress, its probably mostly Water retention. I can gain 3 lbs overnight for no reason, then it goes away a few days later and I've changed literally nothing!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
