Come and join the June challenge if you wish. Do as little or as much that works for you. Hopefully @GreenTealael will provide “B side questions “ if she has time.

Off we go!

Start by saying hi, surgery date (unless you are pre-op), type of surgery and state 1 or 2 goals you plan to accomplish this month. Goals don’t have to be weight or food related. Everyone is welcome to join at anytime, we are just supporting each other.

Everything I am worried about at the moment...
1) I had to stay up until 2AM for work and am so dead tired but promised I'd go to spin class later and I want to diiiiiie.

2) My floor was installed but the bathroom hasn't been put back together and I am waiting for an appraiser to come so I can get qualified for plastic surgery funds.

3) Plastic surgery is so far away and I want it NOW NOW NOWWWW. And need to lose that 37lbs by November.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Now i really want to know

Limb raises done!

Worried about today: Work, always work. I'm fortunate though that is my only true stressor.

I was planning for a long walk today. I had an appointment across town, so it is a nice 5+ mile walk round trip. But work got in the way, and I didn't have time to walk, I drove instead.

Anyone else need a destination in order to be motivated to get out and walk? I never just go for a stroll. But I am happy to go to my dry cleaners, the store, eyebrow threading. I guess I need more errands!

One thing I’d change..that’s tough. I’ll go big and say JFK would not have been killed. It feels like a lot of dominos fell after that.

Nothing else to say on that matter, not going to get political.

Gym was a success today, did leg raises and I get to watch trashy TV tonight.

B Side: I would change the way I perceived my body as a teenager/pre-teen. I would have loved myself and never gained weight from depressive overeating. I would go back in time and slap myself and tell myself how good I have it.

Alternatively, I would have opted for my Masters in Experimental Psych rather than have gone to law school, which I did only to please my family.

Either one would have changed my life drastically.

Yes, I’m very much like this.

I'd kinda like to try one of those baller treadmills where you log on and join other people around the world walking on simulated trails from around the world. Like you see the screen and the scenery as you walk, and see the other people signed in with you walking around.

Day 4 - whoops... missed this one entirely. Spent the day in bed trying to get rid of this wretched cough.

Day 5 - worries? Biggest one right now is that my hubs has a job interview happening in less than 10 minutes. We *really really REALLY* need him to get a new job, but I'm not sure that this is the right option. Add to that, my hubs is on the spectrum (aspergers), and he doesn't always do well in interviews.

At least my cough is improving now, and I woke up this morning to a 3.4lb weighloss.

B-side: Time machine question... I would want to be a fly on the wall throughout my grandparents' courtship/love story. It's a long rambling story that involves

• a young man lying about his age to get into the army during WWII,
• a Dear John letter,
• an Irish woman named Molly, and her father with a gun,
• D-day and the Liberation of Holland,
• my grandmother going to visit my grandfather when he came home from the war and then writing to her family a month later asking them to send her clothes because she got married.

OMG... That could be a novella ?

I've considered writing it many times. I told myself I would wait until after they had both passed. Grandma passed a number of years ago and Grandpa passed away last fall. I guess the time has come.
