❤JULY 2019 CHALLENGE❤



Recommended Posts

I’m going to the gym today, the class I used to go to changed this week to “Extreme Fitness” ...yeah, I’m not going to that. The description of the class alone was intimidating. I’ll head out early today to avoid it!

Current read: I isn’t a novel, but I love having this book to pick up a thumb through randomly. Lin-Manuel Miranda is such a clever and kind human.

He wrote the plays, In the Heights and Hamilton, although everyone probably already knew that!

Went to the gym and did cardio and weights. As I was doing a set of arm pull down things the trainer walked in and corrected my form. Ouch, no wonder I thought they were easy, I was doing it wrong!

Day 17:

  • Easy and Hard arm challenges done.
  • Current Read: I am sad to say I am not reading anything right now. Sad because I love reading. But sometimes it is necessary to stay away from the books because I tend to never put them down once I start reading..to the point where I won't sleep and just read all night and day to finish it. Ya, I have issues, lol. However, I am going on a girls' vacay in a few weeks and am looking for a few good novels/ebooks to take with me so I can binge read on the beach 😎 ...Any suggestions welcome...

Guest B-side question (stole this from another thread) :

Which celebrity/famous person do you think (or others think) you look like?

B. Who do I resemble.

It is an obscure actress, Linda Fiorentino. When the original Men in Black came out strangers would stop me to inform me of the resemblance. “You look just like the actress in Men in Black”. I think it happened 10+ times over a few months. I’m sure it helped that we had the same hairstyle and color.

Even my husband mentioned it separately one day. I kind of see the resemblance, but not to the degree where I was stopped on the street. This was 20 years ago, so not so much now.

B-side:

I used to get told I look like Leah Remini (from King of Queens...never watched it though), when we each were both younger (which is really weird because I'm asian, lol).

I’m so excited. The club we joined has burger night on Thursdays and we are going tomorrow night. I am having a burger, not chicken, a burger! I might go rogue and eat half of the bun too. They have healthy side choices like fruit so I’m covered.

I haven’t had a burger in forever. I have an Iron sleeve so I have no fears.

How pathetic is my excitement?

I definitely have not worked out as much this week. I’ve been active and walking but not as much gym time. Sometimes I think I need to regroup and recharge. I’ll be walking 2 miles tonight because it isn’t going to be gross hot.

Tomorrow will be another story. We’re going to Wrigley Field for the 1 pm game and the heat index is supposed to be 105-110. Maybe I’ll sweat off a few pounds.

Day 18:

  • Easy Sleek Arms challenge done :957_heavy_check_mark:
  • Harder Toned Arms challenge done :957_heavy_check_mark: My triceps (and shoulders) are really sore today as the Kid and I did just a little over an hour of lane swimming last night, so this was particularly difficult today 😬
  • Shoes: Got my trusty flip flops on while out on a pal's porch, while we enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the day....

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
