27. Good morning! Last night, I watched "Juanita" which I thoroughly enjoyed. This morning, I stayed in bed an extra hour (so I'll count that as my relax time) and ended up doing Body Groove for my cardio before breakfast instead of going to the gym. I'm not sure yet what else I will do today on the exercise front but gym or PIYO or yoga are options.

Have a happy Tuesday!!!

PS. Something popped during the night and whatever was out of alignment seems to have resolved itself. Yay!!

Lol, work today was pretty much cardio for 10-11 hours.
Not even September and we’ve gotten so busy.

Relaxation is happening now that dinner and dishes are done

August flew by!

Instead of a movie I watched 3 episodes of Mind hunters season 2 on Netflix. it is sooo good.

i skipped formal workouts the past 2 days. I’m in a cleaning and organizing mode. I’ve gotten so much done and I’m averaging 1600 steps a day doing it so I know I’m being active!

Can't wait for September! I did not make a lot of challenges (listed) on here, so I am up for it!!!

I’ll check in if enough people participate

28. Ok, so yesterday, someone didn't show for their appointment so I dashed to the gym and did some cardio and weights which was a nice boost. I also drank a lot of water yesterday. Today has been a bit like yesterday because I started with Body Groove again before work and then when someone didn't show up, I dashed to the gym and did a bit more cardio and some more weights. I'm thinking I'd like to do some yoga tonight to stretch things out but that can also have a strength focus. I don't know if I will because the last time, the puppy kept trying to be a part of it and it's raining really hard out which means indoor time for the dogs. I'm also drinking a lot of water again today. As far as gardening...well the rain is happening...but when I went home at lunch, I did dead head my geraniums so that will have to count for today.

And yes to September Challenge!!! And, things are moving again per the scale this morning so I will keep on trucking and do my best to hit onederland next September.

Day 27 and 28

I didn't get a chance to rest yesterday! I was up and about after work to soccer runs with kids and I just felt like I was going and going!
I did walk around and soccer field for some cardio and Fitbit showed I was in cardio zone with my heart rate (which has been very easy to get to since surgery!! Is that part of the metabolic reset?? Or just ketosis?[emoji848][emoji848])

Today has been a lot better!! I was able to relax for 30 mins after work. I'm not gardening because it's ridiculously hot down here!!

I'll so some gentle stretching for strength. 12 days post OP so still taking it easy! I'm hunkering to be back in the gym!!

Checking in!

I’m not going to be able to weigh in at the end of the month. But before I left town I was maintaining below 130. I’m visiting a great food city, so i think I very well may be over 130 when I return. If so, no regrets, totally worth it ?

I’m killing it with walking lately. I’ve walked over a mile 24/28 days.

I’ll just talk about the days I did do the happiness challenges!

I did NOT make cookies, which I’m changing the task to. I’m calling that a win because I have a box of brownie mix calling my name

I’ve enjoyed getting out and enjoying some beautiful weather, so I’ll call that nature. I’ve been in exclusively urban areas lately

Try a new restaurant, lol, definitely check that one off, repeatedly

Spend time with family, done

Relax for 30 minutes, done

I will participate halfheartedly in a September challenge, just like I have this one ?

29. I expect this is my last entry for the month as I will be travelling tomorrow. Anyway, got up early and dropped the dogs off at their resort and headed to the gym. I had extra time so I did 40 minutes of cardio and then my weights for 15 minutes. I'm going to bed early tonight because I have to get up in the wee hours to bus to the airport etc. I will practice meditation while sitting around waiting for flights. I have a four hour layover tomorrow so I'm thinking that could become some good walking time but I have it mind to go to the gym once I arrive at my destination to get the kinks out. Anyway, I can claim a 3.5 lb weight loss for this month. Again not as much as I hoped for but I'll still take it as a win as progress is progress. Have a happy Labor Day Weekend!!! See you at the next challenge.

Okay so had my 6 months PO visit with my surgeon this morning.
Went well and I’ve lost 78 pounds since surgery day.
Lol, he laughed bc I was disappointed it wasn’t an even 80.

He told me that even if I didn’t lose another pound, he’s calling this a success, but said it’s totally reasonable (and doable with work and focus) to lose another 25 vanity pounds.
It was nice to hear that as far as he’s concerned, it’s up to me and there won’t be judging either way.

I’m at the tire shop getting a nail out of one of my tires, then off for a celebration pedi
