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

?CONGRATULATIONS?

Day 29

I did meditate today!!! Multiple times. Going back to work has been a testament... needless to say, I needed to actively meditate to catch my breath.
Continued the walking and Fitbit says I do get to cardio range for about 60mins.

May 30
We having family members coming for the long holiday weekend. Only my husband knows about my surgery. Kids know I had surgery but don't know what it was for. Our live in nanny is kinda aware that I'm using my surgery as a way to eat healthy and she has been beyond supportive and her refried beans, lentils soup and chicken has been out of this world amazing. I was too busy eating unhealthily that I never paid attention to her fantastic cooking skills [emoji85][emoji85] She's been with us for years!!

So this weekend will be a test. Luckily I'd warned my sister in law (and BFF) that I was going on a radical lifestyle change after our cruise this summer.
I've had our (my) old food favorites catered and my hubby (who is a better cook than I am) will be in charge of feeding everyone while I discreetly maintain my plan.....?‍♀️

Needless to say, I'm not going to bed early tonight as they get in from California tonight.

This was a fantastic challenge! Made me dig deep (I love to stay superficial which was part of my problem) and be mindful, accountable and present. Thanks GT. Bring on September!!!![emoji126][emoji126][emoji126][emoji126]

Ok lads, late posting this and I sucked at the challenge (didn’t quite hit onderland) but I did increase my exercise heaps and joined the gym so I’m well proud of myself for that

August was a blast! Thank you everyone who participated! Head over to the Sep 2019 Challenge for more fun ?
