💜AUGUST 2019 CHALLENGE💜



Recommended Posts

Checking in ...

Weight is back under 130, so good. Been a very active past few days, so meeting my mile minimum easily.

7 - catch up with an old friend

I was at an industry event, so yeah, did a lot of catching up!

I'm skipping 8 & 9, no time for cooking, and I don't like Water. (I know, I'm terrible)

Just got back from Toronto. I walked and walked and walked but I didn’t do any formal exercising. We spent so little time at the hotel so it was easy to skip. I ate healthy and within plan the entire trip and had a great time.

I think I win the happiness challenge though. I got to meet and hangout with my 1 month old granddaughter. Our first and only Grandchild.

I’ll start following the August challenge calendar tomorrow!

Maybe one of the Admin will help: Flag it and add the comment wrong thread

You only have a 2 hr window to edit anything on this site. After that it remains forever so careful what you decide to share 💜

Mega Catch Up: August 6-10th

6. I'm off the sauce. Permanently 😳

7. I finally responded to someone I've been ghosting for weeks, does that count?

8. I almost made a crustless cheesecake but I was too tired. Been stew it is 🏆

9. I actually drank less because I fell asleep early. My nightly potty schedule didn't get the memo 😒

10. I will not see anyone to smile at today, so I'll be in the mirror

9. Did my cardio and did actually manage a couple of extra ounces of Water. I didn't think I was going to pull that off but I did. :)

10. Trying to figure out 40 minutes of strength training. Part of me wants to say since I do some every day, I should just take credit for the days I do it that the challenge doesn't ask me to. LOL. But that's the hitch, since I do some every day, I don't have 40 minutes worth to do today...or maybe I do, I'll have to see how it turns out - if I hit the gym. Mostly what I'd like to do is go swimming. I have a wish to swim across my local pond and back - that's the exercise I would choose today - that and mowing the lawn. If I encounter any people, I'll try to remember to smile. I'm more likely to encounter some ducks.

I think swimming can count as strength training because of the resistance. And mowing the lawn... You need the sheer will of a teen desperately trying to save up for a car 😂

August 10th

Personal goal 5 pounds this challenge –

Sleeve - losing my maintaining bounce weight.

Current weight – 135 up two pounds since the 8th

Ever have a dream about your husband and you wake up angry at him. (even though he’s done nothing wrong) I decided to go to the gym and not take it out on him. Ran 13 miles. My husband gets to live another day *laughing*

Smile at as many people as possible: 5:30am is mostly seniors at my gym. I get the best smiles back, hugs and stories. Warms my heart.

The downside of smiling at the gym. If I smile the entire time I work out, it gives off a serial killer vibe. I feel vulnerable in some of the positions the gym put you in. If you are all sweaty and on the good girl bad girl machine. The last thing I want to do is make eye contact and smile at someone. If I am foam rolling my legs, please don’t smile at me and I won’t smile at you.

HA!

I hope no one ever smiles at me while im on the BBL machine. 😂

"No I'm not happy I NEED to do this"

It is weird to smile at someone obviously suffering

      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.

      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! 🤣
