@Cheeseburgh a bike?? Like a proper one that goes from A to B or a stationary one like wot you can do in front of the telly??

A real bike! It’s a 7 speed cruiser bike. It is being delivered tomorrow.

I have an elliptical and a recumbent exercise bike at home. I still prefer the gym because I work harder there.

Here is a picture of it.

B side: I practice self care just about everyday.

Checking in ...

Maintaining below 130 ... had a great month so far for getting 1+ miles of walking in a day.

15-16-17 - I didn't color, treat myself, nor will I get a massage today

B-side self care - Not a lot honestly. Funny when I started working from home about 5 years ago I had planned to get cheap local massages on the regular. Has. not. happened. once.

Happy Saturday. Finished an hour and a half run. No time for a massage. @Cheeseburgh Thanks for the snacking tip. Still a bit cranky detoxing. I have new motivation to get the weight down. Going to a family wedding in Sept then a vacation with my hubby.

What kinds of foods/things are you detoxing from?

Sugar and salt feel like the worst....

This summer I've been surrounded by naughty food. [emoji12] I'm detoxing off sugar, wine and extra carbs. I should feel better by next week.

Meh. Mostly good I think

Yesterday was emotional bc my daughter had her white coat ceremony.
I made sure to dress in an outfit that made me feel FABULOUS (and I looked pretty good), except my hair.< br /> My hair is thinning so badly that I’m having difficulty getting excited about my outfits and my body.
Need to get over that.
Also, I allowed my daughter to sweet-talk me into taking her to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant (I had originally had plans to go to Pilates after the ceremony).
In short, I had a margarita AND nachos instead of exercising so there was soooo much guilt.
But OTOH, the day was super special for my daughter so I was sacrificing for her.
Was able to get right back on track today though so I’m feeling way better about the weekend than I did at this point yesterday.

Here is a pic of us and yes..... I’m super proud,proud mom right now.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
