💜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, 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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
