Definitely apple cider.

I’m so frustrated. Just checked the weather forecast and we’re at 90+ degree days for at least another 10 days.
Guess we can have fall in October?

Day 10

I wish I could take a picture of me actually sweating buckets from 70 squats done!![emoji27][emoji27][emoji27][emoji27] OMG!!!! Heart rate went to 150 bpm!!! Lol!!!

Took a walk around the sports court of hospital grounds! Very random thing to do and I have never done it before. It was very nice and I was able to get some steps in[emoji106]

Flavor of fall? Definitely pumpkin spice and for some reason nutmeg [emoji848]?‍♀️

11. 75 squats done. I'm considering scheduling a massage for my spa time.

Bside. Fall doesn't have a flavor for me. It does smell of fallen leaves and woodsmoke though.

Did my 75 squats and then my trainer decides to add squats and lunges into today’s workout...um, no thanks! So glad tomorrow is a rest day

Day 11

75 squats done! Hella exhausted!

Spa time booked while on Girls trip in Vegas this weekend [emoji106]

First trip since surgery at exactly 4 weeks post OP.....will see how I fare [emoji57][emoji22]

Oh yes! Fall definitely has a scent

As a child it used to be crunchy oak leaves, hot chocolate on brisk mornings, pencil shavings and paper

Now its baking sweet potatoes, apple orchards, steamy boiling water, wool and leather

Good Morning Beauties!

B-Side Question: Did you form any completely new habits pre/post op?

12. Rest day for my butt! Yay! But honestly, I did go to the gym so not entirely a rest day. I don't see myself doing any hobbies today but I will try to do so over the weekend.

Bside - I think my new habit is the gym. I was thinking about it earlier...I think I could count on one hand how many days I've not actually not gotten any exercise. I'm addicted to exercise! So funny. Another new habit is tracking everything I eat. I have had this habit before but I plan to keep it now...well until my eating is out of my hands.

I’m on an every other day schedule it seems with the squats.

Day 11. Spa time: I took a long shower lol

Day 12: Hobby. The past few weeks I’ve turned into the DIY queen around the house. The bathroom job just kept getting bigger, so today looks like I’m going to put up new baseboard. It’s turning out nice, I’m pretty proud of myself!

B side: New habits. I walk everyday and workout at least 3 days a week. I also am organizing EVERYTHING in my house. I feel like a need a clean slate and I’m getting rid of clutter and stuff I just don’t need.

Here are my new habits.

I try to check in with myself at least once daily. I mentally review my plan for the next day and prep/plan what has the best chance of success. Some days it’s completely trial and error, but at least now I’ve developed the habit of mindfulness.

Also, this place is now a habit. I’ve always liked being part of a bigger whole, and here I can plug into a network and connect with veteran WLS patients and also with brand new patients just starting their journey. All of us share this really important event and even though our stories and paths aren’t identical, so many aspects are still relateable.
