💜 SEP 2019 CHALLENGE 💜



Recommended Posts

16. I did get my 105 squats done yesterday. I was doubting my follow through so glad I said I'd update about that. My thighs are grateful for the rest day today - I could feel the complaining when I was at the gym earlier. I had to push myself this morning to get up and go...I don't think the shorter days are helping. I want to stay in bed when it's dark out. Much as I would love to schedule a game night, it's not going to happen here. However, I did play games when I was vising my family at the beginning of the month. We played a game twice a day and it was a lot of fun.

Mid-month check in - meh. I was happy but the scale didn't move this week so meh. Hopefully, the scale will catch up with me and give me credit for all my hard work!

B-side - I think my pets are my biggest fans. Haters don't get to stay in my life - who needs the negative energy?

Squats done, but I had to take a break.

No haters that I am aware of, I’m unsure if I have any “fans” but a lot of people are proud of me.

Omg, Kathy Bates was so good in Misery!

Here is a pic from July of my shoes in action. They have paint splatters on them now, but they are so comfortable I’m not in a hurry to replace them.

18. I forgot to do my squats. I didn't do any major projects or anything but I did take the trash out which is on the weekly to do list. Hope that counts.

19. Making up for missed squats yesterday so 270 squats completed! Oy! I feel them most in my quads. I'll compliment the next person I see. LOL.

Happy Thursday!

Day 19:

140 squats coming up, I'm on 10.

Compliment someone: This happens on the daily for me as it's definitely easier to give than to receive BUT as I'm home this am, I complimented my husband on his way out[emoji38]

Tech: Sad to say I can't live without my phone but I'm working on it.

Have a fantastic day team 🧡🧡🧡[emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]

Well I don't think I could Do 140 reps even if someone was holding a gun on me, but I promise to compliment people TODAY, oh I guess I already told the phone associate at Lincare that they had an excellent company and I was glad I chose them as my C-Pap supplier- hope that counts as it was corporate instead of personal.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
