TGIF!!!!!!![emoji119][emoji119][emoji119] This was a helluva week!!!🥵

Day 24, 25 and 26
Hubby and I did date night last weekend. It was lovely!
I'm not on any social media other than Bariatric pal by choice! So nothing to unfollow. I definitely said no to writing a blog for work. I'm typically the go to person for the blogs but I was TRULY swamped this week so it was a "HECK NO"!! Moment when I was asked! No guilt too!!
Day 27: I'm using my phone as we speak so hard for it to be a phone free night. I may drop it when I'm done writing this[emoji2].....but then again, I'm on call tonight so no can't do.

Squats!! Was happy for rest day! From day 25 onwards, squats have been done in 2 events![emoji28]
I'll complete the rest of my 95 later tonight.

B side: My older sister is my absolute girl crush!! I 🧡 her!! She's admirable, courageous and FIERCE!!!

Did I say TGIF??? Yay!!

28. Completed the 5K walk and was somewhere in the middle as far as placing went. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Then I went to yoga teacher training for the afternoon...and we went to the beach to practice! There were some squats in the practice but that's not what we called them. I didn't watch much tv or video yesterday but I did see a funny thing where someone dressed up as a bear and scared his co-worker when he came around the corner.

29. Sore butt and hips this morning. I'm going to the gym and then another afternoon of yoga and we're going back to the beach! So glad we're getting in this outside time on the weekend. Of course, it doesn't help me mow my lawn...oh well. No plan for squats today unless I'm doing leg presses or they are part of the yoga routines. Right now, I would say that the something good that happened is being outside a lot of the weekend.

B-side. Super busy...hmm, I would say reading before bed and, these days, gym/exercise somewhere in the day. Oh, and of course, some time with the fur babies! I like to make sure they know that they are loved every day and they let me know the same.

Day 29

100 squats done so far!! My thighs are burning but looks good!![emoji106]looking streamlined [emoji28]

Will complete 100 later on.

Write down something good: I was just writing in my journal that I am gaining confidence in my ability to live this lifestyle longterm and for me this is a BIG deal!!!

B side: I always find time to read!! No matter how busy! It's my way of decompressing after a long day! Even if for 10 minutes.

Off to completing my squats🥵

30. Well, to finish out the month...down 7 lbs in total....a hair's breadth away from onederland at 200.2. Grrr. I hope I wake up tomorrow and start the new month in onederland. My new thing is to practice mindfulness...goes with my yoga training...ooohhh, today I'm feeling muscles I'm not used to feeling! Like the front of my shins. The squats went out the window but I'm ok with that because it wasn't that I wasn't moving.

I guess that's it for the month....I really enjoyed it! Thanks for hosting GT! :) See you in the next challenge!

I've totally slacked on this challenge this month!

I have been walking a decent amount this month. Not as much as previous months because of travel and September is the hottest month where I live.

I did also meet my goal of staying under 130 ... barely! Weighed in this morning at 129.8 ...whew!

      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!!
