💜 SEP 2019 CHALLENGE 💜



Recommended Posts

10. Well, I did get my 65 squats for yesterday done and my 70 for today. I did also get my exercise in and there was some walking involved so I shall count that as a walk taken. I will also probably do some walking around the front yard with the puppy when I get home for training purposes.

As far as my glutes go, I just don't want them to be flat. So far so good. :)

B-Side Question:




Which flavors best describes Fall to you?




I always think of pumpkin, apple cider and maple


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.

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

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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
