🍁 OCT 2019 CHALLENGE 🍁



Recommended Posts

Day 7:
Skipped exercise yesterday but completed multiple acts of random kindness. Gave my seat on the plane to a family that wanted to sit together.

Abs anywhere done plus cycle class!! Skipping yesterday made today's ab exercise a lot more fruitful.
I didn't try a new exercise but I consider these ABs exercise new.

I'll go for a walk after work today.

Ready for the week!!

B-sided reply it's a tie between cauliflower which seems easier on my cranky Precious Pouch than the Rest of the Cabbage family and, brace yourself- Collard and other greens except Turnip ones- never could abide the veggie or its greens - YUCKY POO to the MAX! Used to ❤fresh baby green peas, but the skins of it and sweet corn, a moment on the lips but FOREVER in my diverticular pockets, ate sweet corn once and passed little reminders for 4 days straight. Yeah, TMI but just my testimony today!

8. Made it to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio...I have yoga tonight for 3 hours. I did get my abs anywhere done yesterday...maybe I'll do them again today while dinner is in the oven. That seems to be the prime spot for getting those done. I'm grateful for all 5 of my fur babies and for so many things.

B-side: These days it's brussel sprouts that top my veggie list. But it's awfully close. I love asparagus, artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, corn on the cob. After that we get to root veggies.

I’m not finding these easier as I go....

Favorite vegetable. I am not a huge fan of a lot of veggies, I prefer cold raw vegetables. I guess in summer I would say a salad or asparagus and in the winter I love acorn squash.

B-Side Question:




What is your favorite vegetable?


Any kind of leafy greens.
I’m a salad freak and adore making entire salad-meals.
My typical salads have 2-3 kinds of cheese, several different types of veggies, Protein, and some kind of nuts for topping. Don’t even get in my way if avocados are in season. 🤣🤣🤣

Okay so I’m thankful for many things.
1. My new lifestyle. It’s tough at times, but completely worth it.
2. My amazing husband
3. My kids— especially now that they’re all out of the house, yet they each live within 10 minutes.
4. My health and brain
5. Having a roof over my head and a steady (no matter how crazy it can get sometimes) job

9. I didn't pamper myself yet but I'm sitting here on wet Friday afternoon with a hot cup of tea and the idea of a hot bath does appeal. I'm sure I can take care of that in the next few days. No abs anywhere on the 9th but did get in some yoga on top of cardio at the gym.

10. Cardio at the gym, some abs anywhere but didn't finish them all, no Goodlife group class but I am in a group class with the yoga.

11. Delicious time at the gym this morning...cardio, abs, some legs...more tomorrow. My plot is to do a full yoga routine via video this evening. And I just spoke 3 things I love about me out loud.

Happy Friday and long weekend for those who have Monday off. I'm so excited for to have that for myself.

Pamper: I got a manicure, I can’t recall the last time I did that. I feel very shiny lol

Going to a Vegas/casino theme party so we’re getting all dressed up tonight. The food sounds amazing and looks like a lot of good choices will be available. I’m the designated driver so no added calories!

One of the things I love about myself is that I don’t talk aloud about the things I love about myself.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
