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-Side Question:

What is your favorite vegetable?

[Frustr8 7,886]

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.

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. 🤣🤣🤣

[Sheribear68 3,200]

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

Day 8:

Abs anywhere done. Today was just a day!!!![emoji27]

Things I'm grateful for:
Too numerous to count!! But definitely my family both nuclear and extended! My friendships, my health, this surgical tool and life, love laughter [emoji2][emoji38]

Favorite vegetable: prior to surgery, NONE!! Post surgery: Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.

Favorite vegetable - Sugar snap peas dipped in hummus or guacamole

138lbs getting my weight bounce down is going slow.

I’m feeling my age this morning. Hip pain *laughing* but still going to the gym. Walking and arm day.

[Sheribear68 3,200]

GOAL!

I got my current scale about 5 weeks post op, so it shows me “only”losing 60-odd pounds, but this morning I hit GW.

WOW.
Just......l wow.

HW: 272
SW: 246
GW: 155
CW: 155.

Damn I’m crying

[seaforest 562]

@Sheribear68 - I'm so excited for you! Yay!!

[seaforest 562]

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.

Congratulations! It’s a weird feeling, isn’t it?

[Cheeseburgh 3,075]

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.
