Healthy Thursday



Recommended Posts

Anyone interested in having one day to focus on healthy eating and exercise? I know every day should be that way but some of us <raises hand> have been struggling. I was thinking if I could get myself back on track for even one day it would help. Anyone else want to vow to make tomorrow all about a healthy you? It can be whatever your own personal idea of a healthy you looks like. Mine is to get at least 40 minutes of exercise, take all my Vitamins, drink at least 60 oz of Water and to eat clean - no preservatives or artificial stuff, no refined anything, only complex carbs and no sugar except the fresh fruit kind.

A great idea - but can we make it Friday? I have to go out of town on business meetings tomorrow, and between the 4 am start, and hotel meals (x2) I don't think it is going to be my day. Otherwise, I'm in for next Thursday!

Sounds good to me too. I just found out that my husband will probably be coming home from the hospital tomorrow so it will be crazy. Plus we are having chinese food with his therapy group at the hospital - it's an outing for life skills.

Both Thursday and Friday turned out decent for me for calories. Friday was an almost perfect day. Only slipped on 1 Peanut Butter cookie and a spoonful of ice cream. Not too bad at all considering where I was last week. It's very nice to have my support system back home. Also helps that I have time and someone to cook for again. It's so much easier to be good that way.

Well as predicted healthy Thursday didn't work out - catered meals in business meetings do NOT lend themselves to band or calorie or healthy friendly choices. No cheese, no fruit but morning pastries, decadent Desserts, no breaks (other than 10 min bio breaks).

Friday was recovery - but not too bad, although I didn't get the exercise in.

I think I will try for next week - this one's been shot.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
