TURKEY DAY Challenge 2009



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just to let you all know,

I sorted the spreadsheet by user name so that it is now alphabetical. No need to mark your name in a special color just to find it. (If everyone colors their name, then they'll all be hard to find! :) )

Your name should be there, alphabetically, with numbers first.

Thanks RobinAnn for setting this spreadsheet up (and the alpha-sort was a great idea)! 'Linky-doo' hee-hee-hee!

Glad to see our April Group has moved on over to this new LBT challenge (the Bunnies are multiplying again LOL).

I think this challenge is just what I needed. I've lost

3lbs. since Monday.....BUT....I was REALLY bad last

weekend so some of that is bound to come off faster.

I have got up at 4:30am 2 mornings and did a walk/jog

program, I've had it for months but was too lazy to use

and I played softball last night(which I've been doing once

a week since spring). Took today off but will be back at

it tomorrow. Also there is a Turkey Day 5k close to home...

I'm gonna give that a try. I've had no motivation to get

off my lazy butt. I forgot how good I felt after exercise.:thumbup:

I seem to be going in the wrong direction. I gained weight last week. Need to get serious this week. I didn't set that big of a goal, so if I work at it, I should be able to do it. I'm thinking positive...

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
