Well today is day three of the liquid diet-pre surgery. Yesterday was a tough day for me but so far today its not a hard. I have already lost 5 lbs. I know its not much but its a start towards my new journey. I hate TV right now because ALL they seem to show is food commercials. Drives me crazy but I am trying to make sure that when I think I am hungry I am really hungry and not just bored or whatever. I know that those issues can occur so I want to understand my body. Next Wednesday is the big day and I want to have my head in the right place.
A friend of mine that is just starting the process to get the lap band, asked me yesterday if I had my list of things that I want to do once I lose my weight. She said that I need to open myself up to the idea that I have held myself back because of my weight and I need to have my list started. I giggled about it but then started thinking about it. hmmmm what have I held my self back from........ LOTS I am a chicken by nature and I guess I have let my weight be my excuse and that just isn't cool. So I am working on my list but I thought I would share what my friend told me was her "weight loss bucket list".
Climb a mountain (not something that I have thought about doing because I a super clumsy and scared of heights)
run a 5K (ok so obviously running has not been a passion of mine but this is something that could be fun)
learn to country dance (Got that one already, my husband is the best at that and we use to do that all the time)
Now get ready here is her wacky ones:
sky dive
Wrestle an alligator (WHAT!!! NO) she says she needs to get the weight off so she can move faster. RIGHT!!!! lol
The sky dive thing sounds kind of fun but I am SOOOOOO scared of heights that I am not sure I can do it. But if nothing else I will tell her take pictures of her doing it. LOL
Now there is one thing that we have agree about doing....... once we meet our goal weight we are gong to take a trip together to New York. We have both always wanted to go there and I think its something that will be a lot of fun for she and I to do together and celebrate our new selves.
As far as my "weight loss bucket list" well I am still not really sure. I know shopping for really cute clothes and getting a new hair style in one the list. I would like to zip line. So I guess here is my list
1. new cute up to date clothes
2. spunky new hair style
3. try zip lining
That's a start. We will see where it goes. I think I am going to post my list on the fridge and it will give me the push I need.
