What did you do right today?



Recommended Posts

One day at a time, right? I'm not going to stress about next week or next month. I'm going to focus on right now.

Today, I went to the gym this morning and worked out for 2 1/2 hours.

Today, I ate fewer than 1,400 calories.

I'm not sure how tomorrow will go. Hopefully, I will stay true to my re-dedicated attitude. Maybe I'll go to the gym again if I can manage it. Maybe tomorrow I'll do even better, or maybe not. I'll worry about tomorrow when I wake up.

But today, I did remember to act in a way consistent with my goals on this weight loss journey.

How about you? What did you do right today?

I workout everyday from 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Today I had nothing better to do, and my new kettlebell came in, so I just finished working out for about four hours. My body is DEAD. I haven't felt this sore in a while. That, and I'm continuing eating right.

EDIT: I clicked on this topic through the the new topics section, just realized it was for May bandsters. Oh well.

That's OK, SW... anyone can play.

Today, I have kept up my food-log.

I have not had anything to drink with my meals.

I had HALF of something for lunch. (Half is enough, but in the past I might have eaten the whole because it's something I love.)

Good day to ask!

It was Fathers Day here in Australia, so we went out for Breakfast. I didnt order a meal, I shared DH's (he's banded to) and had a few tastes of the cheese kransky (sausages that in general, you may as well just shove down your aorta and get your heart attack over and down with right there on the spot), some of his eggs, and I cleaned up my son's half grilled Tomato and some of his mushrooms. I had a skinny latte and about 1/4 of a piece of the yummy ciabatta toast.

All in all, a tiny meal if you put it all on a plate, but I was very full! But did I come home, wait till it had gone down a bit and then think "well I've blown it today, I'll help DH with his father's day choccies? No, I didnt. That feeling of having had a big meal (even though it really wasnt, and would do no damage at all to my diet) really derails me, I still do that I've blown it now I may as well really have some fun thing. But in the end we were busy and I didnt eat again till late afternoon, when I had a little tub of fruit right before I went to the gym. There I did 25 minutes of really hard intervals on the elliptical, 25 minutes of easier interevals on the treadmill and a body pump class.

Had a healthy dinner and when DH bought out more choccies and a bottle of Baileys later that night, I said no to both.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
