The Very Scary Halloween Challenge



Recommended Posts

Personal Goal ~Get back to writing every day (this month: revise last novel). I did not do well with this one. I'm re-visiting it next month!

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, what kind of novel is it? Since you say your last novel, I assume that you have previous novels. Any published? Any available online?

WOOHOO! I wanted to lose 10 pounds this month, and I've lost 12 in the last two weeks, so that's a total of 16 for the month of October! I wanted to lose 20 by the end of the year, and I think I'm going to get there!

Hi, Larry! No published novels yet, though I have an agent. I write urban fantasy, primarily (think "True Blood"-type stuff) though I'm currently working on a young adult postapocalyptic novel. I'm a college English professor, so most of my published work is academic. Keep your fingers crossed for me on the novels. :D

I made my weight goal!!!! I had a goal of 195 set and weighed in at 194.5. It was amazing though because most of the loss occurred in the last week of the challenge. I also have done pretty well on the goal of doing at least 45 minutes on the ellyptical 6 days a week. I did miss that a few days when i was traveling for work, but i have to say I have been very faithful on sticking with it when I could get to the gym and I have been pumping up the level. I did not meet my goal of running 2 miles without stopping but I will work on it this month.

Thanks for inviting me to the challenge!!

I weighed in @ 254.2, did not meet my goal weight. I did excellent on my exerise goals this month, however I could have used some improvement on dietary (more fruits and vegetables, less carbs). And my personal goal I can't even remember what it was so I definately know I did not work on that. October was a struggle for me. I pray November "Turkey Challenge" will be better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
