Canadian Challange



Recommended Posts

uggg... excercise... I'm planning on walking to and from work, as soon as I start. Is that good? How about I WALK to Tim Horton's for my coffee and donut in the morning?? LOL Just kidding, I'm not doing that anymore!

How about we set our own things to challenge ourselves with, and report on how we've done, whenever we're supposed to... ex:

CLOE wants to run 6 miles a day and eat 70 grams of Protein a day.

argon wants to lose 20 pounds and drink all her water!

Yoda want to sexercise 4 times a day.

kimmason wants to stop fantasizing about Brad Pitt.

etc, etc

We could start a new thread, list everyones goals in the first post, and everyone has to post how they're doing once a week (or even everyday, if they want).

Yoda: no no... I guess it's depending on how long of a challenge. I was thinking 20lbs in 3 months!

Cloe: I am sooo not a runner. I'm pretty sure you'd win. How about we make it a fall challenge? Since it's almost fall... it could be a 3 month thing. Then we could have a new one for winter? Anyone can join mid-way or whatever. What do you think? Or would you guys prefer a one month thing?

Irishmist: I'm with you. Exercise sucks!! Maybe someday I'll start enjoying it.

That is the trick Argon...for exercise: to find something you love (or at least like) doing...then it isn't a chore!

Okay...my goals/personal challenges for Aug will be as follows:

1. No chips for the month of August (this will be VERY difficult for me) .... "Strong with the Dark Side, this place be"

2. Lose a total of 8 pounds

It will be a challenge considering that I need a fill and I can't get it until 25 Aug.....

oh CRAP!!! Mr. Yoda just read my personal challenge/goals for Aug and HE said that "chips" also includes "cheezies & ringolos". Of course, I beg to differ.....Mr Yoda just said, "My own council I shall keep"....(drats to him!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK???? is it the same as chips?

*sigh* ahhhh, never mind....if I'm completely honest with myself I KNOW that "chips" includes those things. Okay....I will amend my #1 to include cheezies and ringolos. Okay, now I've made an almost next to impossible challenge for myself.

ssssssh don't tell Mr Yoda...but that means cupcakes are okay!!!! hehehehe.

OMG, I was only kidding about the running thing!!! Unless, of course, I'm running over to Mr. and Mrs. Yoda's house to get those ringolo's their gonna throw out:) .

Okay, a fall thing it is, Aug,Sept,Oct, right? I'll start the thread tommorow.

Irishmist, I'm so impressed, Can you really exercise EVERY day, I was thinking more along the line of 3-4 times a week. But I'm up for the challenge.

Kim, tommorrow is day three for you already!!

      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.
