Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Ok, I think that since Valentines Day is coming up that we need to review what all we love about ourselves...As a great poster had me do once, make a list of all the things that we love or like about ourselves then make a list of the things that we dislike....We should notice that the things on the dislike list are really things that we ourselves can change...During the week we ought to work on changing these things into a positive...After all, if we dont love ourselves we will never be truely happy!!

Plus of course keep up with the great Water intake, food and workouts!!! Lets have good attitudes and learn to love ourselves all over again since we are all changing day by day!!

Will that work sgt???? Thats all thats been on my mind lately

For breakfast today I had a few thin slices of turkey breast from the deli and 2 slices of american cheese with a table spoon of wasabi mayo for taste.

I've had one bottle of Water so far.

This weekend I got in a TON of exercise on saturday when I took my first trip to Ikea. It took us 4 hours to walk the store. My legs were sore from it on Sunday.

Sunday I did my house cleaning and had friends over for dinner and cards. I made taco meat with extra lean beef and mixed fat free refried Beans into the meat. Then mashed an avacado with no seasoning. I made it so everyone could have nacho's and I just put meat/bean mixture in a bowl with a table spoon of avacado, tblspoon of sour cream, table spoon of cheese and tblespoon of salsa. It was really good!

How is everyone else doing???

Hey it's not me, it who my signature says. All The Time

There are so many times I can't think of anything nice to say about myself to myself. I call my self those negative names so many times in a day. So last year I siad instead of saying the negative stuff I will say postive things. There were times when I couldn't think of one positive thing I wanted to say to myself. So at those times I just give thanks and praise. So instead of saying I hate myself or hate what I thought or hate what I said. I say thank you Lord.

I am my worst enemy sometimes.

Thats why it important to sometimes go back and make a list so that you can refer back to them sometimes and remember what you really do like about you!!! I am going to tape my list inside my locker next to a small magnetic mirror at work to help remind me everytime I open it up...I want to improve my self love big time!!!

I now know what I'm having for dinner tonite, taco salad:hungry: I have the ground turkey and beef, salsa, lettuce & sour cream already, I'll just pick up the cheese and taco seasonings.

Your welcome on the prayer. Prayer changes things. I have to remember to keep my focus. At our Church our theme is "ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS!!"

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
