Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp

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!!"

      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.
